Second demo running C128 from a REU RAM disk with an Ultimate II+ cartridge, DeviceManager ROM and the GEOS Ram Boot functionality.
GEOS boots really fast this way.
Now also found a solution for OBS freezing on switching to 60 Hz NTSC that GEOS does on start.
Equipment and software used:
- Commodore 128D
- Ultimate II+ cartridge, running Device Manager ROM latest alpha
- My own DM Boot bootmenu software
- RGB2HDMI to capture C128 80 column mode
- Elgato CamLink 4K
- OBS

I wrote all of my high school papers on GEOS on my Commodore 64 back in the day. It was fantastic! Who could also forget Broderbund's 'The Print Shop' and 'Print Shop Companion' which were absolute staples for creating signs, banners, calendars and invitations! LOL! I always loved the rainbow effect while my creations were being printed. These were the great days of computing!

Loved GEOs on my C64 back in the day. So cool to have a graphic UI

seriously there are two things jumping to mind 1) i’d like to smash the head of the commodore management with a C128d case for not creating a compatible family of computers over the years. they had to make everything “unique” for a quick buck rather than focusing on a long term plan… 2) how frustrating today’s development practices (attitudes) are. we are having vastly more powerful machines and some of the products are nearly as slow as this here - and this was 2mhz and few hundred kb of ram… and 8 bit… data, opcode, bus… thanks for the upload

" we are having vastly more powerful machines and some of the products are nearly as slow as this here" Maybe programmers focus less on optimization having such powerful computers🤔

@mityaboy4639 Год назад

@@pacocarrion7869 exactly my point “we … err… just up the minimum specification to… 5ghz and …. 64gb ram”

The PC of 2005 is now what people have in their mobile device, so technology becomes smaller, but can be done more with it besides entertainment?

Uniqueness is what defined computers in the 80s. Personal computers were evolving quickly and it was a competitive market.

@vcv6560 Год назад

That's the way GEOS should be run, you'd never guess that's 8 bits and 2MHz

Does GEOS128 support more colours than the C64 version on the desktop and in various programs?

@idreamtin8bits Год назад

GEOS128 does not support colours natively very well, just as GEOS64. However it is very well possible to use colours in both, but you have to do everything yourselves. So easy no. That is one of the reasons MegaPatch 3 was made. That one has native colour support. But actually I am working on a GEOS game with colour support. So keep posted.
