C64 BASIC ROM replacement?   Message List

Re: [synthcart] C64 BASIC ROM replacement?

sorry for the late reply -- I got really backed up on email. I can't
remember exactly what you have to do to get it to work, but it won't
work by burning the PRG.

below is a link to an older version that I think should work.

I had bad luck using the BASIC ROM method because it was too fragile.
It was too easy for the socket adapter to come a little loose from the
socket, especially when traveling. I got one of those adapters that
lets you use two cartridges at once to use the Cynthcart and SID
Symphony for stereo.
