1541 U II+ ( REU disabled starting .crt images ) #27

Closed ciccior2003 closed 3 years ago

I have tested that starting ( without flashing ) any type of .crt the REU go off. To renable the Reu when the .crt image is runing it is possible changing any settings in sub-menu ( C64 AND CARTRIDGE SETTINGS ) for example changing the "cpu adds valid after phi2" ( saving or not new settings ). It would be perfect if the REU stayed on starting .crt images.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but is that a thing for real machines? The REU is a cartridge (Virtual or otherwise), and you're attempting to load another cartridge on top of that. I know there were cartridge expanders, but you could only have one cartridge selected at a time.

VICE as well as some physical expanders allow the simultaneous use of multiple cartridges (under certain conditions, and with various issues likely depending on the setup).

See (for example): https://www.hackup.net/2018/06/c64-expansion-port-expander-research/ https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/vice_7.html#SEC107 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/12450/which-cartridges-were-typically-used-together-on-commodore-64-systems https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71988&sid=2a69fa6552d7435eab2f0bd45cbab1af

Certainly it would be better to have this feature request on gideon's github. But anyway, Gideon is planing to rewrite cartridge handling in one of the next versions. In the old implementation I am quite sure we both say: Won't fix.

For the announced rewrite of cartridge handling, that should be tested again.

I gave seen you've posted this issue on Gideon's github. So closing it here.
