Nice! Amazing how many work arounds you have come up with to turn a USB Floppy Drive to be usable for THEC64. It's all good stuff and its nice to see the C64 is still alive and well.
I bought the exact same floppy drive last month -- the last one my computer shoppe had in stock. I may turn it into a mini Atari SF-354 since I bought it to transfer files to my Atari TT030 workstation until my SD drive arrives. Great job on the decal, puns, lens flare, and info!
This channel just gets better and better. I look forward to your episodes every week. The amount of effort and attention to detail in these videos is insane. Time to become a Patreon I think!
this sparked me to investigate if I could do the same with an old Iomega USB Zip Drive. I was able to find my old USB Zip Drive... it was in a box with 2 old Iomega Jazz SCSI drives and an old Parallel Zip drive!! Found a box of fifteen 100mb zip disks in a different box. Plugged it into a Win 10 machine and it recognized right of way it was a USB Zip drive. Stuck a disk into it and it spun up (forgot how loud these were). The disk was already formatted as FAT, so I formatted it again to clean the crap I had on the disk off and then copied some D64 images over to it. Turned theC64 Maxi on and then plugged the Zip drive in and waited about 10 seconds and it did show up like it was a flash drive. Loaded a couple games and they all worked. THX for the inspiration, always enjoy your videos
You're indeed getting better and better. This sticker might not seem much to some people but it's a very nice attention to details. Just seeing your video makes me want to buy "The C64" and a matching floppy. Now, I can't decide if I want a Pi400 more than "The C64".... arrrgh!

I am working on a Commodore SX-64 "Micro" project out of a converted portable TV from the mid-80s. In the process, I figured out how to format the floppy disks natively in Linux. 1. Plug in the USB floppy drive (with disk inserted) and unmount it if it auto-mounts 2. Open up a terminal window and determine the device name of your floppy drive by running "lsblk" 3. Run the command "sudo mkfs.fat -F 12 -n C64 --mbr=y /dev/sdX" being sure to swap "/dev/sdX" with the name of your floppy device (i.e. /dev/sdb) The "--mbr=y" was the missing link. It won't work without that. Have fun Linux users!
I believe so, they still use it for paint mixing. It's fun to be able to take some random object like a hearing aid, and copy that exact shade of beige and use it to paint your house.
You could spray-paint the drive. Then apply a sticker for the rainbow and the Commodore logo. On ebay there are some Poland-made stickers, pretty much like the originals and very cheap.
I used to love playing Parallax. It was one of my favorite games, although I was never able to get past level 2 or 3 (the part where you have to get perfectly through that corridor of crushers to transition to the next level). It’s been so long since I’ve played it I can hardly remember how! Always loved the music, too. So much music packed into only a few K of code!
7:33 Man, I loved those clear/translucent floppies from circa '96 7:44 LOL!!! 13:25 Commodoro! It's the rare Spanish variant of the 1541 mini, manufactured in La Mancha. One warning: Don't get it near a windmill.
@@plan7a I noticed the 3D printed one with the normal 1. I've just searched on Google and can only find pictures of the 1541 with the different 2nd one. Is this going to be one of those Mandela effect things?
brilliant, thanks Peri for providing this. I bought a USB floppy on the strength of your previous video, and this is the icing on the cake :) Coincidentally, I though I was the only person that said "co inky dink" :)
It's already in PNG. Adding multiple formats adds some complexity and I find it best to keep it simple on the webpage rather than bombard users with options. But if you open it in PhotoShop you should be able to make any tweaks you need using some creative editing ;-)
Awesome job, just wondering i have linux system that i have setup as a dedicated Commodore System, just wondering if these drives are able to read C64 disks out of the box or is there something in Linux i would have to do first?
I have a commodore 64 and a box of large size diskettes. I was wondering if you knew of a way that I could read the disks and transfer files on them to windows?
Super! Thanks! Next step: run roms directly to the smartphone usin it as usb storage drive: did someone try that! The C64s recognize it? If not some firmware update/hack might be required?
