Happy new year to everyone.

Growing up in the seventies and eighties, my childhood memories basically consist of videogames, bright plastic toys and TV cartoons.

Any time that was left I spent drawing and programming games for my Commodore 64. At a later age a few of my childhood dreams became a reality when I temporarily moved to Melbourne, where I worked as a videogame programmer, did oil-painting in a studio and had my work displayed in one of the local galleries.

After a course in Graphic Design I made a career-switch and became a graphic designer/illustrator. Currently back in The Netherlands I work at a small design company and spend my spare time illustrating my childhood memories and designing papertoys.

I specialize in one-piece papertoys that consist of a single flat piece of paper, which by intricate folding is transformed into a 3-dimensional model.

Changelog:

• (2008-10-18: fixed flashing AT49BV163A)

download: picobay.com/dtv_wiki

The flash utility can be used to (re)flash the DTV’s FlashROM. This way, installing new programs as well as replacing emulation ROMs (BASIC/KERNAL/CHARGEN – also see Kernalpatcher) can be done.

Changelog:

• (2008-10-18: fixed AT49BV163A)

download: picobay.com/dtv_wiki

Dtvmkfs build a file system image for flashing into the C64 DTV (v2/v3). The hummer racing game uses a different flash load routine, so the SYS-address needs to be set in a special way for this to work, or a DTV-kernel must be used.

It was written with the U1541 user interface in mind, and I hope I have achieved the same ease of use.

Features:

• Browsing much like the U1541 user interface.
• It even handles more than 256 files per directory. (now I know why Gideon wants to postpone that feature)
• Devices 8-11 are selectable.
• Basic load address information (verrrry useful for VIC users)
• ‘sys 320′ hook to reload browser (after a reset, or when it is overwritten by a file load)
• Only 8 blocks.
