SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64.

Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).

Changelog:

2009-05-20 – release 0.8.1

• Fix uIEC/IDE SD card change detection.
• Dreamload support for uIEC.
• Mark the RTC time as valid after setting the clock.
• Delay SPI initialisation until absolutely required.
• Show disk change confirmation even when the error blink is active.
• Exit the FC3 fastloader if ATN is active.
• Fix indentation of 1000+ block files.
• Remove 0-byte from the long version message.
• Fix multiple save-with-replace bugs.
• Ignore directories when matching file name wildcards.

ACID 64 Player Pro is the sequal of Acid 64 Player and is a cycle based Commodore 64 music player designed for playing SID tunes on sound cards/devices that have a real SID chip (6581/6582/8580) on board like the HardSID cards and HardSID 4U USB device.

ACID 64 emulates the MOS 6510 micro processor, the 6526 CIA chip and partially the 6569 VIC chip to run the code of a SID tune and it controls the SID chip on the device for playing the Commodore 64 music.

What’s new in version 3.0.1

Fixes

• On some machines the index file wasn’t created correctly (re-indexing is required)
• Indexing of folder with a few SIDs is fixed
• Seek speed isn’t dependent anymore on fast forward limitation
• STIL and SLDB info are now working for files outside HVSC
• Minimal horizontal width isn’t locked to previous width anymore

Improvements

• STIL window can always be opened now and doesn’t close automatically anymore
• Improved handling of SLDB entries
• Digital clock color changed
• Changed a few keyboard short cuts
• A few other small improvements/fixes

This is a game programming competition, not a game playing competition.

The idea of this competition is to write a new game for the MiniGame compo.

C64 VGE is small graphics editor in which You can make little sized pictures beacause of using lines and small amount of pixels to draw them.

It was used to made graphics for almost 4K intro “4K Wannabe” by Black Sun and now it’s released to public, maybe it’ll be usefull for someone other than me.

There are 3 example pictures from “4K Wannabe” supplied with editor for You to grasp the concept.

This is a new demo for the VIC-20 released by Pasi Ojala. This demo runs on a un-expanded VIC-20 with a disk drive.

The very cool music was made by Anders Carlsson.

ROM-el ROM Eliminator: Another project of mine requires a way to replace the 2364 ROMs on Commodore computers, so I started looking for a 2764 to 2364 adapter.

After designing one, I determined that DIP EPROMs are starting to get very expensive, so I set about designing a Flash version. My tentative name is ROM-el. Since Flash is considered ROM as well, the name is a bit off, but I liked it, and only the pedantic will probably care.

64Nic: 2 64NIC+ boards arrived on April 20, and I assembled one in the evening. Initial testing with Devia’s NIC-Test was unsuccessful, so I gave up for the night. After work on the 21st, I pored over the schematics and determined I had miscopied a resistor layout from Eric Pratt’s 64NIC design. The resistor must be tied to ground, not Vcc. Dubious that such a small change would make the board work, I nonetheless made the change and …. it did nothing.

I decided I’d ruined one board, so I assembled the second board, taking care to make the resistor mod before plugging it in. Devia’s NIC-Test worked immediately. Later, I tried the apparently ruined board and it also worked, so it appears I did not completely ruin the board.

Given the success, I immediately released the board to production that evening.

Java Ice Team Tracker 64 is a java based music tracker (editor) for creating music for SID chip of Commodore 64. Instruments are totally based onto tables for full control of sound generation.

The new version comes with some bugs fixed and new features:

• Option: add the disable conditional compilation optimization.
• Option: you can select 4 type of frequencies table.
• Option: filter cut off frequency can now be in siddump format.
• Option: load/store position/size of pattern and instrument windows.
• Pattern: add an external separate windows.
• Pattern: paste can be indipendent for note/instrument/command.
• Pattern: notes in selection can be inc/dec for one octave or half step.
• Pattern: octave up/dn and instrument +/- can be activated by keyboard shortcut.
• Instrument: add missing notify background compilation for AD/SR/Wave changes.
• Instrument: fix bugged move of instrument in list.
• Packer: add missing write of ‘write order’

from 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 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.

This is a old post on webdesignerdepot.com , but it’s always nice to read.

from WebDesignerDepot:

A Graphical User Interface (GUI for short) allows users to interact with the computer hardware in a user friendly way.

Over the years a range of GUI’s have been developed for different operating systems such as OS/2, Macintosh, Windowsamiga, Linux, Symbian OS, and more.

We’ll be taking a look at the evolution of the interface designs of the major operating systems since the 80’s.

I should mention that this article showcases only the significant advances in GUI design (not operating system advances) and also not all of the graphical user interfaces and operating systems existing today.
