Pre-release
u64deck v1.8.0 — Public Beta 6
Public Beta 6 completes the Assembly64 workspace improvements introduced in Beta 5.
Assembly64 fixes
- Added a genuine Mount & Run action for D64, D71, D81 and G64 disk images.
The image is mounted in drive A using the selected safety mode, the C64 is reset,
and u64deck entersLOAD"*",8,1followed byRUNafter the configured boot delay. - Numeric Assembly64 category identifiers are now displayed using readable labels,
including Demos instead of1. A built-in canonical map is used as a fallback
when the service's preset metadata does not include numeric identifiers. - Added the Assembly64 Rating column to search results.
- Replaced raw microsecond-precision timestamps with concise values such as
21 Jul 2026, 12:59. The original service value remains available as a tooltip. - Retained the full-height responsive two-pane workspace, selected-release state,
sticky headings, polished empty/error states and safe filename handling from Beta 5.
Documentation
- Moved the source launch instructions to a prominent Quick start section directly
after the README introduction, so the normal unzip →start.bat→ browser →
Select Ultimate… path is visible before contributor build and release material. - Kept the cross-platform Python launch commands and the persistent
config.json
upgrade note together in Quick start.
