MultiColor is an image manipulation tool for Commodore 8-bit computers’ graphics formats. It is an old-school painting program for graphicians but not an image converter. Currently VIC-II multicolor bitmap is the only supported image format.
Features:
- Written in C++, so it’s quite fast and no special runtime is required.
- Can be compiled for many platforms, because it uses wxWidgets.
- Can load Koala and Amica, file type is detected independently from file name.
- Behaviour when hitting the color-per-cell-limit can be selected.
- Undo/redo.
- Tools with realtime preview (e.g. Line)
- Basic TV emulation.
- Zoom, with grid at higher zoom factors.

I’m planning to update more often from now on, but bear with me if my time schedule becomes tight again.
Changelog:
- Added Growl notification support.
- Fixed playback on multi-channel sound devices.
- Added detection of sound device change.
- Fixed potential data-loss problem when syncing collection.
- Added fixes to emulation to allow playback of songs such as “Fanta in Space”.
- Fixed error handling when loading a tune from a URL.
- Fixed crash when syncing while spotlight search is in progress.
- Added possibility to select subtune when exporting a song.
- Fixed a case where songs were exported with the wrong length.
- Added option to select fadeout time when exporting songs.
- Playlists can now contain the same file more than once.
- Dragging a playlist item to a different playlist now retains the selected subtune.
- Fixed bug in browser navigation history.
- The “Select Song” submenu now shows all available subtunes.
- Fixed updating of exported file size when changing time.
- Editing smart playlist criteria now immediately updates the smart playlist as you type.
- Playing the next item in a playlist now works correctly in any sort order.
- Changing the sorting of a view keeps the selection intact.
- Pasting a path string into the browser view jumps to that location.
- Removed all traces of Carbon code.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

There will be three competitions: Music, Graphics, Demo.
Your entry should be prevously unreleased material and your own work.
All entries will be released on scene.org/pouet.net under the relevant Creative Commons licence.
A bonus system has been put in place to encourage oldschool & demoscene style productions. The bonuses listed increase the votes for that entry by the specified percentage – ie. +50% means each vote is worth 1.5 for that production, +100% means each vote is worth 2!

Here is a *small* part of the C64 cross tools (10 included in this pack!) I wrote during the past years. I make them public today by releasing the most stable and useful ones. Have a look at the summary for the complete list!
They are Win32 command line tools. Please don’t cry for a conversion for your platform because actually I WILL NOT make any effort in this way. They have been made in C with Visual Studio 6. If you cry very loud I can provide very interested and motivated persons the sources but this is a real mess because there are lots of source files and modules (.obj files).

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64.
Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).
Changelog:
2009-03-08 – release 0.8.0
- Direct sector access of the real storage device
- Ignore DEL files in file_open
- Drive mapper
- EXOS V3 fastloader support
- Requires avr-libc 1.6.x
2009-03-07 – release 0.6.7
- Bugfix: Close previous file if secondary is reused without close
- Bugfix: Minor Jiffy timing fix on EOI

Dtvmkfs build a file system image for flashing into the C64 DTV (v2/v3). The hummer racing game uses a different flash load routine, so the SYS-address needs to be set in a special way for this to work, or a DTV-kernel must be used.
download: dtvmkfs v0.9.1 OSx Source Fixed
Changelog:
0.91 – 2008/12/07
- Fixed bug with incorrect parsing of load-address from PRGs.
- Updated to support %XX-encoded C64names.
- Implemented NOLIST option. C64name starting with $ is still supported for backwards compatibility.
- Directory ($-file) width automatically expanded if file names are too long.
- Added -r option to import raw data.

Executable Image is a perversely over-engineered solution to a very simple problem: how do I convert a Koala image into an executable program? The sane solution would be to fire up an assembler, write about a page of code copying color ram, set up the VIC, and then pucrunch or exomize it to get a sys line.
Scout released a .bat file that does pretty much all that, and it gets the job done. The implementation gave me an itch that I just had to scratch
though.
Executable Image is available for MacOsx / Linux Binary (sources included).

from Wikipedia:
The Commodore 1570 was a 5¼” floppy disk drive for the Commodore 128 home/personal computer. It was a single-sided, 170KB version of the double-sided Commodore 1571, released as a stopgap measure when Commodore International was unable to provide large enough quantities of 1571s due to a shortage of double-sided drive mechanisms.
Like the 1571, it could read and write both GCR and MFM disk formats. The 1570 utilized a 1571 logic board in a cream-colored Commodore 1541 case with a drive mechanism similar to the 1541 except that it was equipped with track zero detection.
