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 HxCFloppyEmulator software v2.0.22.0:

  • GUI – Track viewer window : New viewer mode -> Disk surface view mode.
  • Raw loader :  UKNC Russian computer support added.
  • New Writer : BMP file (Disk/circular layout) -> Disk layout can now be exported into a BMP file (for disk analysis) !
  • libhxcfe : Correction of the UTF8 path support in some loaders/writers.
  • New Loader : SPS CT Raw file format support added. (NOTE : No flakey bits support for the moment !)
  • libhxcfe : Generic flux stream analyzer enhanced.
  • Disk Browser : ADFLib fseek corrected.

CBM prg Studio v3.0.0 released

May 12th, 2014 No comments

CBM prg Studio Version 3.0.0 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:

  • 65816 assembler/debugger.
  • Partial support for the VICE debugger.
  • Bitmap import/export for character editor.
  • Binary file import to Assembly source.
  • Line and rectangle drawing tools for the screen designer.
  • TASM support added to Source Converter tool.

Bug Fixed:

  • Assembler:
    • Using arithmetic with cheap labels would fail.
    • Slow incbin performance for large binary files.
    • Wrong SYScall generation for C128 projects.
    • incbin with screen data imported all screens.
    • Assembling past the end of memory not detected properly.
    • Invalid branch not detected properly.
    • Arithmetic on WORDs not carried out.
    • Multiple characters in single quotes in BYTE sequences not assembled properly.
    • GenerateTo only created .prg files.
    • Save File As… would only save .bas files.
    • Comment tool would not comment out already commented code.
    • Incbin reporting ‘file too large’ error by mistake.
  • Screen Designer:
    • Binary file export
    • Colour selection for C16 projects didn’t work.
    • Wrong screen size saving C128 screens.
    • Character set selection corrected.
  • General:
    • Some code reformatting issues.

Relaunch64 V3.0 – C64/65xx cross-development IDE

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.

Apple Monitor IIgs (A2M6014Z) Focus problem workaround.

April 26th, 2014 No comments

Apple Monitor IIgs (A2M6014Z) Focus problem walkaround. Apple Monitor IIgs (A2M6014Z) Focus problem walkaround.

The horizontal measuring was made calculating the ledge at the base of the monitor.

Unfortunately, this monitor suffers from a serious problem of image quality.

The monitor become very hot and the adjustment resistance (trimmer) of the Focus controls that is inside the flyback loses its original value.

After nearly an hour of operation, the image becomes blurred and we must adjust the trimmer of the focus located inside the monitor, that’s why i have made this modification to the external case of the monitor.

The flyback is NOT longer exists as a spare parts.
