CBM FileBrowser v1.6 by NBLA000

This program works as a program launcher for Commodore machines. Even if it was originally intended for a device with sd2iec firmware, it works also with any CBM drive (without sd2iec functions of course).

It is a multi-system version derived from the discontinued sd2brwse v.0.6 by Hannu Nuotio (fork() of sdbrowse v.0.7)

The Vic-20 Mega-Cart Installer is based on sys.asm sources of mega-tools by Daniel Kahlin, sort routine by Michael Kircher.

  • C64.
  • C64DTV.
  • Vic-20 unexpanded.
  • Vic-20 +3K RAM.

    In version 1.6 I have a strange problem on the VIC-20: after selecting a folder/disk image, you have to select it again and it is actually selected only the second time. It’s so irritating that I went back to the earlier version… :(
