How I got my USB stick to load up a game.

  kriss197

   I had the issue where my USB stick could not be read and I couldn't load
   games on this is how I got it to work.

   I typed into my search bar (windows10) file extensions and ticked the box
   saying show hidden files or folders.
   Put the d64 image on the usb stick and it now said eg. Buggyboy.d64, so I
   only deleted the name buggy boy and overtyped THEC64-drive8 and left .d64
   where it was already typed for me.
   My c64 found the usb stick and the Buggy boy file. loaded it up and got it
   to work.
   Hope this helps you as I spent 2 days racking my brains about it.

   Can confirm the method explained by kriss197 works just got ik+
   loaded,worked on the very first memory stick I tried last friday,ill check
   other games throughout the day and let you all know

   perfect

   Noticed that the four save slots on basic are only really good if the game
   is a single load otherwise you need to leave the memory stick in with the
   disk image for accessing multiload even within that one disk image,and
   maybe just change them out for the different games that you choose to load
   for the save states

   I have 3 USB sticks that wont play ball. My fourth, a 16gig Sandisk works
   fine. A lot of the time I was getting readonly or syntax error,, but you
   have to have the correct file extension in any regard.
