The innuendos are back !!!! Wohoo! Was getting worried 😃😃
No innuendo in my videos. You know that! Maybe it slipped in unintentionally?
@@MarkFixesStuff 🤣
I got mine from ebay a few weeks ago and I must say I'm well impressed 👏
And much cheaper the tfw8b version and it came with the USB all Ready soldered in
Looks like an amazing piece of hardware. Another thing I need. Thanks!
It really is! If games are your thing I think it makes the SD2IEC a bit redundant.
Latest 2022 KFF firmware now allows loading of .T64 files too, making this cart even more flexible. :)
Lovely!!!!! Thanks for the info!
Looks like a great device. Something I might get in the future. Great vid.
It’s really good Jason.
that looks a excellent bit of kit, nice upload mate :o)
It really is! Thanks for watching my video.
I don't own one. partly because of the price and partly because my C64 has been packed aay for years, but in my mind, the gold standard for modern C64 add-ons has always been the 1541 Ultimate II.
Yes, if you want absolute timing compatibility then you are right. I think this is a great device for the price though!
@@MarkFixesStuff Yes, I'm sure that fir the price, this is fine for most people. However the 1541 Ultimate II+ offers much more than just cycle accurate floppy emulation, although it has that. It can also emulate a tape drive using a cable to the cassette port. It can act as a RAM expander. It supports EasyFlash cartridge images. It has second SID chip support. Built in SID player. Speaker for playing emulated disk drive sounds during loading. Configurable drive ROM settings. Support for S71 and D81 files, and probably more that I'm not even aware of.
Buck Rogers was the best with the other AD&D games you could transfer the part to the next continuous game.
This device is definatly worth having, and I already own the disk and tape versions :D
I agree.
My cousin makes a good flash cart. ^_^
I was just about to order one of these to review but you beat me to it :) Great video as usual and I like an innuendo - especially when you just stick it in when I’m least expecting it ;)
Hey, don’t let me put you off! Shove it in your port and let me see it!
Thanks for the review... I wish you've also tried some freezer images such as Action Replay, FC III etc...
Great suggestion, but the only problem is that I don't really know what to do with those. It might be better for other guys with that experience to review the more technical c64 side.
Oh my god, save me from the schoolboy double entendres, lol. Makes me feel like I'm reading Zzap!64 circa 1985, heh. In other words, perfectly nostalgic :D
So this has basically eliminated the need for a cassette player or any cassettes at all...would that be correct.?..i have just purchased a commodore 64c from ebay and this seems to eliminate buying cassettes etc.
Yes and the firmware is much improved since this video. github.com/KimJorgensen/KungFuFlash/releases
Does this will work with a c128?
Every cool device, just need to fix my C64 first. Thanks for the review
Thanks for your support Dev! What’s up with your unit?
@@MarkFixesStuff it's an old one I found hiding in a garage, not done a full assessment but I know some of the traces have disintegrated 😕
@@Dev_olution Sounds like a fun and rewarding afternoon!
Barbarian - Palace Software - just do the spinning head chop continuously. I guess you never played Galaxian in the arcade - as it is monotonous - the big thing with Galaxians was that it was one of the first games with multicolored sprites.
Galaxians is a classic! That game is no Galaxians for sure. Have you tried King and Balloon? It runs on Galaxians hardware I’m told.
Can you use this to move .d64 (or any other format) games to a floppy in a real 1541 drive?
Read this: www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76771
Tip: if you got .t64 file, you can extract the .prg file in it and play .t64 games.
What do you use to extract it Gaute?
@@MarkFixesStuff Hi in my excitement i accidentally wrote .tap, where as the where in fact .t64 files, i used DirMaster on those ( just drag in, right click the file and export). would have been interesting to convert .tap to .t64, i found a tool called WAV-PRG it converted the file, but did not include all the data, can only speculate why... would have been interesting tho..
3.58, wait is not safe to use a sega mega drive joypad on c64??
i use it on my amiga never had any issues, i was thinking i could the same on a c64
No, because the Megadrive pad interferes with the way the c64 scans the keyboard. If you plug in a Megadrive controller to a C64 a lot of the keyboard acts freaky. It can also damage the c64 chipset because it can put 5v on the wrong c64 pin.
What percentage of C64 games work with this? I cant find the answer anywhere.
wait this thing doesn't support .t64 files?
It does now! This review was before the firmware that addes that functionality.
github.com/KimJorgensen/KungFuFlash
Great video. I’ve stuck a thumb up.
