C64 OS v1.07 has landed, and the big headline is clear: networking support is finally here. For Commodore 64 owners who’ve wanted their machine to do more than sit pretty on a shelf, this release opens up new possibilities. It’s not just a small tweak—it’s a practical step forward for anyone using a real C64 with modern peripherals.
Since its original v1.0 release in 2022, C64 OS has quietly evolved. Version 1.07 isn’t just another update—it consolidates every improvement, bug fix, and feature added over the last seven free updates. That means Fast App Switching, hidden files, Help and Memo utilities, and even MiniEdit are all baked in and ready to go on the updated System Card.
For those who prefer a tangible copy, the physical release has been refreshed too. The printed User’s Guide is now longer and more refined, with better documentation for networking and new applications. The new Extended Bundle even includes Eliza for C64 OS and a Desktop Designer app for more flexible customization.
C64 OS v1.07 makes better use of the Commodore 64’s hardware, especially with expansions. The new networking features take advantage of modern C64-compatible network interfaces, giving users real utility from their machines—whether that’s transferring files, accessing online services, or just exploring the capabilities of their setup in a more connected way.
The developer encourages new users to support the project by ordering the latest release. With every copy comes a fully-preloaded System Card and tools that make the OS more than just a curiosity. It’s software meant to be used—and it’s ready to take full advantage of the C64’s quirks and strengths.
