Thanks for watching! Since publishing this we found an even easier method! What used to be 6 steps including using HxCFloppyEmulator.exe is now just 3 steps with HxC no longer needed. Best of all, you can browse & add to the floppy directly from Windows File Explorer! Check out the new method here: <a href="https://www.perifractic.com/takeout-shop/1541-mini/">https://www.perifractic.com/takeout-shop/1541-mini/</a><br>Big thanks to Doug Bergen for his help with this.<br>May the nostalgia be with you!<br>Your friend in retro, Perifractic

I watch a lot of retro tech Youtubers, but I believe you have given more love to the C64 mini than anyone else. I don’t even own one!

Whoa, I never knew there was more to Parallax than just flying around and shooting things.

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!

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.
