Thank-you for publishing this digital version as my original disk 1 got corrupted. It would be interesting if we could have a Metal Dust world championship or some other competition. I'm currently on level 3 on "Easy" (15 lives per continue). Also, fun fact, to enable the built-in cheat mode, just listen to the music on the title screen for a few minutes, then you have an option that allows up to 99 lives per continue.
Unfortunately TheC64 Mini probably isn't a powerful enough system to emulate a SuperCPU. The full-sized system might be. However, it is unlikely that there will be an official SCPU firmware upgrade or update as Retro Games Limited will probably not want to pay to licence it.
Is this available on the 64 Maxi? I see they are D81 files and these can be played on a normal 64 but that doesn't have the power. Just been reviewed in Zzap64! micro 2023

Can this be played with the Ultimate 64 / Ultimate 64 Elite with the latest kernel that allows 20MHz and RAM up to 16MB?
Unfortunately, no. The Ultimate does not emulate a SuperCPU currently. Only a real SuperCPU or VICE can run Metal Dust to this date.
do you have to buy that jiffy image in otder to play this game?
Yes, you'll need a 1581 JiffyDos image.
It should also use the Kernal loader, and not require JiffyDOS on the drive. Is that correct?
Can this run the turbo chameleons
No, Turbo Chameleon has no SuperCPU core. To date, only a real SuperCPU or VICE can run Metal Dust.
Can this be ran from a C64 Mini?
Hi there,
nope. The C64 Mini is not capable of emulating a SuperCPU. It can be played with Windows or WINE and Vice 3.1+ (Emulator is included).
Thx for the reply, Hopefully they add SuperCPU support in a firmware update! Bought it anyways, game is hard as balls! And amazing, nice work!

That's disappointing but good to have some closure on the matter I suppose!

No, the Maxi cannot emulate a 20Mhz SuperCPU.
