Software / C64 Emulator Total Newbie Needs Help

Dear Ford,

thank you for the input. Yes it seems like the Frodo port still has some rough edges that limit its functionality. (Especially swapping disks)

Would be great to see an alternative for Frodo on the Zaurus. There still is a big installed base of C64 fans around the world...

  hello ford...

yes FINALLY got that baby working! There was a problem with the graphics library but now fixed

now I only wonder how i can switch disks during gameplay... (in original 1541 mode) when i gop back to the giu and then back to frodo it restarts...

-is there any way to play multiple disk games?
-is there a way to save games? or do a snapshot file?

cheers,

marc

Hello,

yes I did all that.

All ROM files are in the correct  frodo folder. But no change. When I click on the Frodo icon (not the Frodo GUI icon) part of the screen turns black and the machine freezes. Same as before

hello,

this is a request from a total newbie.  i have my 760 for over 1 year but i only use it as a translator for japanese/english. i also bought it for playing retro games like i used to do on my pdas before, but i stopped using it for that because all was too complicated. i am using it with the original rom 1.20JP  

i downloaded many emulators apple ii, atari, c64 but i got none of them to work.  

so at least i want to play c64 games on my c760... but what do i need to do?

i downloaded the ipk file for the emu and for the gui but even i try to start it it does not work. i have all the necessary rom files on my zaurus (please do not ask me where, i just copied them from my pc to my zaurus)...but where to go from there?

as i said i have no idea about what to do... i searched on the net but things like terminal mode, root user access and so on are all greek to me. can anybody help me with a step -by-step way just to get that one c64 emulator running? i owned many pdas before (starting from newton, over palm to ppc) but i never had any trouble installing third party soft like i have here on the zaurus.  

any help deeply appreciated,

marc
