Kickass IDE for Commodore 64 is a software application which runs under M$ Windows that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

IDEs are designed to maximize programmer productivity by providing tightly-knit components with similar user interfaces. This should mean that the programmer has to do less mode switching versus using discrete development programs.

My Work Bench for small electronic Repair.

This is an AVR MMC/SD boot loader compatible with HolgerBootloader2. Based on a heavily modified version of ChaN’s FatFs library.

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 or ATmega1284p microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family.

The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64. Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).

Changelog:

2012-01-22 – release 0.3

• Further size optimizations.
• Enable FAT12 on uIEC3.

• SD2Iec bootLoader v0.3 (Binary) (1783)

CBM prg Studio Version 2.0.0 Beta released. There are a lot of new features in this version, which is why it has been released as a beta. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

Note that because it is a beta version it can be ran from its own directory, there’s no need to uninstall your current version of CBM prg Studio.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Codeprogram 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.

NOTE: This is effectively a bug fix for the beta version of 2.0.0 which was released last December, although there are a few new minor features (mostly for the screen designer) and other ‘enhancements’.
