Rip Commodore 64 Disks???

[IchigoKurosaki]

How would i go about ripping my old Commodore 64 Disks to play them on the new Commodore 64 Emulator for the PSP?
(Note 1: I don't have a PSP, but i would like to have a back up once i get my PSP back )
(Note 2: Yes, this is Rom disscussion because the raw rip of the disk would be a "ROM")

Also does the new Commodore 64 Emulator allow the Dashboard to run?

actually, wouldnt it be a "disk-image" rather than a rom? but you're right, this is the most relevent place anyway.

if you're just gonna play commerical games-you-own, i'd suggest just hunting the web for them... i
if you want to play stuff you made yourself on your c64, i'd suggest, load your disk on a real c64, save it to tape-form out of the c64 output and into a PC c64 emualator, then re-save to an emualted Disk in that emualtor (a .d64 file isnt it?) and voila - you have your disk file to transfer to the psp.

i'm a speccy man myself, and dont really know about c64s, but this is the technique i'm going to be appliying with my speccy +3 disks once my drive is fixed.... i'm sure it'd work the same with the c64.

Thanks i have a bunch of D&D games for the c64 and would like to try them out, but i don't have a floppy drive in my computer right now and i don't have a c64 (Sadly my school just got rid of one...)
