Kerberos C64/C128 MIDI Flash Inter ace User's Guide
Kerberos App, the PC/Mac program
With the Kerberos App you can lash programs, EasyFlash images, cartridge D64 disks, read/write
loppy disks, start programs on your C64/C128 without lashing and do some KERNAL and BASIC
hacking.
Installation
Download “kerberos.zip” or Windows or “kerberos.dmg” or Mac. Unpack the archive, connect
your USB MIDI adapter, then start “kerberos.exe” on Windows, or the “kerberos” application
bundle on Mac. First go to the “MIDI con ig and test” page to setup your MIDI inter aces.
“File transfer” page
The idea o this page is that irst you select a ile with “Select ile”. Then you can use “Send PRG
and start, no lash” to start this program on your C64/C128. Or you can select a PRG slot number
and lash it to this slot with “Flash PRG”. This page requires that you connect MIDI-in o Kerberos
to MIDI-out o your USB MIDI adapter. You don't need to connect MIDI-out o Kerberos.
The “PRG start settings” are used when starting or lashing a program to a slot. So you can choose a
di erent MIDI emulation or each slot.
The “Expert PRG settings” are used or KERNAL and BASIC hacking. With the Kerberos cartridge
you can install your own BASIC or KERNAL ROM. First enable the “Expert PRG settings”. Then
you can choose “Custom BASIC” or “Custom KERNAL” (in combination with the HIRAM hack,
which allows a ully transparent implementation o the KERNAL unction, but doesn't work on a
C128). I you lash a program with “Flash PRG” or start a program with “Send PRG and start, no
lash”, these settings will be used.
To install a KERNAL or BASIC, use “Flash BASIC BIN” and “Flash KERNAL BIN”. For ast
turnaround testing while developing your own ROMs, you can use “Custom BASIC rom RAM” or
“Custom KERNAL rom RAM” instead o “Custom BASIC” and “Custom KERNAL”. Then you
can use “Upload BASIC to RAM” and “Upload KERNAL to RAM” to upload your ROMs. Theses
settings are in e ect then or the start and lash buttons, and or the “Back to BASIC” button, i you
want to test some BASIC extensions.
“Disk tools” page
On this page are some utilities to trans er D64 iles to a loppy disk or to one o the two internal
cartridge disks, or read a loppy disk or a cartridge disk and save it to a D64 ile on your PC or Mac.
This page requires that you connect both, MIDI-in o Kerberos to MIDI-out o your USB MIDI
adapter, and MIDI-out o Kerberos to MIDI-in o your USB MIDI adapter.
Trans er a D64 ile to a loppy disk: First open a D64 ile with “Open D64 ile” on the le t side.
Then choose “IEC drive 8” (or 9..11) on the right side and then click “Upload D64”. Same or
uploading to Cartridge disk 1 or 2.
Download a loppy disk or Cartridge disk to a D64 ile: First select the drive on the right side, and
click “Read directory” to see what's on the disk. The click “Download D64”. The application will
prompt you to enter a D64 ilename to which the content o the disk is then saved.
