Ehmmm... Went nuts yesterday and bought a package containing some fun stuff.
Got myself.:
C64 ("new model") with orig Box
Commodore Amiga 600 (As new with Box) Soooo white and pretty :-)
C128 with discdrive, cassette, test disc's and and and
So after bragging about my purchase I need to know
How do I load a game on the C64 ? Can't remember at all :-(
Load "",8 ?? Something something something ??
Feeling stupid so asking you guys :-D
-
Oh forgot. Paid 130€ for all of it - like 9.000 US $ at the current rate :-D Haha...

Disk? Then usually load "*",8,1 gets most things going :-) or as below...
LOAD "FILENAME",8 loads a program from the first disk-drive
LOAD"*",8 loads the first file
LOAD"A*",8 loads the first file whose name begins with A
LOAD"A*C",8 loads the first file whose name begins with A and ends with C, with any or no included characters.
LOAD"A?C",8 loads the first file whose name consist of the three letters, where the first letter is A and the last is C. The ? is a wildcard which matches any single char
LOAD "$",8 loads the disk directory
-
Sometimes "run" maybe needed, but LOAD "*",8,1 usually does everything :-)

LOAD"*",8,1 will load the first file on the disk but sometimes the first file isn't a program so in that case the easiest way is to type LOAD"$",8,1, type list and then move the cursor to the program file. type LOAD in front of it, move the cursor to the end of the filename and at ,8,1. Be sure no characters are displayed after the ,8,1 (in case they are remove them by pressing space) and then hit enter. When loaded type run: . The ":" character after run makes the command ignore any characters being after run which is often the case when you load a file from a long list of files. That's how I do it.

I Would Tell You The Answer But You Are Human And Not Of Superior Intellect Like Me...
Therefore Until You Are Assimilated Into The System Then The Answer Cannot be Revealed To Your Lowly Sub-Species...

Oi... that guys a fraud... :)
Help... I'm being imitated or somefink.. :eek:

Don't listen to him/ it, it's a ruddy spambot or somefink... :eek:
I'm telling my mummy... :cry:

You could always do a shift+run/stop which is a shortcut to load from tape, if you have the datasette. Doing a simple Load will do the exact same thing.

Shift and runstop to load c64 games :)

Disk? Then usually load "*",8,1 gets most things going :-) or as below...
LOAD "FILENAME",8 loads a program from the first disk-drive
LOAD"*",8 loads the first file
LOAD"A*",8 loads the first file whose name begins with A
LOAD"A*C",8 loads the first file whose name begins with A and ends with C, with any or no included characters.
LOAD"A?C",8 loads the first file whose name consist of the three letters, where the first letter is A and the last is C. The ? is a wildcard which matches any single char
LOAD "$",8 loads the disk directory
These are all correct for the standard 1541 disk drives.
When loading the directory never append the ,1 to the end LOAD"$",8 unless you want to see garbage all over your screen. Once the $ finishes loading, type LIST to show contents.
A little more background, sometimes its difficult to tell if you need to type LOAD"*",8,1 or LOAD"*",8 Most programs need, or are not affected by the ,1 though if you are having problems loading one, try without it, and see what happens. You will certainly have to type RUN once the program finishes loading.
For background reference, the ,8 references the default disk drive number. It is possible to have a drive which has a different number. There were traces to cut on the original 1541 to change its device number. (You had to do this if you wanted to hook two drives to the system.) There were DIP switches on the back of the later 1541 and 1541-II models to change drive number. Most commercial games and programs will be unhappy about trying to load from a drive numbered other than 8, though.
And, an obscure and mostly forgotten shortcut: if you're really lazy, and want to save one keypress, or baffle random people...
L"*",8,1 works just the same as LOAD"*",8,1. Most Commodore commands can be shortened in this form. (First letter, shift second). rU makes run. lI makes list, etc. Plus you get the fun of typing commands with strange looking little Commodore CG (PET ASCII) symbols in them!

What, no Fastloader? Oh well, you can grab a quick nap while programs are loading :).

OHHHH MYYYY GOD !!!
Love my new babies - The guy who I bought them from told me today why they look so good still... They where never used :-D
