  • C64OS v1.0 released!

    From Robert Bernardo@rbernardo@iglou.com to comp.sys.cbm on Sun Sep 25 17:15:48 2022
    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.cbm

    Greg Nacu has released C64OS v1.0, his new, text-based operating system for the Commodore 64 with the minimum requirements of a SD2IEC card drive and joystick/mouse.

    https://c64os.com/

    You can use its full-featured File Manager or go into the App Launcher. Over 25 utilities are available! For more information on getting started with C64OS, see

    https://c64os.com/c64os/gettingstarted/#requirements

    You can purchase C64OS in two different packages (bundles). The starter bundle at $59 Canadian (not including postage and any taxes) or the standard bundle at $64 Canadian (not including postage and any taxes). See

    https://c64os.com/c64os/#order

    Whether you buy the starter bundle or the standard bundle, you get the pre-installed C64OS on a SD card and a very well-done, printed User's Guide Supplement, among other items.

    For an up-to-date, comprehensive review of C64OS v1.0, go to Perifractic's Youtube video at

    Ooo, an optional Star Trek theme in C64OS !

    They should have made it for VICE C128 mode. They could have used the
    extra 64 kBytes to speed up the system.

    But it is now sold out so, I guess they are making money on it.

    C64OS gets better and better! Version 1.04 has been released, the Multimedia Release. In this version, there is a new graphics file format called “Commodore Grafix” which has support for metadata, variable frame rate sizes, native/non-native video modes, multi-frame matrix images, including 3D models, panoramas, and animation sequences. There are the new and/or improved Creator Tool and C64 Archiver, and the new SID Preview Utility with a SID Search Service. Finally, the gfx.lib supports character-mode graphics. (Some new features only available with the use of a RAM expander) Whew!
    Check out the more complete descriptions of C64OS v1.04 and short videos of the Multimedia Release at

    It will be nice If it can connect via WIFI MODEM to the Internet, there will

    There are separate term programs for the C64. Or do you mean that there should be a term program built into C64OS?

    Yes I use CCS for connect on an Italian BBS.with my C64C.

    What I mean is that a new OS for the C64 without the capabilities to connect directly online is almost a "closed system".

    Ah, you mean like GEOS had GeoTerm (and now the newer geoCBMTerm).

    This is not an OS, it does replace the old OS. It boots over it. You cannot fire up your C64 and the OS load like it does now. Looks like they have
    a lot of work still to do before it is a C64 Operating System.

    That's still pretty good. I watched a couple of the videos like the nerd
    I am.

    Got my emulator running now and I think I may even haul out the hardware
    soon. We're just re-arranging the apartment so my father in law can move
    in and once I know what space I have left...
