Bucko’s Image On A Stick is no longer available. Bucko has decided to discontinue the Image On A Stick due to various systems seem to misconfigure VICE emulator causing Image to have some configuration issues that lead to BBS crashes. This is no fault of VICE or IMAGE it is just two environments that have so many possible configurations that are effected by so many factors of each persons system. You can still download Image 2.0 and Image 3.0 located under Downloads under BBS Software. These are basically the same thing just not preconfigured and bundled with VICE, you will need to download VICE separately. We also now have the Image BBS Software message board where you can find and post support questions. |
Here is Commodore’s Image BBS v2.0 on a stick! Bucko of “The Wrong Number ][” has made it so you can copy this version of Image BBS v2.0 to a USB stick that is ready to run under WinVice emulation! Before you know it you will have a fully working Image BBS up and accepting calls through Telnet!
You can view the full story behind “Image BBS 64 version 2.0!!” here.
hello all
this is the Graveyard Keeper from Graveyard Shift BBS long time ago miss the image 1.2a network glad to see you all still around.
In the coming months, there will be an update to the BBS on a stick. Actually, 2 updates. First one will give 2.0 the long awaited 19.2k swiftlink emulation, and second there will be a Image BBS v3.0 BBS on a stick when v3.0 is released.. Good things are happening in the Image BBS world..
Great news! It is awesome to hear things are moving forward!
i tried that, too says “device not present” even though i mounted them
load error in 3112
Line 3112 appears in nearly every +. file. More information would be helpful. What were you trying to do when the load error occurred? What filename appeared to the right of the “Area” line on the sysop screen?
This is a Screenshot
as you can see is doesn;t even load to a sysop screen
Ok I followed the video, now it won’t accept any connections, i even opened port 6400 on my router
At that point, line 3112 of the “im” file is trying to load the file “e.printmodes”. If it cannot find it, there will be a load error. Make sure you copy the file “e.printmodes” to the device and drive that you defined as your etcetera drive during setup.
it worked.
new Issue:
after I log in with “INSTANT MODE” I enter “IM” in the main prompt. it says “Unknown Command.” im following the guide to a “T”.
Copy the file “e.ecs.main” to the etcetera drive. In fact, please ensure that all the e. files from the IMAGE2.0 R3.1 D2.D81 disk are on your etc drive and all the s. files are on your system drive. The “nm.times” file should go on your mail drive.
There is no .d81 disk.
That’s why I skipped all that.
Are you using the bbs on a stick?
I think I know what your problem is now. If you’re using the bbs on a stick, after unzipping the file, copy the image20stk folder to the root directory of your C drive and then double click the runme.bat file contained in that folder on your C drive.
yes bbs on a stick
I just about Give up!
i moved everythng to the Root (c) I watched this: Image BBS v2.0 Configuration – YouTube
when i make a sub board, Drive 10 will NOT save! it reverts back to drive 0, The SIGS will NOT save. im not worried about upgrading to 1.3 right now, i just want this to run properly.
yes i am using bbs on a stuck
I’s ok, you’re making progress. Possibly the reason the device did not save is because you did not assign an access level. Entering 1023 will include all access groups or you could enter a ? for the access level and the BBS will allow you to select which access groups to include and it will calculate the correct number based on your yes/no responses to the groups it displays.. For the remaining items in the Sub configuration, enter 1 for SubOp, 10 for Device, 0 for Drive and leave items 6 through 9 as their default setting. After you quit… Read more »
Thank you for all your help it works great
You are welcome. Always happy to help whenever I can.

Larry and Al are awesome when it comes to support for anything Image BBS!
Image 3.0 is super sweet, I think you are going to really enjoy it!
#1 I’m trying to register in the forums and keep getting “invalid captcha.”
#2 i must be stupid or just don’t know, how do i edit the menus or the prompt? like make a border of PETSCII art around it? what program do i use or what files do i edit?
Michael, sorry about the Message Boards registration there was a major issue with our site security. I think it is cleared up. Give it a try now and post your questions under the Image BBS Software board if you like.
I registered and I’m hoping others will do the same 🙂
