@benstylus that usually depends on the game. Some will just run faster, others won't work at all. Polar Bear in Space! won't run correctly on an NTSC machine, so it would have to be run on PAL. I don't have a C64mini, but I think someone made a patch for the mini that can make the it switch between NTSC and PAL.

The updated version is much easier with the new cheat mode - and some of the underground levels are rearranged slightly to make them easier to walk through. Definitely worth another try :)

9 1/2 hours of video - that's dedication! And definitely not an easy game - you should try the updated version from this year with Bearable Mode and other improvements!

@PixiEdward you have to launch the game in "Bearable Mode" for that.

On the Photosensitive Warning screen, when pressing F1 or F7, hold down the SHIFT key at the same time (that is, press F2 or F8 instead) . This will put the game into Bearable Mode and also set all timers to 60.

Hi!

The game loads and autostarts fine for me on my SD2IEC. This is how I do it:

• LOAD ”FB64”,8 <RETURN>
  (this loads the SD2IEC file browser, assuming this is called FB64 on your SD2IEC card as well)
• RUN <RETURN>
  (this starts the SD2IEC file browser)
• Select “POLARBEAR.d64" by pressing <RETURN> on the entry
  (make sure NOT to select the “   POLAR BEAR   .PRG” inside the D64 here after selecting the D64)
• Quit FB64 by pressing “Q”
  (this will now mount the disk image)
• Back at the BASIC prompt, type LOAD ”*”,8,1 <RETURN>
  (this loads and auto-starts the game)

Because SD2IEC doesn't work with all fast loaders, loading takes a few minutes in either case, but you should see Polar Bear tap his foot while the game loads.

Hope this helps!
