Wow, that's a long time waiting.

Danke dir! 😀

Thanks a lot.

Every video on RUclips has a video description.

​@@WebFritzithank i stupid but why is the link like that ?

Thank you!

You're welcome. Please stay tuned for the next version v1.1 - which will include a file viewer (text and hex representation). A cartridge version will then be released soon.

Thank you!

Thank you. Version 1.1 with a built-in file viewer is about to be released soon.

First off, GUI64 is not an operating system. It's just a graphical user interface (GUI) which uses the C64 operating system's (KERNAL) functions. Moreover, it will come on cartridge. Unfortunately, we're not "back in the day". ;-)

@@WebFritzi Even the early versions of Windows were just a UI for the DOS system, yet they were still called an operating system, so there's no reason to be modest.

Yes, right now you will have to load it again from disk. Therefore, a cartridge version is in the making. However, you can already use the PRG file from GitHub on your KungFu Flash cartridge if you have one. Then GUI64 will appear after every reboot or reset of the C64 then.

@@WebFritzi Thank you for the answer. I use the Ultimate 2+L and soon on a new Ultimate Elite 2. But i happily wait for a .CRT file in the future. I think what you are doing is great.

Thank you!

I completely agree. In my opinion, the Atari font looks much better than the Commodore font. That's why I use it in all my projects.

Thank you!

Hi there. Thank you, but it's not an OS like GEOS. It's just a graphical user interface for the C64. The OS (the Kernal) remains the same.

@@WebFritzi so if we use this "OS" to load a game , it gets overriden with the game code, right?

@@jerzyzbiaowiezy6249 Exactly

Wow, thank you so much. I followed your project back then and was amazed by what is actually possible on the C64. GUI64 is so much less than TEOS is because it's not an OS and just uses the kernal functions. It's a GUI add-on, if you want. "which has stranded due to lack of motivation" Maybe it was too big of a project. There is so much you have to consider, and at some point it's just tedious work. However, I (and not only me) would be really happy if there was an official first version of TEOS at some point. It's a great project! I am happy that GUI64 is not that extensive. I only have to add some more disk error handling, and then I can publish a first version. The complete code will also be available. If you would like to contribute (e.g., a fast loader for 1541 drives), just let me know. I would be more than happy.

@@WebFritzi , yes it became a bit too big. I am mostly a front-end developer and loved the idea of a char based windows "OS" with some dynamic use of custom characters so that was what I basically prototyped and saw that running multiple tasks was possible by just swapping between calling their code. It has been through a number of rewrites, fixing the mistakes I did before, and I guess the last rewrite where I separated window stuff from tasks burned me out as I was at it for a week every night for hours on end. It was an essential rewrite though as I wanted more reuse to save memory due to the constant copy/paste of code to achieve stuff too (which is ok in a prototype). I then saw that my whole controls system need a rewrite with dynamic loading - basically same as DLLs on windows. I did start on that but that was when I burned out on the project as I could be coding for days and in the end there was no change in how the UX appeared, hence little or nothing to show. Making it into a real OS was after all the hard core stuff, and I had to rewrite all my test applications for any major change I did too - and making those actual apps for it was the fun part meaning that any single one I did increased the work on every change to the core of the OS framework I did. I am hoping to get the motivation to go back and work more on it though, since it was very fun to make and people seemed to enjoy it. I had some quite cool things in the pipeline too which would have been awesome to get working too. The challenge is as always to work within the limited memory that the C64 has and figure smart ways to at least have enough of the heap for the actual apps to run. :) - Best of luck with whatever you do with your GUI64 which already looks excellent and is already useful. I can readily see this on a cart with instant boot into every time you power on the machine, as I had planned with mine.

@@64jcl "I am hoping to get the motivation to go back and work more on it though, since it was very fun to make and people seemed to enjoy it." In fact, we did. Just search for GUI64 on Google. There is a recent Reddit post on it, where people immediately mentioned TEOS in the comments. "I can readily see this on a cart with instant boot into every time you power on the machine" In fact, that's the plan. But for this, I have to dive into cartridge programming with bank switching which will presumably take a while.

"I'm interested as to why you didn't use a drag'n'drop type of setup for transferring files rather than the cut/paste menu mechanic ?" You might wanna guess. ;-) "Why not a double-click kind of mechanism to run a program ?" If you had tried it, you'd know that a double click triggers RUN. You can as well navigate by using the cursor keys and hitting RETURN to run.

@WebFritzi Cool.

Thank you so much.

Thank you!

You can already download a preliminary version here: github.com/WebFritzi/Assembly/blob/main/GUI64/gui64.d64 Concerning the cartridge, I will mosk likely only produce a crt image file for download.

Check c64os. Comparing to this gui, c64os is a complete system with task management and support for many devices (net, storage, etc).

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm trying my best to get to the cartridge part as soon as possible.

Right. The floppy disk sounds rock the floor.

It already works with U64 - at least as a disk image. Later, it will be put on cartridge. Then you have it right from the startup of the C64.

Thank you, Carlos.

Exactly. I plan to put it on a cartridge. You then only have to reset your computer to have GUI64 running again.

@@WebFritzi I already make plans to burn it in a ROM and put it in my c128 :-)

@@stephanepitteloud1849 Are you familiar with this? Well, I am not yet. If you are interested, I could send you the d64 file.

Thank you, Carlos.

First off, thanks for your nice words. As to your questions: 1) Yes. The videos show Vice, emulating a vanilla C64. 2) No. This is already a niche, and C128 in C128 mode is even more so.

GUI64 is not an OS. And as these test windows that you see in this video do not have any controls in them, there is no possibility to type in text. However, as you can see in the following videos of the playlist, edit controls for typing in text have been implemented into GUI64.

@@WebFritzi It could be then. GEOS could, so why not this? When you start to type, it can have a fixed font size. As it is now, it could be a nice demo part in a demo.

@@jmp01a24 I don't understand what you're up to. If you look into the videos GUI64 (7) and GUI64 (8), you'll see that typing in text works.

@WebFritzi what I am up to? Nice attitude. I can see it's a disk utility for the windows. No interface for a notepad function, that I could see. I think this communication goes nowhere, but good luck. BB.

@@jmp01a24 "what I am up to? Nice attitude." Oh, I did not mean to offend you. I just wanted to express that I didn't really understand your words and your intentions.

The "Run" menu item in the Files menu is not yet implemented. I plan to make it also run BASIC programs, yes. Hopefully, in the end, most programs can be run from this menu item - also machine code programs.

@@WebFritzi this is a very good aproach, congrats! They are already many GUI for the C64, but none let you run regular C64 programs Doing it is in my opinion a game changer. I look forward to this!

@@stephanepitteloud1849 "but none let you run regular C64 programs" I think C64 OS does.
