Setting the Python Script Path in Blender
- Hits: 21367
If you find that Blender's File Import or Export menu items only show a few "import" or "export" options, it likely means Blender doesn't have a valid file path that tells it where to locate the Python scripts that include file translators. This sometimes happens when you update Blender and use the default Python scripts path in the Windows version of the Blender installer.
Transferring Commodore 64 Disks to Modern Formats
- Hits: 8942
This is a description of how I was able to convert over 200 Commodore 64 1541 floppy disks to a number of .D64 archive files, readable with any of the modern C64 emulators.
In case you don't already know, a D64 file is a bit-for-bit copy of the entire contents of a Commodore 1541 5.25" floppy disk, saved as a single .D64 archive. In the early 1980s I had invested a considerable number of hours of my life creating various files on my Commodore 64 computer, including programs, music, stories, and even a screenplay. I decided that I wanted my old computer work to be archived before it was gone forever, so I resurrected the files from their 8-bit tomb. After some painful days, and a bit (byte?) or two of blood, sweat, and solder, I can once again work with my ancient C64 files.
