GEOS 128 was my total love for Commodore No one could touch it as my son and I set up 128 3 drive 1581 x2 with REU 1571 in 1988. 200 computers mostly Amigas in our Commodore club and we blew their minds!!!!!!!! Ramstein AB Ger club those were so great!
Wow, yes, I have such fond memories of my C128 back in the mid 80's. Especial the 3 1/2'' 1581 drive. Although, I never used GEOS 128, was wondering were there any hardware addons which included a RTC clock?
No problem, This is a truly superb core and one I will be sure to keep an eye on, hopefully it will get some more updates as its so close to being finished
That's really impressive. IIRC, when the C-128 powers up, the Z-80 is in charge; maybe they needed to do enough Z-80 support for booting up that they figured full CP/M support might as well come in, too.
100% the z80 does indeed manage the system at boot, what impressed me most with this core ( and I guess others ) is how nice it *feels* to use, I know it sounds strange but it's quite easy to forget it's not a real machine when you're using it
I totally get you when you say it «feels» like the real thing. You must have tried it to understand. I will however like to differentiate a little more between emulation and fpga implementations than what you are describing, but that’s for another time. If I remember correctly, the MiSTer way of ejecting a disk is to go into the disk select menu and press the backspace key. Thanks for the video, and keep them coming.
Thanks, I think there is a tosec c128, assembly 64 is a good resource as is indie retro news, there was a handful released back in the day but not so many, been a few recently though

I have never really given geos much of a go, I'm going to source a different image and try that, I'm assuming the georam also helps too

Great video Lee! Love your enthusiasm for C128 :) The core does work great indeed. Cheers!
Thanks for covering this core!!!!

Thank you, I am planning to do some more especially as I have some new mister hardware coming 😀
I had to manually go into geos options using the keyboard to enable the mouse when I ran it in VICE
Nice, will have to try this out and see if it works, weird thing is the pointer does move wilst it's booting
I am pretty sure that was the problem. On my C128 I had to go to the settings and switch from joystick to mouse.
Nice video.
Hey, happy birthday ! 😄
If you go to load something but hit backspace it will eject the disk.
what about dual monitor setup? not switching between them ??
Apparently this is not supported at this time
Nice video, mate. Were there any c128 games back in the day? You seem to have several now. Is there any compilation to download?

Nice video mate ... looks awesome does the 128 core ... have you ever done a Amstrad emulator video ?
I did, have a look and guess how that went lol 😆
