#22 Carriage Return in c64/128 Mode

[tweak]

Hi. Oderus here from Reign Of Fire. I noticed that when in C64 or 128 mode, while trying to make an account on reign of fire 3 (rof.cnet128.com:6502) that I cannot enter my real name when creating an account. Spitfire says it is sending an extra carriage return at the beginning of the line when I have not pressed it. If you could take a look at it, it would be much appreciated. It does work just fine in ANSI mode.

Thank You!

It's likely that the system does not actually support the telnet protocol (which requires CR LF to be sent). Try setting the connection to raw mode instead of telnet.

Presumed resolved by setting raw mode.

In the build I compiled from latest source, I have to have Caps Lock on when using C64 or C128 modes (carriage return is sent differently with caps lock) as if it's reverse from the intended function. On a real C64, when in "ascii" mode, everything is uppercase. In Syncterm without capslock on, same thing.

In C64 mode, you need to use a C64 ASCII 1963 font. If you use an ASCII 1968 font such as CP437, you'll find that characters are incorrect.
