JiffyDOS Licensing & 23256 ROM Adaptor

May 31st, 2009 No comments

23256_rom_el_pcbAs announced at the C4 EXPO, I am working with Mark Fellows (Highland IT Solutions) to finalize a licensing agreement for ‘JiffyDOS’ ROM Overlay manufacture and distribution.

In addition to hardware ROM enhancement units, I will also offer image downloads for 1541 Ultimate, C64DTV, and emulator users, as well as an amnesty offering for unlicensed copies.

To minimize manual manufacturing processes inherent in the current EPROM-based JiffyDOS offerings, my goal is to utilize the ROM-el EEPROM/FLASH solution for JiffyDOS hardware offerings.

Jeri Ellsworth developed a purse with a C64-DTV, LCD-screen…

April 30th, 2009 No comments

Jeri Ellsworthfrom Engadget: Look: there are purses, and then there are purses. Well, this one is none of those things. It’s a decent looking bag to begin with, but then… well, things get really fantastic.

Jeri Ellsworth took it upon herself to cram a Nintendo-on-a-chip and a Commodore 64-on-a-chip (her own creation) into the bag, along with an LCD. Then she connected up some NES controllers, which are velcroed onto the outside of the bag. The result looks awesome, and is also actually useable.

We haven’t heard anything about these guys being offered for sale, but we’re fairly certain that the august House of Dior will probably be ringing her up any day now. Seriously: this thing is a work of art.

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.

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.
