CBM prg Studio Version 3.5.0 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.
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 v3.8.0:
- Assembler:
- Logical operators.
- Code relocation.
- Watch labels/addresses.
- Local character mapping.
- Screen Editor:
- More export options.
- Change border colour.
- Sprite Editor:
- Multiple layers for preview.
- Invert sprite.
- General:
- Load VICE palettes.
- Open a command line.
Bugs Fixed:
- General:
- Remember ‘close start page’ state.
- Sprite editor:
- Imported sprites had the same data.
- Select mode on scratch pad didn’t work.
- Screen code builder:
- Left arrow generated wrong code.
- Character editor:
- Export characters as hexadecimal.
- Multicolour chars flip left/right not working.
See the help for a complete list of new features and fixed bugs.
Note In this version, each target machine can have its own default project directory. If you are upgrading from a previous version (before version 2.5.1) of CBM prg Studio you may be asked to set up your project directories again. Your current projects will not be affected.

Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware.
The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick
The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: 
Release notes Firmware USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.8.2a
- HD floppy disk format issue corrected : write buffer size corrected.

Hoxs64 written by David Horrocks is a Commodore 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows 2K/XP/Vista/Seven (DirectX 9+)
The emulator substantially reproduces this legacy machine in minute detail.
Changelog:
- Fix VIC where a write to the raster compare register was causing a raster IRQ to occur one clock too soon. This fixes “Vandalism News #64″

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.
v3.1.1 addresses a few bugs reported by users:
- Issue opening NAT partitions (.dhd)
- .dhd performance (no md5, .dhd BAM)
- Horizontal BAM display (.d71)
- Disk initialization when unzipping a 1-4! zipcode set when dragged from Explorer.

Some of the new stuff in v3.1.0:
- .d1m (read/write)
- Windows Explorer right click context menu, “Extract All Here”: extracts all files from the disk or archive file into the same directory.
- Add %H parameter to run in, to convert filename to $ hex characters.
- File properties adds file size in bytes and md5 hash.
- Ctrl x/c/v in a directory window will cut, copy, and paste files to and from the clipboard (mimics Windows Explorer behavior)
- Mouse over a sector in the BAM shows the file name and sector.
- Selecting a file will number the linked sectors in the BAM.
- Tweaks to batch output (html, seq, txt, csv), GEOS file handling, disk error handling (23/24/27/29), sfx/sda title handling, PETSCII tool.
- Bug fixes addressing d2m, d4m, d81, t64, g64, nib and other general functions.

CBMXfer is a front-end to several command-line utilities for transferring files and working with disk images. CBMXfer makes using those utilities easy by providing a familiar windows interface that removes the need to learn the commandline syntax of each program. CBMXfer also includes a multi-format file and picture viewer.
The commandline utilities are:
- OPENCBM – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected via an ‘X-cable’ on the parallel port.
- CBMLINK – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected to a real CBM computer connected to the PC via a serial cable.
- C1541 – a utility from VICE that works with CBM Image Files (ie: D64,D71,D81 files).
- NIBTOOLS – Utilities to transfer images via parallel port. Supports protected disks.
- IMGCOPY – Utility to image IEEE and 1581 disks.
What can I do with it?
- Transfer files to or from real CBM drives
- Create D64 and other images files from real CBM disks
- Write D64 and other files back to real CBM disks
- Transfer files from WITHIN Image Files
- View Commodore files (BASIC, SEQ, Binary, ML, Chr Sets, and Images). Supports all all machine types
- ML viewer is a full two-pass symbolic disassembler!
- Simple file operations like copy, delete, rename
- Launch VICE and attach disk images plus autorun
- Zoom Floppy supported.
- Supports 1581 partitions with OpenCBM
- Format disks
- Supports IEEE drives with Zoom Floppy

- General:
- Editing tools (Select to end/start of screen/doc etc.)
- Comment blocks
- Debugger:
- Show effective address of next instruction.
Bugs Fixed:
- Assembler:
- Low of high byte of labels could fail.
- Occasionally wrong target machine type with ‘generate and launch.’
- Problems with a comment character after a comment character or in a string.
- Problem with a label as a destination when the label is on the same line as the macro definition.
- ‘Align’ incorrect when already on align boundary.
- Debugger:
- Wrong return address shown.
- BASIC:
- Statistics tool not coping with ‘rem’ in strings.

Relaunch64 is an IDE (text-editor) for C64 assembler-coding on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Relaunch64 has a clean and intuitive user interface, yet it offers many features that make coding faster and easier.
Java 7 or higher is required to run Relaunch64. The program is licensed under the GNU GPL 3 (or higher) and free for private and professional use.
This editor works together with common cross assemblers like Kick Assembler, ACME, or 64tass. Other assemblers might work as well, but syntax highlighting may not be 100% correct.
