MultiColor is an image manipulation tool for Commodore 8-bit computers’ graphics formats. It is an old-school painting program for graphicians but not an image converter. Currently VIC-II multicolor bitmap is the only supported image format.

Features:

• Written in C++, so it’s quite fast and no special runtime is required.
• Can be compiled for many platforms, because it uses wxWidgets.
• Can load Koala and Amica, file type is detected independently from file name.
• Behaviour when hitting the color-per-cell-limit can be selected.
• Undo/redo.
• Tools with realtime preview (e.g. Line)
• Basic TV emulation.
• Zoom, with grid at higher zoom factors.

This program converts images to a new c64 graphic format known as MUCSU Hires (MUltiColor Sprite Underlay Hires). It is merely a hiresolution bitmap image with an X expanded multicolor sprite underlay. The Hires underlay variant of this mode has been created before (known as extended hires).

After reading a few forum posts mentioning that the multicolor version of this mode was unrealistic and would provide too many restrictions, I decided to produce this converter to prove that this is not the case as well as wanting to use this particular format for my own production.

The Commodore 1530 (C2N) Datasette (a portmanteau of data and cassette), was Commodore’s dedicated computer tape recorder.

It provided access to an inexpensive storage medium for Commodore’s 8-bit home/personal computers, notably the PET, VIC-20, and C64. A physically similar model Commodore 1531 was made for the Commodore 16 and Plus/4 series computers.

SHO-FLI (Sprite Hires OVerlay FLI/Sprite OVerlay Hires FLI) is a custom c64 graphic mode which features a hiresolution spriteoverlay in one color over a FLI image.

It works in exactly the same way as the SHFLI mode but the image data is wider due to using 1 sprite overlay (rather than two in SHFLI) – This GFX mode is also known as SHF-XL originally invented by Crossbow/Crest. I created this Application because this gfx mode is rather awkward to paint in.  Plus there does not seem to be any converters released.

HISTORY:

UPDATE 3 – 17/02/09

• Selective ordered dither implemented – now default  Dithers pixels only if they dont fall in the c64 color range.
• White is now displayed as white.
• Ability to select background color (for asthetic purposes only. does not affect the 144×168 image)

The Amiga 500, also known as the A500, was the first “low-end” Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end Amiga 2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST. The A500 was released in mid 1987 at the price of 595.95 USD without monitor.

FAT40 and Orion made a VIC20 version of the game Island of Secrets.

The game itself is simple and the parser limited, but the atmosphere is good, thanks also to the excellent manual, with comic-style drawings and nice descriptions.