Thank you mate!!!!!!
How did you get full screen on the tv or is it just a emulator? With them?
Hi Palle. It's my real captured C64, but the "TV" in the video is just a PNG graphic overlay I made so the real footage is just scaled in it duering editing. It is bigger so people can see.
@@MarkFixesStuff Okay thought so,it would be nice to get it streetched out like that.😊
11:38 - I forget the name of that grey side scrolling game?
It's canabalt... Really cool!
can you use it to copy files onto a real floppy drive?
yes you can!!! using KFF as a Bridge, a PC connected by USB with KFF plugged into C64 and a 1541 connected to C64, by C64 side you have to run a program (see developer's GitHub) and by PC side another program that runs over DOS Windows (it's a command line APP).
@@claudioquintanilla1471 It seems you can only copy from a PC to a C-64, but not the other direction. Tested using ef3usb.exe with v1.44 firmware.
Nice bit of kit, if a little unfinished functionality wise. Any benefits over the SD2IEC?
The main thrust of it is cart emulation which it does amazingly well. At the moment there seems to be a new update regularly. Cart emulation for converted games knocks the SD2IEC bandy and the loading is instant whereas the SD2IEC loads in real time.
@@MarkFixesStuff cool, thanks! will check this out, even though my jiffy dos speeds things up a bit, its not instant
@@magicknight8412 I have a bunch of crt files here so let me know if you need them
@Mr GuruYou are wrong... try to do it with Prince of Persia, or SoulForce, Bridley Witch Chronicles, or A Pig Quest among other games that comes only on cartridge.
@Mr Guru you are wrong again... Man!!! If you succeed in dumping and running over sd2iec the game Prince of Persia or Soul Force (upload a video), I'll give you my sincere admiration plus 100 USD... but if you aren't right you must give an apology to me .... plus 100USD... Do you accept the challenge???
Stay inside and play with your Kung Fu Flash, 'cause if you venture outdoors you'll get nobbled by the Kung Flu Fash. I kid, I kid. Stay safe everybody.
Rik? Is that you?
Oh! I played the Dizzy on the speccy. Are the games any good on the c64? I have to try to play them.
Very similar!
@@MarkFixesStuff Thanks mate!
How does it handle multi disk games?
Short answer is that it doesn't, but they seem to be trying to implement that?
As a workaround i did change some multi games from d64 to d81 on mine, with all the files on the same image.
,@@gautelundal9940 how do i do that? Say for Amazon. 4 disks to one?
@@markkrueger9922 DirMaster 😉👍
@@claudioquintanilla1471 Yes!!! DirMaster excellent tool
Will it work or will it FU me?
I wish you would continue uncomfortably long with those jokes.
And then you could say:
lastly: .....
Then naughtily do a couple more
Then you could say "I might take this out in editing"
Then say it anyway with big letters on screen: 'Nope!'
"we try some tools this time, PSYCH!"
I was laughing so hard!
I’m going to steal all these maybe
@@MarkFixesStuff Please do
PAL only though, right?
NTSC firmware is available on the GitHub but it’s a work in progress. The developer seems really fast though.
@@MarkFixesStuff Woo! I accidentally bought one thinking, crap, this is only PAL. I'll have to try this.
@Mr Guru I’m up for that kind of challenge. Maybe I don’t test the NTSC cartridge then. We will see.
Brought one and it’s great. Instead of downloading ROMS one by one, can anyone point me in the direction of a full D64 Romset??
archive.org/details/tosec-20161111-commodore-c64 and there's a box on the right hand side.
Clever bit of kit.
I would love to examine your dirty slot a bit closer matey 😍.
I had to look away when the dirty egg appeared so I lost count ☹️
I literally put that in thinking of you mate. I was chuckling at the time.
A bit gummy around the rear door, shocking... Great vid Mark...
Cheers mate!
Nice review. I noticed some gummy residue at the rear, probably need to get that checked out.
Tastes like... strawberry 🍓
It seems to work in the similar way as cart/disk/tape loading in VICE emulator where you can load content of the disk and tape images displayed as a list. Awesome stuff to get rid of all the clunk and have only C64 on the desk. If you got real Commie it's the first accesory you should get.
Would it support games that need extra ram like Sonic , the recent build for c64??
Looks really good mate. Thanks for the in depth review. Great video... as always!
It's a great device. Hope you are keeping well?
@@MarkFixesStuff Yeah all good thanks mate. I still need to get that Lynx to you at some point lol.
Loving the gummy crew!
They get everywhere!
