Announcing USB Mouse Support & more! Commodore 64U Firmware v1.1 is here! #gaming #retrogaming

Hello, we are very excited to announce the release of firmware version 1. 1 for your Commodore 64 Ultimate. Do note the new versioning system though. We've updated it to avoid confusion as the platform grows. The previous version 3. 147965214 used in early development is now retroactively simplified to one, not two, two is simplified to 1. 0, making this version 1. 1. Using this one may cause problems with other apparently compatible FPGA hardware. So

for a healthy system, only install official Commodore firmware on official Commodore 64 Ultimate hardware. And now, let's talk about what's new with the 64U.

64U. As we move forward, we're helping you move back as we've added a left arrow key support for the C64U keyboard menu navigation to go back one page. Even better, we've added USB mouse support, which should work with most standard mice. Now you can plug it in and start using it with GIOS or other programs that support our squeaky friends. One of the coolest visual updates involves our LEDs. We've introduced music detect mode. This allows your keyboard and case LEDs to stay in your preferred style during normal use, but automatically start jamming out the moment the system detects SID music or game sound effects. Pew pew. Our web interface has received

some productivity boosts. We've added drag and drop support for web SID, PR, and Curt files. Oh, Curt. The Pacig editor is refined with a stop button, an uppercase option, and better — error handling. We also disabled line wrapping and fix some bugs, including a tokenizer issue with data statements, and an HTTPD crash. Oh no. We've implemented several power user fixes. The user port now correctly provides 9V AC and adjusted CIA timing improves fast loader reliability. For you Jify DOS users, turbo mode is now disabled for 1 second after a reset to ensure proper PAL NTSC detection. Connectivity is also more robust. Our Wi-Fi and LAN pages now update their status properly in real time. Plus, we've improved overall stability and ensured that Wi-Fi won't naughtily connect to open access points unless you've set them as known. Finally, our file surge now points to our own comoserf server thanks to the collaboration with the assembly 64 team. This ensures we are only serving software that developers and the demo and sit scene have officially granted Commodore permission to host. You know who you are and thank you. This 1. 1 release is a fantastic step forward in making the Commodore 64 Ultimate more stable and userfriendly. Grab the update at commodore. net/d /d downloads or if you don't have a machine to update, check out the range as that Starlite version is now in stock with no pre-order necessary. Get it while you can. Thanks for watching and welcome to the world of even friendlier version 1. 1 computing.
