C64 Dreams V0.60 Hotfix Note: 6/5/2023 added hotfix update. Place this in the base folder (next to Launchbox.exe) and extract/merge/overwrite. Make sure Launchbox isn't running at the time. This makes the following changes: - Corrected joystick port mapping for players 2-4 in all games that used 3+ joystick adapters (multitap). Some were correct as-is, others needed adjustments. Games corrected are below: Frogs Hockey Mania Shotgun IK+ Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart's Super Off Road Bugbomber* SNAFU '64 Zatacka *the port mapping has been corrected but it needs to be noted that the joystick controls for ports 3 and 4 don't seem to entirely work - player 3 can't move up and down and player 4 can't use bombs. This has been true in every version of the game I've tested (and I've tested several). I've also tested the emulated Kingsoft adapter (which Bugbomber uses) in Joyride v1.6 and everything worked as expected there which makes me think that there is just something odd/wrong going on with this particular game. - Slightly adjusted aspect ratio for Mega Bezel as it was just a little bit wider than it should have been previously - Made some slight adjustments to brightness and color settings in 4k Mega Bezel presets - Corrected all custom cropping configs so that they now maintain the correct aspect ratio when using the Mega Bezel shader (standard shaders were unaffected). There are 96 games where this is relevant. - Changed Mega Thrusterball's auto-warp value to "Ignore Audio" to bypass load screen (which plays music) - Corrected Barry McGuigan World Championship Boxing and Cloud Kingdoms to use Joystick Port 1 - Added missing notes overlay for Dominion - Updates the Extras plugin so that it will work with newer versions of LB; only relevant if you A) enable updates in the included version of LB or B) import into a separate newer version of LB C64 Dreams is a massive curated collection of C64 games, SID tracks, demoscene, diskmags, and magazines. It's a major labor of love, that's the result of (as of this version) five+ years of my life and literally thousands of hours of work. I would highly encourage you to check out the video here for an overview of the project, feature demonstration, etc. You can also find the script/written guide here . To summarize briefly, it is a collection of 3500 hand-curated games that have all been configured as needed on a game by game basis. Features included are: Per-game joystick port settings Per-game TrueDrive settings Per-game border cropping Smart controls that take advantage of modern controllers Easy disk swapping (via keyboard or controller) Custom per-game notes (toggleable in-game) Manuals on demand (toggleable in-game); with almost 2000 included manuals Extra goodies like custom SID music added to text adventures that ordinarily have none and Zzap!64 review integration directly into the library so that you can right-click on a game in the library and jump straight to its review in Zzap!64, either via the web-reader or with (higher quality) local versions if you have the magazine module installed Have fun!
