[edit] Installation

Simply copy the FrodoDingoo directory somewhere on your filesystem in the local folder and run the executable.

To launch it with dmenu use this in your dmenu.cfg (adjust your folders accordingly):

    MenuItem Frodo
	{
		Icon = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo/commodore.png"
		Name = " Frodo"
		Executable = "./dingoo64.sh"
		WorkDir = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo"
		Selector = yes 
	}

	MenuItem FrodoPC
	{
		Icon = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo/commodore.png"
		Name = " FrodoPC"
		Executable = "./dingoo64PC.sh"
		WorkDir = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo"
		Selector = yes 
	}
	
	MenuItem FrodoSC
	{
		Icon = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo/commodore.png"
		Name = " FrodoSC"
		Executable = "./dingoo64SC.sh"
		WorkDir = "/usr/local/emulators/FrodoDingoo"
		Selector = yes 
	}

Put zipped .d64 files in the 64diskimages folder ( leave the Foo1.d64 file in this folder alone and don't try to select it as it's a placeholder for the application you are about to run)

[edit] Versions

• Frodo - Fastest , Least Compatible
• FrodoPC - Fast, Less Compatible (works great for impossible mission)
• FrodoSC - SLOOOW, most Compatible

[edit] Controls

In dmenu you navigate to the 64diskimages folder and select your .zip file containing the .d64 file (a very common format on the internet)

In a short while you should see the blinking cursor of the commodore c64 (yeh!)

Hold Down L and press SELECT and you should hopefully have started your game/app

• Dpad and button A = joystick
• START = Virtual Keyboard (just the basics for now)
• R = Quit

[edit] Notes

Each compatiblity mode is different so if FrodoPC and FrodoSC don't work it doesn't necessarily follow that Frodo won't.

Here is a quick explanation of what the scripts do (if somethings not working).

---

The frodorc file is mapped to a file called Foo1.d64 in the diskimages folder. The dingoo scripts unzip your selected zip and overite the Foo1.d64 file with the contents of it.
