ULoad Model 3 release 1

April 26th, 2009 No comments

ULoad is a loader system I developed for my Ultima gold cracks. This is a cleaned up version of the loader I developed for Ultima 3 Gold, which is a relatively basic 2-bit timed IRQ file loader.

It also allows you to save files, although it’s limited to overwriting existing files and cannot create new files. It supports a wide range of IEC drives, of course works on both PAL and NTSC, and also supports SuperCPU and DTV2 running in turbo mode.

April 11th, 2009 No comments

Commodore 64 Original Hardware LaptopBenjamin J. Heckendorn made a laptop of a Commodore C64. He used a modified C64c motherboard, original keyboard, 15″ TFT screen and a 1541-III DTV.

Ben also made the case for the laptop. The most work was to get the C64 motherboard and keyboard fit inside the laptop.

Friday the 13th director’s cut

April 5th, 2009 No comments

This version of the game has some changes and bug fixed.

Changes:

  • The time limit is MUCH shorter now
  • Attacking harmless Campers results in a peppered time penalty and increasing panic.
  • That time penalty for attacking the innocent is increased with each round.
  • Other new/modified old panic triggers: every time somebody screams the death-scream, the panic level of the player will rise. Finding bodies will also increase the panic level, and those random splatter pics will increase it even more.
  • High panic levels can lead to temporary loss of control over the player character, the higher the panic, the more often that will occur.
  • Extreme panic level result in an instant heart-failure.
  • Healthy prayers mode: when keeping still while carrying the cross, the panic level will slowly drop.
  • Every 6th round is a bonus round: all you can kill in 3 minutes :)

The 1541U case for the 1541 Ultimate board has been released!

March 30th, 2009 1 comment

from Loriano Page:

After designing the case for the Minimig, some 1541 Ultimate users asked me to take on the rather difficult project of making a case for Gideon’s 1541 Ultimate board.

There have been a few different production runs of the 1541 ultimate boards. The case has been designed around and tested with batch 2 and batch 3 boards. I have also tested the case with one batch 4 and it fits nicely. Batch 1 is shorter than the more recent batch 2, 3 and 4, and does not fit in the case. A case just for batch 1 is in the works.

A lot of time, effort and money have gone in designing this case. I have tried to accommodate batch 2, batch 3 and batch 4 boards, their very subtle differences, boards with and without the Ethernet port and tried to make it work with both Commodore 64 models (classic and 64C) and at the same time include some of the users’ requests.

DotBASIC Plus for the Commodore 64

March 29th, 2009 No comments

DotBASIC PlusIf you are interested in BASIC programming for the C-64, then you have probably used a BASIC Extension at some point.  Most of us are familiar with Commodore’s  Simons’ BASIC cartridge.   Unfortunately, most of these extensions aren’t very useful.  Simons’ BASIC, for example, has a pretty lousy set of commands.

Many of them are basically (pun) useless.  It’s also a very confusing set of commands — there are no consistent conventions used, making it necessary to constantly refer to the manual.

Further, a program written with Simons’ BASIC can only be run on a C-64 with a Simons’ BASIC cartridge.  Pretty limiting.

DotBASIC Plus is similar to other extensions in one way: you get a lot of new commands (or DotCommands, of course) — over 100 so far.  But that’s where the similarities end.

1541 III MMC/SD-Card IEC-Drive

March 25th, 2009 2 comments

Autopsy:

from Project Homepage:

The 1541-III is a PIC microcontroller controlling an FAT16 MMC/SD card with .D64 files. It is connected to a Commodore computer  via the standard IEC-bus (the serial bus normally used to connect diskdrives and printers).

The main goal of the circuit is to behave like a 1541 disk drive (therefore the name 1541-III). The MMC/SD card contains D64-files (or normal .PRG files).
