C=64 RETROTERM - 57600 BAUD works!

Unread post by bbond007 »

This is pretty amazing...

This terminal program streams audio (PCM & SID), Images, and does loads of stuff I have not even tried yet...

Anyway, I made a video of this amazing software showing it running on MiSTer C=64 core:

For some reason I have to exit the terminal and restart it before it works (as shown).

Tanks to Discord user @TO for letting me know they got it working. When I first heard about this project I had serious doubts the current CIA emulation of core could work at 57600 BAUD.

Can't get any text to type on the screen after escape and restarting the program. Disable Jiffydos maybe?
Any help?

What I found:
In the Mister C64 Menu, go to "Hardware", set the "Expansion" to "RS232", "RS232 Connection" to "Internal", "RS232 mode" to "VIC-1011" and save it.
Set Uart Mode to Modem / Link TCP Baud 57600. Reset UART connection and save modem config
In the Mister C64 Menu, go to Audio&Video, Set both SIDs to 6581, Right SID Port same, video PAL - for the time of testing seems to work best
Load RetroTerm prg and ATDT your way to lu8fjh-c64.ddns.net:6402 to enjoy SIDs/PCM files and even Internet Radio (PCM 11kHz) streamed online on C64 core

Then take the below file and put it in media/fat/linux

after that, I can type in retroterm and i can dial the bbs with atdtrbbs

Here is an updated version of turbo56k bbs, but only half of them work and they offer mainly the same.

Show list with "atdir"
dial with "atxxxxx" where xxxxx is the name.

Seems that "RS232 mode" can be either "VIC-1011" or "UP9600" and it works both ways.

Also resetting the UART after changing the speed is optional. The only caveat (if you don't) is it will report "CONNECT 2400" (or whatever the initial speed was) upon connect. This is because the "mlinkutil" program changes the speed of /dev/ttyS1 in the background and midilink is unaware of this change.

I did reset it in my video to avoid confusion, but its unnecessary...
