Commodore CASSIOPEI, User Manual

Page: 17 / 76

2.5 File (menu item “File”)
This is simply the currently selected file, or in other words, the file that will be loaded when you
press play (after you typed LOAD on your CBM computer). This setting needs to be changed when
you have changed the computer model and/or operating mode.
The Cassiopei DOES NOT alphabetically sort the file entries. The files entries are shown in the
same order as they are stored on the filesystem of the SD-card. Folders (a.k.a. sub-directories) are
supported by the Cassiopei therefore you can store your files in a convenient way, making it easier
to find your files.
To keep file selection as simple as possible, the files need to be stored in the correct folders. A
.TAP file for the C64 needs to be stored in the folder C64/TAP. And a .PRG file for the C64 needs
to be stored in the folder C64/PRG. And in these folders you may create new folders. Below the
screen of the file selection.
You may navigate through this menu with the three
buttons next to the display.
“Play”-button moves the cursor up
“Menu”-button select the item under the cursor
“Sett.”-button moves the cursor down
The only way to exit this menu is by selecting a file, if for some reason there are no files stored
onto your SD-card then the only way to exit is by pressing the “Reset”-button on the Cassiopei.
Every .PRG file shown is proceeded by it's start and end address. This way you instantly see the
size of the file. This information is very important for VIC20 users. Because the VIC20 is very
picky regarding it's start address depending on the memory expansion used.
Every folder is indicated by the word “directory” and when selecting this entry the contents of that
folder are shown. The entry “..” moves you back one level in the file tree. Meaning that if you've
entered a directory (going one level higher into the tree) selecting “..” makes you go back again (a
method also used by MS-DOS).
