CBM prg Studio Version 2.3.0 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 or VIC20 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 v2.3.0:
- Support for the C16 and Plus/4 machines.
- Undo/redo for character, sprite, and screen designers.
- Support for illegal opcodes.
- Screen designer added to C128 platform (40 column, c64 mode only).
- Start page.
Major bugs fixed:
- Commodore key (in screen designer) producing wrong code for certain colours.
- PI keyword not recognised.
- DATA keyword coloured incorrectly.
- Occasional duplicate start address in new project wizard.
- Wrong link address for VIC 20 projects in generated SYS call.
- Renumbering programs with no destination line numbers after GOTO, GOSUB etc.
- Lowercase text not handled correctly by ‘text’ directive.
- Some minor MMI issues.

Autopsy:
The Everdrive is essentially an interface which allows your ageing console to communicate with an SD card. Using software loaded directly onto the device, the Everdrive boasts a simple menu which allows you to navigate your way around your SD card and load one of hundreds of ROMs into its flash memory. This takes only a few seconds and once the process is complete it’s as if you’ve slotted the original cartridge into your machine.
The Everdrive itself is manufactured in the Ukraine by a talented guy known as Krikzz. He only sends out the bare circuit board so you may want to cannibalize an existing cartridge to create a suitable case. Setting up the Everdrive is relatively straightforward; you simply format your SD card in FAT32 and then drop your ROMs into organised files. One thing you have to note is that each folder cannot have more than 512 items in it, so it’s a good idea to create a folder for each letter of the alphabet and then transfer the files into each.
The Everdrive can be ordered direct from its creator via his website or via resellers on various auction sites.

XSidplay2 is a QT based music player for SID music.
It is based onto Michael Schwendt’s XSIDPLAY, the historical SID player for Linux, actually no more developed by the author.
from the author:
This version implement a runtime libraries selection (for now however, it must be used one library in one executable as there are some more name conflicts to remove).
It now uses libsidplayfp with resid 1.0 by default (resid-fp emulation will be added in next versions). Consider this as a testing version, so please report bug or issue you find in it.
