It was released a new firmware for the SD2Snes Flash Cartridge (Super Nintendo/Famicom) by Ikari. The upgrade instructions can be found here.

Changelog:

• SPC Player (contributed by necronomfive/blargg)
• System Information screen now shows CPU/PPU revision (contributed by necronomfive)
• Satellaview: basic data transmission packet support (makes some more games boot, thanks to LuigiBlood for assistance and sample data packets)
• Number of supported files increased to 50000 per card / 16380 per directory.
• Slight speedup of menu text rendering.
• Reduce load time of menu.
• Adjust Cx4 timing to be more faithful (Mega Man now defeats the boss in attract mode in Mega Man X2)
• adapt ROM mirroring size to file size if header information is invalid (fixes Super Noah’s Ark 3D, possibly others)
• MSU1 interface changes suggested by byuu:
  • Data offset 0 and audio track 0 are automatically requested on reset. This causes the busy flags to become 0 shortly after reset/startup.
  • $2000 bit 3 is now “audio error”, becomes valid after “audio busy” -> 0 set when an error occurred while preparing playback of the requested audio track write LED stays on when SRAM content changes constantly.
• Fixes:
• fix empty save files on FAT16 / incorrect free cluster count on FAT32.
• correct directory sorting (force parent directory at top of list)
• fix text corruption when entering a directory with a scrollable name.
• fix files/dirs count in system information.
• make ‘sd2snes’ directory hiding case-insensitive.
• improve DAC I²S timing.
• fix occasional palette corruption in menu.
• fix SD clock glitch on ROM loading (occasional glitches/crashes)
• fix memory write timing on ROM loading (occasional glitches/crashes)
• fix SPI timing (ROMs not loading; System Information not working)
• properly synchronize SNES control signals (occasional glitches/crashes)
• fix floating IRQ output (occasional glitches/slowdowns)

CBM prg Studio Version 2.4.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

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

New Features in v2.4.0:

• Screen designer and character editor extended to use the C16 and Plus/4′s larger colour palette.
• Build can now be cancelled.
• Some speed improvements.
• Improved invalid label detection.
• Relaxed restriction on mono-spaced only fonts (use with care!)
• Auto-completion added (labels, variables and macros) for assembly programs.
• Column selection in code editor.

Major bugs fixed:

• Assembly code reformatting tool.
• Loading char/screen/sprite files from the project explorer when the file has been moved/deleted.
• Start page crash for missing/moved projects/files.
• Screen Code Builder:cbm+numerics only works with mouse on virtual keyboard.
• Project open/save crash if project explorer window closed.
• Project tick in view menu occasionally missing.
• Occasional crash when opening sprite file in new project.
• PI symbol/keyword incorrect.
• Detect macro definition with no macro name. Previously would just report ‘preprocessor error’
• Selected memory in viewer should fill in start end address in save.
• End address of selected memory in viewer was sometimes wrong.
• Removed start address from basic programs generated to memory.
• Certain instructions not being optimised (zero page) properly.
• Tidied up the label dump after a build. Long labels were being bunched up.

Turbo Chameleon 64 is an extremely user-friendly cartridge that can be used without opening the computer. It is just plugged to the expansion port of the C64.

The Turbo Chameleon 64 cartridge can also be operated as a stand-alone unit (since it’s basically an FPGA computer like the C-One or the Minimig in a C64 cartridge case), replacing the computer, the floppy drive and the heavy power supply.

When used as a stand-alone unit, a USB power adapter or active USB hub can be used as a power source.

Changelog:

• fixed REU, transfer length register is 1 after a transfer completes.
• fixed REU 512K wrap around.
• fixed cache controller preventing corruption when accessing 0x1FFFF0000 – 0x1FFFFFFFF
• faster SDRAM controller. More memory bandwidth for turbo.
• added slowdown modes to the Turbo settings. Offering CPU speeds of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.
• added native updater program (see manual) to update the fpga core without an usb connection.
• make menu item active when pressing a hotkey, so it is selected when going back to the respective menu.
• correctly mute/unmute second sid in menu freezer.
• clockport- and rr-net- items in options menu are correctly disabled if either is not available.
• if found, load and run update.prg from sd card (chameleon updater)
• if “boot from sd card” is enabled, load boot.prg from sd card (regular c64 boot program)
• improved navigation in one panel mode, cursor right enters subdir/image and cursor left goes one level up.
• improved quickfind, just type a filename quickly to jump to it.
• mount menu is skipped if there would only be one active item.
• when returning to the menu from the sid player by pressing left/menu button it will go directly to the filebrowser.
• added gfx viewer for various multi-color and hires formats.(see manual)
• added wav player (see manual)
• added filecopy (F5 in two panel mode, see manual)
• set $030c-$030e to 0 before starting prgs, increases compatibility with certain packers.
• .sid files which actually contain a basic program can now be run correctly.
• re-read destination panel after copying image.

VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Intel Macintosh OSx > 10.6.

I wrote the software with two major goals in mind. First, I wanted to create an emulator that can be used as a demonstrator program in a first year or second year course on computer engineering.

To achieve this goal, I have integrated various debugging capabilities that let you peek inside the CPU, RAM, ROM, or one of the custom chips. Second, I tried to make the emulator as user friendly as it can get.

In short: VirtualC64 tries to combine the ongoing fascination of the ancient Commodore computers with the great user experience of today’s Macs.

Bug fixes and enhancements:

• Lions native fullscreen mode now works as expected (no more ugly borders)
• Removed old fullscreen mode which frequently crashed on lion machines.
