durexForth v1.2 (Forth language for Commodore 64)

August 9th, 2012 No comments

Forth, the Language.

Forth is a different language. It’s aged and a little weird.
What’s cool about it? It’s a very low-level and minimal language without any automatic memory management. At the same time, it easily scales to become a very high-level and domain-specific language, much like Lisp. Compared to C64 Basic, Forth is more attractive in almost every way.

It is a lot more fast, memory effective and powerful. Compared to C, specifically cc65, the story is a little different. It’s hard to make a fair comparison. Theoretically Forth code can be very memory efficient, and it’s possible to make Forth code that is leaner than C code. But it is also true that cc65 code is generally much faster than Forth code.

Turbo Chameleon 64 beta firmware 7b released

June 28th, 2012 No comments

Turbo Chameleon 64 is an extremely user-friendly cartridge that can be used without opening the computer. It is just plugged to the expansion port of the C64.

The Turbo Chameleon 64 cartridge can also be operated as a stand-alone unit (since it’s basically an FPGA computer like the C-One or the Minimig in a C64 cartridge case), replacing the computer, the floppy drive and the heavy power supply.

When used as a stand-alone unit, a USB power adapter or active USB hub can be used as a power source.

Changelog:

  • fixed REU, transfer length register is 1 after a transfer completes.
  • fixed REU 512K wrap around.
  • fixed cache controller preventing corruption when accessing 0x1FFFF0000 – 0x1FFFFFFFF
  • faster SDRAM controller. More memory bandwidth for turbo.
  • added slowdown modes to the Turbo settings. Offering CPU speeds of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
  • added native updater program (see manual) to update the fpga core without an usb connection.
  • make menu item active when pressing a hotkey, so it is selected when going back to the respective menu.
  • correctly mute/unmute second sid in menu freezer.
  • clockport- and rr-net- items in options menu are correctly disabled if either is not available.
  • if found, load and run update.prg from sd card (chameleon updater)
  • if “boot from sd card” is enabled, load boot.prg from sd card (regular c64 boot program)
  • improved navigation in one panel mode, cursor right enters subdir/image and cursor left goes one level up.
  • improved quickfind, just type a filename quickly to jump to it.
  • mount menu is skipped if there would only be one active item.
  • when returning to the menu from the sid player by pressing left/menu button it will go directly to the filebrowser.
  • added gfx viewer for various multi-color and hires formats.(see manual)
  • added wav player (see manual)
  • added filecopy (F5 in two panel mode, see manual)
  • set $030c-$030e to 0 before starting prgs, increases compatibility with certain packers.
  • .sid files which actually contain a basic program can now be run correctly.
  • re-read destination panel after copying image.

C64 Utility: EasyCLI v0.06

June 14th, 2012 No comments

EasyCLI is a command shell for the Commodore 64 computer. EasyCLI is packaged as an EasyFlash cartridge. This gives EasyCLI the ability to boot the computer and bring the user straight to the shell without having to load and run a program from disk.

EasyCLI comes packaged with several built in commandlets, each of which is it’s own 8K program that is stored in the EasyFlash cartridge and loaded on demand.

Changelog:

  • New command: ECHO – Outputs text following the command.
  • New command: PAUSE – displays prompt and waits for user to input a key.
  • New command: EXEC – Executes a script. Scripts are chains of commands that will be executed in a sequence. Scripts can be chained together by including another EXEC command at the end of the script. This is very useful because the longer a script is the longer it takes to execute the commands in the script since the script must be reloaded after each command, so chaining together small scripts is faster than one big script.
