#FastLoader
Doom64 (2026) by Kweepa for Commodore 64.

The middle chapter of id's trilogy squeezed onto the C64, with height and light changes dithered onto a 40x25 screen. Two builds: one with krill fastloader for stock drives 🕹️

It'd better have a fastloader routine, i don't have the patience to press play on tape and decide what bon mot i was gonna post for 20mins.

"You could store almost anything in any order there. The only rule: The first track was the fastloader."

What I've managed to cobble together just from attempting to search around and find a context - the chip that is being piggybacked there is where the BASIC ROM normally lives. So whatever that mod does, probably modifies BASIC in some way - I'd speculate it's some kind of permanent fastloader?

I drive this EV ( this is not my wife btw), off grid, load my own car with fastloader, heating/aircopump, solar panels, batteries. It was an investment yes. But now:
€35 a month ( taxes).
I know you drive huge cars so this one seem small but it is quite spacious.

And I had all the software too but could not find anyone sufficiently interested to give it all to. The one guy, got Vic 20, Fastloader cartridges, Light Pen, Modem, C64, Various Disk Drives, and Tape Drives, 1801-1803 Monitors? I used them for years for Karaoke at my DJ shows, and for Security Cams

Only light pen I owned.

I gave the light pen away. I had a garage full of Vic 20, C64, Tape Drives, Floppy Drives, Fastloader Cartridges, just about anything that came with them. Another junk collector took them off my hands. Have a large day

What's a fastloader you might ask? Well, back in the day (vic-20, c64) the default tape & disk loading routines were must slower than they needed to be so much software used custom loading routines that we're many times faster.

like all old Accolade-games Action Replay fastloader compatible and not multiload hell 😎

das merkst du nicht unbedingt, die wird nur für Fastloader benötigt. aber ich denke die Platine ist bei mir auch nur ein Montagsgerät. 🤪 deswegen werde ich nachlöten.

Problem with a Pi1541: it won't load with Action Replays fastloader, which works on another Pi1541. Is this maybe a problem with the levelshifters on the PiHat? I think someone mentioned these parts sometimes not being fast enough.

Can't load those 3.5K VIC20 programs and games without a fastloader ROM in the cartridge port... =)

Yeah! Epyx Fastloader Reloaded. Tried with a few disc games on the SD2iec also included and it's worked fine and yeah, loading speed magic in a box 😅

I have a Kung Fu Flash on the way now too for crt/easyflash as there's quite a few games on that format I want to play.

if you’re running from disk why can’t you use a fastloader with overlay sections?

I'm sure there was some music during the fastloader as well - will need to fire it up tomorrow to see if it's still as good as my memory of it

A week to go to the FastLoaders's C64 Rocks Live concert. If you're in the Midlands it's a no-brainer to catch your chance to listen to amazing C64 tunes live. And to meet me and get some free stuff! May your Light be hubbardly Forced!!

Kind of instant access. Some programs (.PRG, .crt) can be uploaded "instantly" to RAM and run, but .d64 images will load at traditional C64 speeds. You can use fastloader ROMS though to speed that up.

My most recent purchases were the USB mouse adapter I mentioned earlier, in the bundle with C64 OS, and an SD2IEC box (cassette port powered), to use regular microSD cards with the C64 like a CMD hard drive, including making partitions and subdirectories, and JiffyDOS fastloader protocol support.
