Version 1.0.0 – 06.06.2012
- USB and I/O2 RAM are also active in KERNAL mode
- Allows USB-related features in a special KERNAL currently being developed.
- KERNAL implementation uses a cleaner timing now.
- CPLD Version register added ($de08). It will be displayed in the next menu version, not release yet.
- Improved C128 support.
- 2 MHz mode works in EasyFlash mode (needed for PoP)
- Added a way to leave to C64 mode or to C128 mode.
- Will need a menu update, not release yet.
- Still NO external KERNAL on C128! Many optimizations to get all this crap into the CPLD.
Some of the features will need a software update which is not release yet. Do not try to start an external KERNAL on the C128, it will crash.

Peter Jørgensen has released a new Beta version of his YM-2149 Tracker for M$ Windows. The sound chip YM-2149 is used in Atari ST/E/Falcon series.
New Function in Beta 12.021:
- Auto portamento.
- Buzzer Vibrato.
- Buzzer portamento.
- Unified frequent list.
- Turn Tone/Wave on-off in vibrato, bend and arpeggio.
- Vibrato Depth.
- Invert Vibrato for synth wave.
Beta 120.23 – note from the author:
i found 3 bugs in the tone-bend routine. and i have also change 2 of the functions in the program.
Before note-lock was affecting both S1 and S2 now you can set it to s1,s2 or both. I have also change bend-mode ramp-off to only turn off the source that is being bent. So if you bend only S1 then it is only S1 that is turn off after the bend is finish

AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.
AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.
Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:
- Cross-platform GUI with drag and drop support.
- 8 emulated disk drives with support for 512 bytes per sector disk images.
- High speed operation up to 6 times faster than the normal speed.
- Ability to use PC folders as emulated disks.
- Disk image explorer for viewing and modifying disk image contents.
- Ability to run Atari executables without messing with disk images and DOSes.
- Printer emulation.
- Cassette image playback.

The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by jfdn aka Jeff.
The aim of this project is to replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device emulating the floppy disk drive (list of supported Computer/Hardware).
There are two differents emulators:
- A USB version which allows to connect the floppy disk drive interface of the computer to a PC via a USB cable.
- A SDCARD version which allows to emulate floppy disks which images are stored in a SDCARD.
Release notes for the HxCFloppyEmulator software v1.6.11.16:
- Akai S950 DD & Akai S950 HD interface mode support added (need firmware v1.6.4.4 or more)

Sidreloc is a tool for relocating SID tunes any number of whole pages, using a novel but remarkably simple algorithm. It can also relocate all zero-page variables used by the tune.
Sidreloc is capable of relocating 91% of HVSC #56 out of the box. Many of the remaining tunes can be relocated by tweaking the settings to fit them.
While the tool is SID specific, the fundamental algorithm could easily be adapted to relocate all sorts of 6510/6502 machine code that meets a couple of requirements (see “Observations” below).
Sidreloc is primarily a linux program, but it’s open source (MIT license) and you are encouraged to port it to different operating systems. Good patches will be merged into the official version.

CCS64 is a Commodore 64 Emulator for PC developed by Per Håkan Sundell.
CCS64 is shareware. This means that the program is free to use and to copy, but if you like it and use it regularly I would appreciate that you would register the program.

CBM prg Studio Version 2.3.0 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 or VIC20 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.
It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:
- Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
- Tabbed MDI.
- Syntax highlighting.
What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.
New Features in v2.3.0:
- Support for the C16 and Plus/4 machines.
- Undo/redo for character, sprite, and screen designers.
- Support for illegal opcodes.
- Screen designer added to C128 platform (40 column, c64 mode only).
- Start page.
Major bugs fixed:
- Commodore key (in screen designer) producing wrong code for certain colours.
- PI keyword not recognised.
- DATA keyword coloured incorrectly.
- Occasional duplicate start address in new project wizard.
- Wrong link address for VIC 20 projects in generated SYS call.
- Renumbering programs with no destination line numbers after GOTO, GOSUB etc.
- Lowercase text not handled correctly by ‘text’ directive.
- Some minor MMI issues.

XSidplay2 is a QT based music player for SID music.
It is based onto Michael Schwendt’s XSIDPLAY, the historical SID player for Linux, actually no more developed by the author.
from the author:
This version implement a runtime libraries selection (for now however, it must be used one library in one executable as there are some more name conflicts to remove).
It now uses libsidplayfp with resid 1.0 by default (resid-fp emulation will be added in next versions). Consider this as a testing version, so please report bug or issue you find in it.

- An ‘align’ assembly directive for setting the program counter to the next supplied byte boundary.
- Minor screen designer improvements.
Major bugs fixed:
- Variables declared without spaces around the ‘=’ were being rejected.
- Error list not being shown automatically if config says to do so.
- incbin using the wrong range limits.
- incbin not recognised if auto format is on.
- Using arithmetic in byte and word sequences.
- F3 key to repeat last find.
- Remove delete key from screen designer.
- Screen designer. Making a selection required save changes on exit confirmation.
- Renaming or removing files in the build list caused problems.

TMPview is a command line tool that converts your binary source code file saved from Turbo Assembler, Turbo Assembler Macro, and many variants including Turbo Macro Pro into an ASCII version of the code.
Changelog:
- The default value for the source tab width is now taken from theinput file instead of being always nine (9).
- “–unnamed-hex” added; when specified TMPview will output hex notation instead of the default decimal for un-named bastext tokens.
- “–petscii-dec” and “–petscii-hex” added; when specified TMPview will output *all* PETSCII-only characters (those that cannot be displayed rationally in ASCII output) to bastext tokens in either decimal or hex notation rather than their named counterparts.
- “–byte-dec” and “–byte-hex” apply to single character literals.
- “–byte-columns” added; the given value sets how many values per line the “–byte-dec” and “–byte-hex” features output.
- “–stats-detail” and “–stats-wild” added to display interesting and extremely critical statistical output, respectively.
- “–screen” now regards values 0-63 as potential screencodes but only converts strings where every character qualifies.
- corrected tabbed output when –tab-width was 0
- bastext token {cm o} is no longer output as {cm d}
- bastext token {purple} is no longer output as {156}
- handle the fake ‘_’ character properly in quoted strings and macro bodies.
- .include filenames are now translated.
