Andrea Pompili released the game Catalypse v1.1. Version 1.0 was published in 1992 but there the game had some small bugs.

Andrea has now fixed the bugs and added a level 2 loading screen. The improved game is now available for download.

Description:

• On the left: RS232c Interface for Commodore 64 (KIT: LX719 from Nuova Elettronica)
• On the right: Test Eprom Board cartridges.

A disk notcher used to convert 3½ Floppy Disk 720k/800k to 1.44Mb HD.

This is a program that can playback sid files from the HVSC collection on a real c64.

SIDPLAY 64 v.06 beta (01/01/2010):

• Corrected all text output, when loading sid files from pc dir, and when loading files over netdrive. No strange signs on screen now. ( ? )
• Fixed to “Work” with Netdrive, but there is a but: all sid files extensions must end with “.prg” For instance “shape.sid” will only work if renamed to “shape.prg” or “shape.sid.prg” Netdrive only supports files with the .prg extension. Filenames must be equal or less than 16 letters (do not count file extension)
• Fixed the bug with Retro Replay. According to Countzer0 it is indeed a bug that shouldnt be there.
• Files with not enough relocation pages for siplay64 and with a built in play mode (see sid files with $0000 as play call) will now be loaded and started. Examples here are Pollytracker songs which use all memory. Other files where relocation pages doesnt leave enough memory will still give you the “out of memory error” message.
• Speeded up the keyboard scanner. You can select things faster now.
• Added a display number for number of files in dir.

With christmas time the presents arrive… Nate Lawson presented the beta of his incredible XUM1541 USB to IEC/parallel adapter for OpenCBM.

I was immediately amazed by this project and built my own version of the XUM1541. I had the chance to help out testing the software on Macs even in its early stages, so everything will work smoothly on our favorite platform…

Now with the beta of XUM1541 online, I have another present for you: The OpenCBM on Mac page on my site. This page describes how to compile and set up the OpenCBM software yourself and how to get your device running on your Mac. Have fun!

If your CBM/PET is like mine, the keyboard is probably not working too well, nor is it easy to use. Here is the answer: A PS/2 interface that lets you connect a regular Personal Computer keyboard (with PS/2 connector) to your PET/CBM.

The interface is installed inside the PET/CBM and does not take up any ports, other than an internal expansion power connector. As an added bonus, pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del on the keyboard will reset your pet.

64COPY is an all-purpose DOS and C64 emulator file manager, modelled after Norton Commander, and runs fine under the Windows XP/2000 DOS VDM, or in real DOS.

64COPY will run in a Windows Vista 32-bit VDM, but Vista 64-bit has no VDM support at all. It specializes in converting and manipulating emulator files between various formats. 64COPY does not do any communication to the 1541/71/81 floppy drives to read disks. If that is what you need, download Star Commander for that task.

Some of what 64COPY does includes:

• File conversion between D64 (all types, including the F64 variant), D71, D81, D80, D82, DNP, D2M, T64, G64, ZipCode (all types), PC64 (Pxx, Sxx, Uxx, Rxx), LNX, DOS binaries, ARC, CRT, SDA, X64, LBR, ARK, SPY and CPK files.
• A very powerful 6502 Disassembler.
• TEXT, HEX and D64 HEX editors.
• FILE viewer.
• BASIC unlister.
• D64, D71, D81, D80 & D82 directory customizer.
• Check disks and T64, ZipCode, G64, F64 and CRT files for errors.
• A whole lot more!
