Command to load C64 program on disk

RetroArch General
#1

Hello everyone,

I’m a beginner in the world of emulation, I started with Launchbox to prepare a birthday present.

Everything works fine, but I’m having trouble with some Commodore 64 games.

In Launchbox I use Retroarch and Vice for C64 emulation.

I use everything by default and the games start without a problem with LOAD “*”,8,1 then RUN. It’s all automatic.

For games where you need to run a specific program that doesn’t match “*”, I have no idea how to do it.

I’ve tried command line statements, but nothing works. I’m not sure what the right place is or what the right syntax is. I’ve tried the command to load a specific program from the libretro playlist command line without success.

So I’m trying to figure out how to run a specific program for certain games.

For example, on the “gamec64.D64” disk, I want to run the following command: LOAD “PACER”,8,1 then RUN.

Could you help me with this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

  1. Create a text file and name it the same as the game name gamec64
  2. Open the text file and type gamec64.D64:pacer
  3. Change the extension of the .txt file to .m3u
  4. The game file and the m3u file must be in the same place. I personally create a separate folder for them with the same name as the game name.
  5. Open the m3u file with retroarch Vice, or add it to the C64 games list.
