C64 Studio v2.1

February 26th, 2012 No comments

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE written by Georg Rottensteiner. This app supports project based C64 assembly.

The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax. In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory.

Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k and 16k). Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset and sprite editor.

Version history (19.02.2012 – 2.1):

  • Fixed drop bug (.c64 file would not open project).
  • Fixed run bug if basic project was run after asm project.
  • Synced toolbar new menu with menu new.
  • Fixed bug in !bin macro (!bin <filename>,1000,0 would raise an error even when the file was big enough).
  • Added syntax coloring for opcodes (ror, rol, bvc, bvs, brk, php, plp, clv, cld).
  • Fixed bug in Basic parser, now to/from label mode works again for goto.

Atari 8-BIT Ethernet Cartridge – Update

February 21st, 2012 No comments

This Ethernet Cartridge will be used to connect a computer Atari 8-bit to internet.

Much of the work has already been done thanks to some very talented people in the Atari community. The hardware and software was originally developed by Chris Martin and tested by Mark Dusko. The software is based on the work already done in the Commodore 64 community, this adapter will allow you to take advantage of telnet, e-mail, web browsing and a web server via the Contiki Operating System and a Ciris Logic CS8900A ethernet controller chip.

The project is now open source and any help with the project is welcome and greatly appreciated. We are hoping with some help from the awesome Atari 8-bit community, we can make the 8-bit ethernet interface a reality!

A genuine DOS Computer to create floppy Boot Disk

In these days i have had the necessity of a computer with the DOS operating system to create Boot Disk with the ImageDisk program, so i decided to retrieve my old Olidata P133 and install FreeDOS.

I have installed:

  • 3COM 3C905 PCI Ethernet Card.
  • TCP/IP Stack via 3COM 3C905 Packet Driver.
  • Amstrad 1640 5 1/4 Floppy Drive (I had to change a jumper, see photos)
  • Upgraded SIMM Ram (100 Mb)
  • DOS Driver for Crystal 4232 Sound Card (SoundBlaster Compatible)
  • A small fan for the cpu.
  • Some Games and Utility.
