Amiga 600

Autopsy:

Description:

  • Country: Usa
  • Most Common: Usa/Europe
  • Rarity: Unrare
  • Year: 1992

from Wikipedia:

The Amiga 600, also known as the A600 (codenamed “June Bug” after a B-52′s song), was a home computer introduced at the CeBIT show in March 1992.

The A600 was the final model of the original A500-esque line based around the Motorola 68000 CPU and the ECS chipset. A notable aspect of the A600 was its small size. Lacking a numeric keypad, the A600 was 14″ long by 9.5″ deep by 3″ high and weighed approximately 6 pounds. AmigaOS 2.0 was included which was generally considered more user-friendly than AmigaOS 1.3.

C64 Codebase back Online!

February 27th, 2009 No comments

c64codebase1From Homepage: There have been some problems with the site (mid february, 2009). Due to some kind of spam robot, the site crashed and was rather badly messed up a few days ago.  All content is still intact though, as far as I understand.

It seems that some of the plugins were abused in some way, so I have been forced to remove the discussion plugin from the site. I think there may also be some problems with access rights, so please let me know if you encounter any kind of trouble.

MultiColor v0.1.1 (Win32/Linux/OSx) released by Skoe

February 26th, 2009 No comments

MultiColourMultiColor 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.

MUCSU-Hires Converter – (C) 2009 Algorithm / Algotech

February 23rd, 2009 No comments

This program converts images to a new c64 graphic format known as MUCSU Hires (MUltiColor Sprite Underlay Hires). It is merely a hiresolution bitmap image with an X expanded multicolor sprite underlay. The Hires underlay variant of this mode has been created before (known as extended hires).

After reading a few forum posts mentioning that the multicolor version of this mode was unrealistic and would provide too many restrictions, I decided to produce this converter to prove that this is not the case as well as wanting to use this particular format for my own production.
