Where can I download the Commander x16 manual?

[dario144]

I recently downloaded the emulator but have no idea what the commands are. Is there a manual in pdf?

Best place to find up to date information is:
https://github.com/X16Community/x16-docs

For a manual, have a look at:
https://github.com/X16Community/x16-user-guide

Other than that, the Commander X16 is compatible with Commodore 64 BASIC

thnx!!

Commands like "screen n" which controls character size, is a X16 exclusive command. By luck, I stumbled onto it. It's not a C64 command. It is a list those types of x16 commands I am looking for.

Then you are most likely looking for this:

if I wanted to load a file in my HDD, what would I type?

Well, yes and no. It does change the character size, but only to fit the configuration of the selected screen. You can't arbitrarily change sizes on the same screen.

I usually go to the directory where the file I want to load is and start the emulator from there:
windows:
cd \path\to\my\game\or\program
c:\path\to\emulator\x16emu -prg the-program-i-want-to-run.prg
linux:
cd /path/to/my/game/or/program
/path/to/emulator/x16emu -prg the-program-i-want-to-run.prg

You can also start the emulator without the -prg option and then use:
DOS"$
or
LOAD"$"
LIST

In order for DOS and LOAD/LIST to be useful, your program usually have to be saved with only CAPITAL letters

If you're using the latest ROM version (R44), the directory listing will be case-converted... I'm not sure if that's universal or if it's only a feature on the emulator, and if it's the latter, if it's specific to which OS and/or filesystem you're using.
