-# c64-games-menu
-Game library browser for the Commodore 64 that uses a custom index
+This is a Commodore 64 game browser for SD2IEC or Pi1541 devices.
+
+Description
+
+I wanted something like CBM-FileBrowser for my Commodore 64 game collection
+but preferred to see full descriptions for the games rather than having to
+hunt for cryptic file names in a large directory structure.  My game collection 
+has meta data files that include attributes like year, genre, author, and full 
+description of the game.
+
+I organized the collection under directories with names 'a'-'z' + '0' for 
+games that start with a digit.  I then constructed my index files.  This 
+program reads a custom index file format with each page containing 21
+games, maximum 99 pages per letter. Pages are read into memory fairly quickly
+so you can navigate to a game easily by pressing a letter, paging, scrolling
+and hitting enter.  Once selected, the .d64 disk image is mounted and its
+directory is loaded.  Pressing * instead of ENTER will also mount the disk
+but issue a LOAD "*",8,1 instead of loading the directory.
+
+You will have to make your own index files to use this. See menu.asm for the
+expected format.  This obviously only works on SD2IEC or Pi1541 drives.
+
+For now, only an alphabetical index is supported.
+
+NOTE: Pi1541 doesn't support file browse mode with a fast loader yet.  So trying to
+load anything from the Pi1541 in browse mode hangs.  Hopefully, this will be
+fixed in the future.
+
+Build
+
+The Makefile uses acme cross compiler.  You should be able to use any.
+
+Just type make to get 'menu'
+
+Usage:
+
+LOAD "MENU",8
+RUN
+
+LEFT/RIGHT = MOVE TO NEXT/PREV LETTER
+UP/DOWN    = MOVE TO PREV/NEXT GAME
+SPACE      = NEXT PAGE
+<-         = PREV PAGE
+ENTER      = MOUNT THE .D64 IMAGE AND LOAD DIRECTORY
+*          = MOUNT THE .D64 IMAGE AND LOAD "*",8,1
+
+I've included my index files (but obviously, not the games) as a
+demonstration.  I didn't filter out the .p00 files so ignore those. This
+only works with .d64 files.
