Major changements was made to Combian64 menu:- Items reorganization
- Added detailed instructions
- Added Midnight Commander
- Added X-Copy, an option that will copy your rom from USB keys to Combian 64 folder automatically w/out straggling against Midnight Commander usage.
Please Note - Combian64 is now splitted in two version:
- Version 2.5 [Vice 3.0 + SDL 1.2] - Regular Branch (Stable)
- Version 2.5 Experimental [Vice 3.0 + SDL 2.0] - May have some bug due to not a full compatibility between Vice 3 and SDL2.
Welcome to the page of Combian 64
For those of you who don't know what Combian 64 is, i explain you shortly.Combian 64 is Raspberry Pi distribution able to boot your preferite Commodore machine in just few seconds.
It uses the brand new compiled version of Vice 3 to emulate all the Commodore Machines set.
By default, Combian 64 boots the Commodore 64 emulator, but it's not the only one included in the distro....what if you want to emulate a Commodore Vic 20?
Easy answer! ;)
By quitting the emulator (pressing key F8), typing 'menu' command from the shell, you have access to the internal Combian 64 menu which will allow you to change options like: emulator to run at boot, run raspi-config command, reboot your Raspberry Pi, shutdown, or even run again the emulator.
