In his latest video, Josip from Josip Retro Bits tackles an intriguing challenge: What if you want to grab kernel or character set data directly from your Commodore 64, but don’t have any special software handy? Well, Josip has you covered—and the solution is simpler than you might think. All you need is good old-fashioned BASIC!
Josip demonstrates step-by-step how you can easily extract sections of memory from your Commodore 64 and save them to a floppy disk. And here’s a bonus—if you’ve upgraded to modern tech like an SD2IEC device, you can even save your data directly onto an SD card. No complicated setups, no advanced software—just straightforward BASIC commands.
If you’re eager to dive into this practical project, Josip generously provides the exact source code used in his demonstration. You can find and download it directly from his GitHub repository:
