Controls
========
Use Kempston joystick unless stated in video to select Keyboard control.

Although most games should be playable with joypad only you may still need to press keys to get a game started or fully enjoy the game. Therefore a USB keyboard is recommended. I use this one: http://coinopsproject.freeforums.org/new-wireless-usb-keyboard-recommendation-t4614.html 

USB adapters can be bought from Pipmick: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/pipmick/m.html?item=171728665758

Games like Elite can now be effectively played with the joypad so that only engaging the docking computer and trading will require keyboard usage.

Background
==========
This pack has taken almost 4 years to put together. It's based on a number of packs I put together previously, but now with extra testing, extra configuration, better videos, better everything.

Deus Ex Machine MP3 files
=========================
The music for this game is included in MP3 format.

Thanks
======

Thanks to
-EmperorB10S for creating the wonderful marquees
-Pipmick for creating the incredible configuration spreadsheet
-ToniHC for providing access to HQ videos
-BP for providing the best emulation frontend available anywhere, and for patiently helping resolve the "savesbackup" issue.

I started this pack in Christmas 2014 by looking over the current supported list and identifying "interesting" games that were not already on the list.  Interesting does not necessarily mean good and rewarding of course, but for me it was important to cover some of the minutiae of C64 games history, and to fill out the back catalogue of most of the major software publishers.

By March 2015 I had finished creating the videos and by April 2015 I had started testing and configuring the games.  By July 2015 I have now finished and have a completed megapack of C64 games that play perfectly from the initial game selection screen.

This pack is available to all those who have access to the CoinOPS FTP site.

A reminder: because of people selling xboxes containing packs I have made in the past, all packs I make now are only available to other people who contribute to the project.  The only people who should profit financially from the sale of games are the original developers and copyright holders.

My Recommended Settings for CoinOPS

A quick run through of the settings I believe are particularly useful in CoinOPS.

You can access these settings from within CoinOPS by pressing Start, and choosing Settings, and then enabling Advanced Settings.

These settings affect how the games look, although I also change settings for the front end GUI these are pretty self explanatory and more down to personal preference, so I won't discuss those in this post.


Video Smoothing: Sharp

This stops any filtering of the image and gives a sharp pixel look.  Personally I prefer this over the smoothing as it retains the original image better.

The smoothing option will cause some performance issues too.  

Some people will think that smooth looks better, so try both options and see what you prefer.

Aspect Ratio Correction: Enabled

This will set a 4:3 game to show in 4:3, i.e. at the aspect ratio that it was designed for.  If you leave this option disabled then the games will stretch to fill your tv.  At first you may think this looks pretty awesome, but when you play games you know well you will notice things don't look right -games will appear to be too stretched and characters will look a bit fat.  



On the next page are two other important options.

VIDEO Advanced Arcade Aspect Ratio: Scaled

While keeping the correct aspect ratio, if you enable Scaled too then CoinOPS will attempt to fill up any awkward black space left around the game image.  So with the original setting you may have a bit of black space above and below the image, as well as on the left and right sides.  This setting will scale to fill any black space above and below and will look neater, while preserving pretty much how the game will look.  Hardcore arcade enthusiasts will disagree with this setting, but for play on a large HDTV I prefer this option.  Try it out and see what you think.

VECTOR BEAM Intensity: 1.000000

This will affect the line width of Vector games e.g. Asteroids, Major Havoc, Star Wars, Tempest etc.  The default is 0.750000 which in my opinion is too hard to see on an HDTV.  Even 1.000000 is a little weak in my opinion.  I requested the option to set even thicker lines but this has not proven popular enough to be considered.  If you look at an original Tempest arcade machine display and then look at CoinOPS emulation, you'll see what I mean.
