A post to gush about new and old toys, because most of my local friends don't give a fuck:

Two weeks ago after the release of the incredible #assembly64 client for mac/winders/linux from Hackers With Style, I was so impressed with the software, I ordered a cartridge based, cycle-exact floppy drive emulator PACKED with extra features called the #1541Ultimate II+ from #Gideon's Logic.

For those not directly plugged in to the Commodorkosphere, Gideon is the genius who's creations from which the re-re-re-resurrected #commodore brand built their flagship products.

So the 1541U2 arrived two days ago. I got it set up on the C64c I've been playing with since the 1980s and connected to it from Assembly64 on my macbook over ethernet and everything worked perfectly, first try. Awesome!

44 years worth of music, graphics, demos, games and tools is a staggering amount of material to sift through, but with this combination of software and hardware, it's all at my fingertips to use immediately on real hardware by simple double-click.

This is key because as with anything, when there's a lot of it, a lot of it sucks. Instead of hours wasted scavenger hunting and unpacking disk images or even actual disks, it's all a double click away. If it sucks, no sunk cost, no frustration, just clicky clicky on the next thing and it copies over, loads and launches.

(or it can be routed to a local emulator, too... or both. Why not both? )

Anyway it's the most fun I've had with my C64 since my dad let me start using the modem back in 1990. Also no more frustrations from 40 year old floppy drives giving up mid-access, neither.

Hell this 1541U is so great, I decided to order the C64 Ultimate instead of continuing to invest in clever hacks and sketchy fixes for my ever-aging collection of OG Commodore hardware. I'm not holding my breath but it would be amazing if it showed up in time for this year's #revision easter democene party.

Anyway that's my #retro #commodore ted talk for today. If you're on the fence about buying new hardware for old computers, I can tell ya Gideon's products are worth every euro.

The latest macOS (Sonoma 14.5) broke something in regards of running unsigned apps. #Assembly64 no longer starts and macOS claims that the application is corrupt and needs to be removed. However, reinstalling the app and launching it once from command line appears to have fixed it, and now I can launch it from the application icon again, too.

So once installed (and the quarantine bit has been removed), do this once from terminal:

/Applications/assembly64.app/Contents/MacOS/assembly64

I'm not entirely sure why this seems to have cured it, but I'll take it. #c64 #commodore64 #ultimate64

Cool feature of #Ultimate64 is that since you can remote control the system over telnet or #Assembly64 you don't necessarily need to reach the keyboard. This is quite handy in tight quarters. #rackmount #c64 #retrocomputing

I can recommend #Assembly64 for controlling your #Ultimate64 - it makes it very easy to run demos, games and play music on u64. If you don't actually have a screen to connect to or want to stream video & audio to your desktop you can do just that with some configuration and using tool such as https://github.com/dusteddk/u64view/ assembly64: https://assembly64.hackerswithstyle.se/assembly/ #c64 #retrocomputing
