02:22, 1 October 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Techsupport (Created page with "I’ll reiterate I’m not the author of Color 64, whether that be 7.37, 8.0 or 8.1. That said, I’m here to help with what I’ve learned as well as to support my modified build and/or help you get running. I’m easy to locate by jumping over to my website at www.itchybutt.org. I’m not strong suited to the 7.37 build; your best bet is OasisBBS.org for questions there, but if you are dealing with 8.1 or my 8.1.0a, please feel free to reach out to me!")
02:22, 1 October 2025 Admin talk contribs created page 81aupdates (Created page with "I still consider myself a rookie when it comes to the 8.1 code structure…. Just enough to be dangerous. That said, I’ve been working with the code for the last two years and I am slowly gaining steam with successful modifications and several bug corrections that came with 8.0/8.1. The beauty of this product is that we have the freedom to make it truly customized to our liking. It was in this spirit that I’ve spent countless weekend nights up to the crack of d...")
02:20, 1 October 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Configurations (Created page with "The smallest possible system would be two 1541 disk drives, with three disks: Program disk, Boot disk, and system disk (all other file groups). The first drive would be the Program Files, and the drive from which you boot the system. The second drive would have your system disk in it and would be used for all the other file groups (System Files, Public messages, etc.). With larger amounts of space, there are a few guidelines to remember: <ul><li>You should always k...")
22:21, 30 September 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Filestorage (Created page with "Now that you have all your hardware together, it is time to decide how Color 64 will be able to store all its files. The BBS program divides up external storage into "drives" (short for "disk drive"). In these instructions, a drive is a generic term used to refer to any type of external storage. For example, a drive can be a 1541 floppy disk drive, a CMD HD 16-megabyte partition, a 2-megabyte REU, or any other separate and isolated area where files can be stored....")
20:26, 30 September 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Overlays (Created page with "To get the most out of the Commodore 64's limited amount of memory, the BBS program has been divided into several program overlays. All the overlay file names begin with "√bbs." and have a suffix in the form of an alphanumeric. For example: <ul> </ul>")
20:25, 30 September 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Hardware (Created page with "<strong>Hardware Support</strong> This BBS system operates on native hardware (with almost any combination of disk drives to include SD2IEC), emulated hardware like VICE, or newer builds of the Commodore such as Commodore Ultimate Elite II with IEC capability. It operates well with 1581 disk drives (or D81 images), but they are not recommended for any sections of the BBS that require REL file creation (like the system’s PASSWORD file or games that create these types o...")

In the following sections, I will try to describe how to best set up your system with various hardware configurations. Things to remember: Some systems require that special routines be merged into the main overlays and other programs; these routines have been included as separate merges on the i...")

13:24, 30 September 2025 Admin talk contribs created page Introduction (Created page with "<strong> Introduction </strong> Color 64 BBS is a historical juggernaut in the Commodore 64 BBS world with years of development under its belt. It is a marriage of complexity and simplicity that provides powerful features for the system and at the same time, ease of customization to make your system unique. This BBS program is comprised of two parts. The first part is the set of BASIC programs, called Overlays, which are responsible for the operation of the BBS progr...")
