From Homepage: There have been some problems with the site (mid february, 2009). Due to some kind of spam robot, the site crashed and was rather badly messed up a few days ago.  All content is still intact though, as far as I understand.

It seems that some of the plugins were abused in some way, so I have been forced to remove the discussion plugin from the site. I think there may also be some problems with access rights, so please let me know if you encounter any kind of trouble.

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.

from Wikipedia:

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.
