   sams journey is definitely available to buy. although it comes on rom
   format in europe.
   not sure if you can opt for a disk/file version aswell.

   [6]Archon That's because it is. Playing it a lot, these days.

  Archon

   [7]Jammet Do you play it on you´re mini ? I don´t wanna
   spend 20 € and not be able to play it.. Did you get the DLC or another
   version ?

   Someone in the fb group was trying to port Prince of Persia to disk but
   was finding it too problematic. Another person posted some blog entries
   from the guy that wrote the C64 port of PoP, and it explained the need of
   the EasyFlash cartridge, in order to quickly bank in chunks of memory as
   needed.

   I suppose it still might be possible to try use the disk (with the
   fast-loader, making it somewhat instantaneous too), but maybe it's not
   worth all the elbow grease, particularly if the c64 team provide cartridge
   support in future via their menu system.

   I have PoP on D64 and it is indeed problematic. The screen just flashes
   random rooms and will accept no input from keyboard or joystick.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

   I have POP on my Easy Flash 3 good game,if it was put on D64 it would
   probably take maybe 10 D64s images.

   The POP version of D64 was a demo i think showing the games levels.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Parcival

   [8]spannernick1 aah, OK fair enough.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  spannernick1

   Cause each level would have to be loaded in to memory and I don't think
   they would fit anyway,they are to big so there would be a lot of loading
   time.

   I cant even get that easyflash thing to work on an emulator

   [9]Goclastninja EasyFlash CRT's do work on VICE, but please check that
   you're running the latest version of VICE (3.1). I was using VICE the
   other day to play Prince of Persia [10]:) I hope a future firmware upgrade
   for the C64 mini will allow for CRT files, that would open up a lot of
   games...

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  synchromesh

   I have Prince of Persia.CRT running on Vice 2.2 so running it isn't an
   issue even on older versions
   Mini compatibility would be awesome ..
