A couple of questions...

  Richiebabee

   So my c64 mini arrived this morning from Amazon, and I have to say I'm
   impressed. The joystick isn't the greatest, but I managed to clear 12
   barrels in the barrel-jumping event on World Games, so I'm ok with it.

   I did have a few questions about loading additional games though.

   1) The usb stick has to be formatted to FAT32, I read. Does that include
   ExFAT, because I'm using windows 10, and not sure if it will format back
   to FAT32.
   2) Does it have to be .d64 files, or will files listed as .g64 work as
   well?

   Thanks

   I don't know if ExFAT works, because I did not had that chance to test my
   brand new C64 Mini yet.
   However there are still some ways in Windows 10 to format as Fat32.

   Option 1: Use the command prompt to quickformat your USB-drive.
   1) Hit the Windows startbutton and type: CMD and hit ENTER.
   2) Type the following command: format /FS:FAT32 /Q X: (Replace X with the
   drive letter of your USB-stick) and hit ENTER.

   Option 2: Download a free tool to format drives (use google) if you don't
   feeling comfortable using the Command Prompt.

   I think only .d64 files work at the moment, but an update to the
   fileloader was already announced by RetroGames LTD, so maybe they will
   load in the future.
