To double-check the 64 CUPCAKE-CART board I load DOC COSMOS in to a W27C512 rom (twice) and it works just fine.

At least for me, neither version works.  The conversion process does make 64K files, but after 58DF, it's all "FF's in file imported in to xgPro 12.60.

I wanted to make some cartridges.

CartConv seems to make a .bin file for this game, but the conversion does not work.  Anyone have a good .bin file for this game?

CAN'T USE CARTCONV.EXE TO MAKE A .BIN FILE THAT WORKS.  Ooops.

Finally came back to it.  I have tried loading it via pi1541, with and without the Epyx cartridge plugged it.   The RED light stays on the pi1541, but after 5-10 minutes, it just stays on and locks up.

I use FB to find the .d64 file, do in it,  select game, and click enter.  Bottom of screen fills with stuff and then the black C64 screen.  I then type sys 2064, get a bunch of stuff at the top and then a dead black screen.  PAL/NTSC (my monitor can do PAL or NTSC, but the C64 is jumpered for NTSC (I think there may be a resistor change also to change it to PAL.  Never the less, even as an NTSC C64, it should be doing something.  I just got the SD2IEC, so I am still not sure how to use it yet.  The only think I know so far is to LOAD"FB",8 then type RUN to use their file browser.  I have Death Flood under a folder of its own and then the .d64 file under it. My apologies; it would be best to have a floppy, but I have no idea how to make a single sided 5.25" floppy.  I do have the 1541 drives, but know way to download a file off the internet on my modern computer and make a 360K 5.25" floppy.  I may be able to  do a 3.5" floppy, using util software and a USB 3.5" floppy drive,  but I do not have a commodore 3.5" drive.  This is why I ordered a SD2IEC device.  Maybe it is not a good solution either.  So I am not sure what to do at this point.

I can not get it to work.  I have no way to create a 360K 5.25" floppy with it on to use with a 1541 drive.  I give up; I don't think the real C64 version works, maybe only the emulator? (which I have no interest in).

I still can not get it to run on a real comodore 64.  I downloaded the built and put the folder on my SD2IEC SD card.  I can then load and run "FB", locate the .d64 file and go in it.  If I select "Loader" it just runs forever showing "loading".  The game itself can be selected, but I just go back to the ready prompt and nothing else, "RUN" does nothin.

Thank you.  I do have several drives but haven't tried them yet.

P.S. - trying to run it from uSD on a Kung Fu  Flash.  Maybe it will not run from there?

On a real C64, can't seem to get past "loading....."

Hah, via RS232? Brilliant, yet thank you.  That probably is the way.  I'll look in to it; thank you.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed; I am still learning this world (back when I was young, I had Ohio Scientific and not cool stuff like this and was more in to Electronics engineering).  I have collected a number of  1541 drives (Flappers and not the twist engage).  I really don't see transferring the game (or games) to floppies, but if I did, I am guessing that would have to be done on the C64 itself.  If I have an older 90's DOS PC with a 5.25" drive, are there utilities that will allow it to write 5.25" disks?  I don't know if single sides drives would be needed or if a higher end 5.25" drive could still write to a lesser format.  I only ask because I have a ton of 5.25" floppy disks, both low and high density, and have 3D printed several disk box and have others.   It might be nice to be able to do that for the 1980s "feel".  I think I could also get the files to the older PC via an XTIDE card.

Question: I am very new to C64s and am enjoying repairing them more than using them - lol.   I downloaded the game and manual, but the game extension is .D64.  I thought the extension has to be .prg?   I can put it on an SD card on one of the plug in adapters I have, but I really though it needed to be a .prg?  No?
