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 a replacement for C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen and is designed to be a single development tool which will cover some of the early CBM 8-bit machines.

This program is basically a utility created to edit your D64 files. Hopefully when it is done it will have all of the features you’d expect from a c64 based disk editor, as well as additional features that make it easier to manage your D64 files.
Here some features:
- Read D64 files, display the directory, move files around the directory, rename files.
- Export files from the D64 into PRG files.
- Import files into the D64 with autodetection for P00 files.
- View/Edit the BAM.
- View the block chain of files on the D64.
- Create new blank D64 files, clean existing D64′s.
- View and modify blocks on the disk in hex.
- Automatic check for crosslinked files on the D64.
- View the directory using the native c64 font.
- SEQ File Viewer using the c64 font with PETASCII->ASCII conversion option.
- Drag and Drop functionality. Drag D64′s onto the main screen to load them, drag other files to import them.
- Preliminary support for importing T64′s.
- A filename builder to enable easy use of the C64 Characterset in filenames.

Exomizer is a program that compresses files in a way that tries to be as efficient as possible but still allows them to be decompressed in environments where CPU speed and RAM are limited. For some popular 8-bit computers using 6502 compatible CPUs it can also generate executable files that decompress themselves in memory when run.
- 2011-02-06: Exomizer v2.0.1 released
Changes since the 2.0 release:
- Fix bug in log.c that caused the desfx command to loop if the log level was lower than debug. Bug report by iAN CooG.
A complete changelog is included in the zip file.

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 SD HxCFloppyEmulator firmware upgrade v1.5.1.0:
- Direct access mode : Bad Write mode corrected.
- Display: Negative Track position bug corrected.
- Internal : write mode selection code clean up.

from Lallafa’s Blog:
Now with ZoomFloppy device hitting the streets and a growing number of Mac users that own this device its about time to give them decent software packages to work with.
I already started the OpenCBM on Mac page quite some time ago when I started to help porting the code for Macs. I reworked the full page and simplified a lot of things. Here it is the shiny new OpenCBM on Mac page with special attention for easy setup of ZoomFloppy users!
The OpenCBM tools are really useful for day-to-day normal disk transfers. But when it comes to copy-protected disks the only tool there is Nibtools from C64Preservation. These tools use the OpenCBM libraries and I soon got them to compile on my machine.
The only thing missing there was writing a Portfile and setting up a page similar to the OpenCBM on Mac one. Here we go: I added a shiny new Portfile for Nibtools and described its installation on the Nibtools on Mac page.

VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Intel Macintosh OSx > 10.6.
I wrote the software with two major goals in mind. First, I wanted to create an emulator that can be used as a demonstrator program in a first year or second year course on computer engineering.
To achieve this goal, I have integrated various debugging capabilities that let you peek inside the CPU, RAM, ROM, or one of the custom chips. Second, I tried to make the emulator as user friendly as it can get.
In short: VirtualC64 tries to combine the ongoing fascination of the ancient Commodore computers with the great user experience of today’s Macs.
Bug fixes and enhancements:
- New screen geometry. New values reflect width, height, and aspect ratio of a real PAL or NTSC machine.
- Added controls for shifting and zooming screen borders.
- Improved drag’n'drop. Thumbnail images can now be dragged from one emulator window to another.
- Added finder icons for all supported document types.
- D64, T64, PRG, and P00 files can now be opened via the open file dialog (Open menu)
- New background texture and startup animation.

History:
v2.24 – 2010.08.01-2011.01.04

- Slightly better $d011 handling, should help bypass more intros.
- Added handling on more alternative kernal entry points.
- Limit numeric parameters to $ffff
For the latest scanners added look the readme inside the archive.

The CodeNet Client it can be used to transfer PRG files directly into the memory of the C64 and also allows some other actions like filling memory and ofcourse starting a program with RUN or a jump to a defined memory address.
The CodeNet protocol is a very simple protocol to send data and executables to a C64 computer via ethernet. A CodeNet server is normally listening on UDP port 6462.
Changelog:
v0.3 (6.11.10):
- Added: Better network error handling.
