I have just gotton hold of CCS64 and all is well except that when it wants a
disk change i.e.: insert Disk 2
I can not get it to go any further which is v. disappointing because I have
not played Summer Games II for years and was chuffed to get the chance
again. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

In CCS64...just hit F10...Load Program...and press return on the second side of
the disk...DO NOT continue pressing return...Once you have hit return ONCE on
the second side after Load Program...use the back arrow key to go back to
original menu and press return on CONTINUE....You now have the second side in
your disk drive so to speak.

If you downloaded CCS64 from the web, there`s in 99.9 % a file called
"ccs64faq.html". This document also explains how to change disks!

In case you don`t have it:
"What should I do when the game asks me to "Insert Disk 2"?

Well, you should insert disk 2 into your virtual 1541 diskdrive. When you
started the game you probably "inserted" disk number 1, so the answer lies
in the same menu, where it is probably called "select". In version 1.09 the
disk image (probably with .D64 extension) is selected as soon as you look at
its contents.

Sometimes you could have this message repeating - even if you have selected
the correct disk image in CCS64. This is most probably because the normal
kind of format for disk images, .D64, doesn't contain all information that
is on a real 1541 disk. There are quite many programs for C64 that check for
this information to detect whether the correct disk in inserted or not. In
this case search the Internet for a better disk image, that either contains
the missing information, or where the program check functions are fixed.

It could also be the case that you have to little knowledge of the C64 and
its equipment to do a correct decision. In this case there are a lot of
litterature available at the Internet, search for "Project 64"."

You mean F9. Also, hitting Esc works faster than repeated left-arrowing,
because it jumps right back to the game screen.

Tis easy ..just hit F9 and highlight device 8 and insert side 2 just like you
did side one...only select."select disk" from the menu at the bottom instead of
load or run disk...

I was searching for some commodore 64 game with horse. Found hillsfire but I think it's not the one I search. Anyway I didn't know how to insert second disk and found this topic that helped me BUT OMG this was discussed 16 years ago O.O
At that time I was still playing my original commodore 64, had no pc and didn't know internet exist.