People who love retro computing should definitely install Linux as their main operating system. It's just amazing and it returns the fun to computing, it allows total freedom, security, privacy and doesn't require maintenance pretty much at all. Actually everybody should install Linux. It also develops better and better, as it's the biggest software project on earth. It requires learning a little bit, but anybody can get it to work and use the basic browsers, office etc. and Windows will force you to learn new things as well. It will change, it will essentially force updates etc. I have been using Windows since 3.1, Linux since 2002, but my main machine was Windows until 2016. After that I have been using only Linux on all of my machines. It has brought life to old laptops. My parents still use their 2007 year single core 32bit CPU 1GB RAM laptops. As the OS only uses 300mb, there's 700mb for the softwares, and Firefox nowadays is really efficient. Thus they can watch TH-cam and other Internet videos, and of course everything else on the web, and Office + tools they need. Because the displays of those old laptops were the best at that era, they intend to use those laptops until they break. Before they needed my help regularly. Now it's been 3 years without any need for help. That's the beauty of no maintenance and stability.
@@minecraftWithDanielD High end developer support? What do you mean by that? But Lenovo, System76 or some other 100% supported Linux and you get really good support. Perhaps do some research on the subject, and if that doesn't interest you, then you really are not going to migrate anyway. And in that case your comment is kind of...
Juzu Juzu You opened yourself up to this kind of argument when you claimed everyone should move over to Linux. When I talk about high end developer support, I refer to the lack of professional level software on these systems. And I did do my research and found that software I need for my industry, is not, and will not be available on Linux simply because of the variation of builds and because Linux has a low marketshare. Alternatives to said software won’t always cut it either, and that’s because an industry standard exists for a reason. Moreover, it’s not always as simple as one makes it out to be. I’ve bricked a personal Linux system just by trying to perform a system update, had another one where the OS broke down, literally every single time I turned the machine off, and I had to keep reimaging it’s storage drive. And when I did have Linux working, I kept finding parts of it, I simply didn’t like and worked against me. I don’t discredit Linux, but it’s not the perfect OS, far from it, and with how broadly computers are used for different tasks, I believe it’s not the greatest claim that “everybody should install Linux”
FWIW, what Linux, OS X, and to a lesser extent Android are all related to is BSD UNIX... although the typical “top half” of a Linux distro has GNU work-alikes instead of a pure BSD-derived setup; and with the exception of Linux and Android (which uses the Linux kernel) the kernels are all different.
I would dissasemble the drive, then paint it beige with some scotch to not-paint the "air vents" from the floppy drive. The just do a transparent sticker with the rainbow and 154I micro label.
This is great news that the fully featured C64 is on schedule for the Holiday season, as promised. And then... there's that joystick that comes with it. Of course, they couldn't have improved it. Can check my channel for my tutorial on a DIY for making the thing more durable. Sadly, it won't make it a better joystick. Just one that hopefully can take a bit more of a pounding. I only keep it for that array of special function buttons. In fact, my recommended replacement controller of choice is this USB joy pad that looks like an S-NES controller and is marked iNNEXT. Plug n Play friendly and is a thousand times more durable. Found it on e-bay and I bet it lists elsewhere, too. Or, actually an even better idea is to part out that rubbish stick for the parts inside, build a worthy 3D case and install a quality arcade stick. Something that can take a pounding and last for years. Instead of that thing...that will snap after one harsh session of the Olympic games that comes bundled on it.
Your love of Commodore 64 is obvious. I really like watching these vids. Appt of happy nostalgia from back when I was a kid and had 3 commodities in the house. I had a bread bin 64. My bbs ran on a commie 128 and my mom and dad had a 64c. And all the disk drives... Oh. And the 1520 plotter. THanks for the vids, fellow commie.
Good day. very nice idea. I like watching your channel, you have very good ideas and inspiration. I like this disk drive so much that I'll make it for myself. Thank you very much, I wish you another great ideas. Wish you good luck.
Parallax seemed to be running a little quicker? Well at least the audio seemed it. (Currently writing a parallax clone, so I've heard the music a lot over the past few years, and yeah, it's taking that long to make the clone)
There is one USB device out there I think but it is read only not write. Might work. Honestly easier to buy a 1541. You can always sell it again when done. Good luck!
the reason why its not working on the phone i think if its not been formatted before is there is probably no partition on the disk so its as if the disk isnt there.

Do Home Depot still have a colour (sorry "color") matching service (a device that scans the image/object and produces a RGB value)
I believe so, they still use it for paint mixing. It's fun to be able to take some random object like a hearing aid, and copy that exact shade of beige and use it to paint your house.
I only watched2 seconds of this so far and gave it a big thumbs up... I think it is because I love Puppy Fractic!!! ;)
