SD2Snes Firmware v0.1.4 released

E’ stato rilasciato il nuovo firmware per la SD2Snes Flash Cartridge (Super Nintendo/Famicom) di Ikari. Le istruzioni per l’aggiornamento le potete trovare here.

Changelog:

  • SPC Player (contributed by necronomfive/blargg)

    • Data offset 0 and audio track 0 are automatically requested on reset. This causes the busy flags to become 0 shortly after reset/startup.

  • correct directory sorting (force parent directory at top of list)

CBM prg Studio v2.4.0 released

E’ stata rilasciata una nuova versione del programma CBM prg Studio. Ci sono un sacco di nuove funzionalità e fix in questa versione e sono sempre gradite le segnalazioni di bug o suggerimenti/commenti.

CBM prg Studio e’ un kit di sviluppo che gira in ambiente Windows e vi permette di programmare in Commodore Basic e Linguaggio Macchina(LM), il programma potrà poi essere compilato in un file eseguibile “.PRG” per Commodore 64 o VIC-20.

La suite è anche completa di un ottimo sprite editor che permette di definire fino a 128 pattern, nonché di un funzionale char editor, che permette di avere una gestione completa e sotto controllo della procedura per la ridefinizione del charset interno al C64 e al Vic20.

Infine il CBM prg Studio, offre una completo e facile controllo della complessa gestione della tastiera del C64 e Vic20 ed in particolare dei caratteri PETSCII che contraddistinguevano le macchine sotto il marchio Commodore e che rappresentavano una chiave fondamentale per la programmazione in ambiente Basic, alla stregua di un vero e proprio macro linguaggio.

CBM prg Studio sostituisce le ormai obsolete Tools: C64PrgGen e VIC20PrgGen.

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.

Jurassic News numero #42

Jurassic News è una fanzine realizzata da appassionati di retro computing con lo scopo di dare vita ad un periodico gratuito che tratti l’informatica delle origini.

Tutti hanno sentito parlare del Commodore64, dello Spectrum o dell’Apple II (tanto per citarne alcuni): sono i nomi fantasiosi dei primi calcolatori personali veramente alla portata di tutti. Qualcuno di voi ne ha posseduto uno o magari lo possiede ancora e ricorda l’eccitazione di quei primi passi nel mondo dell’informatica che ora è ormai esplosa e permanea tutta la nostra vita quotidiana.

Coloro che ricordano con nostalgia la pionieristica atmosfera dei primi approcci al BASIC o al linguaggio macchina o che semplicemente hanno passato molte ore cercando di superare quel livello di gioco che sembrava impossibile, troveranno in J.N. la stessa atmosfera di un tempo.

Rilasciato il nuovo firmware 7b beta per l’interfaccia Chameleon

La cartuccia Chameleon Turbo 64 è estremamente facile da utilizzare dal momento che non serve aprire il proprio computer perche’ si collega alla porta di espansione del C64.

La cartuccia può funzionare anche come unità “stand-alone” questo perche’ al suo interno il cuore e’ un chip FPGA che emula quasi (ancora in beta) del tutto un Commodore 64, compreso il Floppy Drive e puo’ essere collegata ad un normale monitor VGA (LCD o CRT).

  • fixed REU 512K wrap around.
  • fixed cache controller preventing corruption when accessing 0x1FFFF0000 – 0x1FFFFFFFF

  • 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.
