Hello.
So I tried to format a D64 disk but i cannot get it to work.
OPEN 15,8,15,"N0:DISK,01":CLOSE 15
I write this but after a little while the lamp just start flashing on the mister.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Works fine for me.
Have you mounted a (copy) of the "empty.d64" sample file ? However, if you didn't, you would get a "device not present" error.

Happened to me in a real c64: just wait for the format to end
and after that send the "close 15" command
Be sure to download a correct blank .d64 file ->

first:
OPEN 15,8,15,"N0:DISK,01" <-can't remember if it is "N:" or "N0:" try both
then
CLOSE 15

No it didnt work.
I tried to look what is on a disk with the load "$",8,1 command. Then i just get some gibberish at the top of the screen. Then when I type List it does not show anything.

For disk directory you don't use ,8,1
you have to use this command:
LOAD "$",8
LIST

If you use ,8,1 it will load gibberish always.
