You are captain Steve Zappa, who has been transported to different star boads. Your mission is to clear all decks on each star ship from the crazy aliens that infest the ship.

Then hurry back to the computer console and teleport out of the star ship, and get back into your little space craft. You will then be taken aboard on to the next star ship, in which you have to complete each mission.

Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) is a hardware replacement for legendary SID sound chip which was placed in every Commodore C64 computer and other devices.

On the Photo you can see the AVR ISP homebrew Adapter for programming the firmware.

Firmware update (10012011):

• Much improved ADSR envelope fading based on a real SID counter design.
• More soft filter.

Hardware tip:

To increase audio quality and volume level replace R4 (2k2) resistor with 1K. This will boost volume by about 50%

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:

• Introducing cheatbox. Travel back in time by reverting to automatically taken snapshot states
• T64, PRG, and P00 files can now be mounted as virtual disk
• Restructured and refactored all Objective-C classes
• Fixed a bug that caused unallocated memory to be freed

Note: The version numbering scheme is changed to comply with the update framework.

Contiki is a small, open source, highly portable, multitasking computer operating system developed for use on a number of memory-constrained networked systems ranging from 8-bit computers to embedded systems on microcontrollers, including sensor network motes.

The name Contiki comes from Thor Heyerdahl’s famous Kon-Tiki raft.

The Contiki 2.x contains only very little assembler coding and even less target-specific assembler coding. This allowed for easy porting to targets beside the C64 namely the C128 and Apple II. Porting to other cc65 targets wasn’t done due to missing Ethernet hardware.

The major changes are:

• Support of the Atari 8-bit machines with the ethernet cart described on http://www.atari8ethernet.com
• FTP client app (only download although UI suggests upload too)
• Twitter client with OAuth workaround (using SuperTweet.net)
• New high contrast color scheme for Contiki UI apps on the C64.
