CBM prg Studio Version 3.14.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

New features:

• Git integration.
• BASIC 7 abbreviations.
• Connect SID tool to MIDI devices.
• Screen editor digitiser tool.
• Sprite editor character import.
• Resize VIC20 screen designs.
• Screen compression.

Bugs Fixed:

• Too many to list here, see the help for a complete list of new features and fixed bugs.

DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI application designed to help Commodore enthusiasts explore and manage their disk image collections.

DirMaster supports common (and uncommon) emulator disk image formats (such as .d64, .d81, .d2m, etc), almost every native Commodore archival format (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc), and many native graphic formats (such as koala, doodle, amica, etc).

DirMaster was designed to give users a perfect blend of familiar appearance (e.g. natural looking disk image contents using the PETSCII character set) and modern GUI functionality (e.g. drag and drop, opening multiple disk images at once). The first version of DirMaster was released in 2006

Issues reported by users that were resolved in v3.1.5:

• BAM can display a file chain for an offset file depending on Show Deleted Files toggle [0200] (M. Huth)
• allow VIC-20 BASIC files to be viewed [0201] (S. Houdek)

Issues resolved due to user interest in v3.1.5:

DirMaster has supported 40 track disks since v3 in a limited read-only manner. Some users (most recently, hedning/G*P) expressed interest in better support for 40 track .d64; in response, v3.1.5 resolves these issues, with more features likely in a future version:

• PrologicDOS diskname and id are read from the wrong location [0176]
• improve detection of PrologicDOS, DolphinDOS and SpeedDOS [0208]
• blocks free doesn’t account for tracks 36-40 when an extended track DOS format is detected [0209]
• enable writing files to tracks 36-40 on extended DOS format d64 [0210]
• extending a disk from 35 to 40 tracks should initialize the extra BAM for a default extended DOS (default = DolphinDOS) [0211]

Thanks to all who made an effort to submit bug reports and feedback. If you sent a bug report and don’t see it addressed here, don’t worry, it’s in the queue.

Other issues resolved in v3.1.5:

• Can’t set a sector error to 29 [0202]
• a .cvt file that contained a .cvt file would unarchive back to the containing .cvt [0203]

Issues reported by users that were resolved in v3.1.4:

• On a d81, we cannot navigate into a subdirectory created inside a subdirectory [0193] (scott.hutter)
• A large (32 blocks) GEOS VLIR file that cannot be copied between disks [0188] (user provided test file, thank you! birt_j)
• When exiting DirMaster, saving all modified disk images by clicking “Yes to all” fails silently [0183] (stephan-andres)
• Exported .cvt files don’t conform with .cvt format’s magic string [0184] (wweicht)
• Certain small GEOS files are not exportable or copy-able between disks [0187] (user provided test files, thank you! wweicht)

Thanks to all who made an effort to submit bug reports. If you sent a bug report and don’t see it addressed here, don’t worry, it’s in the queue.

Other issues resolved in v3.1.4:

• High CPU usage when BAM view is open [0198]
• Editing a GEOS date stamp in File Properties has no effect [0192]
• File Property modified indicator (bold text) isn’t reset when selecting a new file [0195]
• File Properties GEOS description field ‘help text’ is not updated when selecting a different file [0197]
• Application crash when no file is selected and certain GEOS properties are changed in File Properties dialog [0194]
• GEOS file properties date reports a day and month 1 step larger than actual GEOS [0191]
• cvt files use the global fill byte setting to pad records, but shouldn’t [0189]
• GEOS description field in file properties dialog sometimes displays garbage [0190]
