Retro Innovations ROM-el:

To program the ROM-el chip by Retro Innovations you need a Adapter. The ROM-el chip uses a Atmel flashrom AT49F001AN (128K x 8) and we must build an adapter that converts the pins of the 2364 PROM Commodore 64 Kernel, which is used in ROM-el chip, to the original state of the chip AT49F001.

After this work, you can use the Willem programmer to program the FlashROM with one or more C64 kernel.

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!

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:

• Framebuffer writes now use MMU.
• Framebuffer writes can be switched off (buffer can be used by software)
• Cartridge buttons emulated on PS/2 keyboard (F11,F12 and PrintScreen)
• Chameleon can use real BASIC and Kernal ROMs in machine in cartridge mode.
• Emulated IEC bus can be disconnected from C64 (Chameleon is drive emu)
• FLI bug fixed.
• Added Stereo SID support.
• Turbo feature added.
• Relative CPU speed displayed in VGA debug bar.
