[RESOLVED] Need Help Starting Commodore 64 Games in Retrobat

Hello everyone,

I hope this post finds you well. I am having a bit of trouble with emulating Commodore 64 games on Retrobat. Specifically, I'm trying to play H.E.R.O., and I seem to be stuck at a screen that asks "Unlimited Lives ??" I've been searching through the FAQ and various other resources, but I've been unable to find a solution.

I'm using an Xbox controller that's plugged in and working fine. I've tested it with other emulators, and it's operating as expected. However, for some reason, I can't seem to progress past this screen in the C64 emulator.

Could anyone provide some insight into the default command inputs for Commodore 64 games in Retrobat? Any advice on how to get past this screen and start the game would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Looking forward to hearing from you. I also cant start other c64 games, they load fine but i just can do any inputs.

Hi,

it's not an emulation problem, just that you don't know how to answer yes or no, take another non-hacked rom and you won't have a problem.

Thank you, i just found out what was going on.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to provide an update on the problem I was facing regarding a specific keyboard command required by the rom I was using for emulation. I was struggling with this issue for some time, not being able to find the specific command to progress further in my game. It was quite the stumbling block.

Fortunately, thanks to some solid advice I received from our forum admin, I've now managed to find a solution. The admin advised me to consider finding and using a different rom, suggesting that there might be an alternative out there that didn't require this elusive keyboard command or at least provided clearer instructions for operation.

I took that advice to heart and started a diligent search for a new rom. It did take a while, but I finally found an alternative rom that is not just compatible but also much more user-friendly. It doesn't require any intricate keyboard commands, which was a huge relief!

This whole experience reinforced the idea that sometimes, if you're struggling too much with a problem, it might be time to consider if there's an entirely different approach you could be taking.

Thanks once again to our helpful admin and this supportive community for guiding me through this predicament. I hope this post might be of help to anyone else who encounters similar issues in the future.

Game on!

Great to know that you managed to make it work like that. Did you find a romset or a specific rom?

Specific rom, had to test many of those Roms for this system are weird.

I see. Thank you for your feedback.
