SuperCPU bin file

Thinking something needs to be set in the config.ini file?

So, I got the scpu-dos-1.4.bin file for my vice setup.  I'm currently using BBS on a stick Image 3.0.  Can someone help me to get it to work with the vice/lt.kernal configuration.  I've tried to change load file in the runme file to the xscpu64 version of vice.  Doesn't seem to want to load at that point, so I just end up putting it back to x64sc.  Any help would be great as I would like this upgrade for when I launch my BBS here in another month.

The SuperCPU does NOT work with the Lt Kernal.. You would have to use it with a CMD Hard Drive emulation. The reason the BBS on a Stick uses the Lt Kernal emulated hard drive is because there is no need to purchase a rom to make the hard drive work. 

Hope that helps..

@bucko Ty.  I will pursue the CMD. Bought it at go4retro.  I'll let you know if I need assistance switching the BBS over to it.  Ty.

@thekid Using the CMD emulation in VICE with SuperCPU and RAMLink is wicked fast. One of my BBS' "The Kats Alley" is set that way and fast as heck. Using a CMD/piCMD HD like I do with the c64u to run Image on real hardware for my Commodore64BBS.com is fast but still not as fast as The Kats Alley.  Now recently I have been playing with the RAD's SuperCPU on my c64u w/cmd and it loads a lot faster but there are a few glitches keeping it from working that the Xlar said he will look into. 

Point being, you have a lot of options in what ever direction you want to go. myself I like having it on real hardware but like it was back in the 80s and early 90s when I ran CNet and Image on real hardware you are often having to fix something, a frozen HD, a frozen computer, glitches from power surges, or just stupid random things that require a reboot.  With my Kats Alley on vice, using Bucko's latest telnet server software it just flipping works, he will tell you. Kats Alley has gone weeks with out needing a reboot or anything plus its now at 56k and it gets a good amount of daily callers everyday.

Just my $.02 Pesos. 😉
