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!

Char Pad is a cross-development tools aimed squarely at developing graphics for Commodore 64 games and will hopefully ease and inspire the production of new games software for this immortal and unique platform.

New features:

• Per-Tile-Cell colouring mode – Each tile cell can have it’s own colour and mode.
• Tile area clear, cut, copy, paste.
• Extended collision materials – Each tile cell can now be assigned any one of 16 materials.
• Tile size change without data loss (when possible).
• Tile “Safe Swap” – Use the right mouse button to safely re-arrange a tile set without map corruption.
• Tile tidying – Options to clear or remove unused tiles.
• Many more fixes and improvements.

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.

ZoomFloppy is an USB device for connecting Commodore disk drives to your PC. The ZoomFloppy is an improvement based on XU1541 from Till Harbaum.

Nate Lawson and Jim Brain teamed up to produce a professional product. This controller will support IEC drives, IEEE-488 drives and a user-port connection for parallel.

This is a demo compilation for the Easyflash cartridge.

I have picked up the best demo’s from csdb site and i have made a compilation in .crt format.

Personal note (PLA Compatibility): I have tested the EasyFlash cartridge with a Commodore 64 with installed a PLA replacement by Manosoft and it works Perfectly!

I bought mine fully assembled from Mike Betz via Lemon64 Forums.

EasyFlash is a cartridge for the C64 expansion port. In contrast to traditional cartridges, this one can be programmed directly from the C64.

You can easily create various classic computer game cartridges, program collections or even a diagnostic cartridge to track down issues with your hardware with it. All what you need to do this is a C64, an EasyFlash, the software available here and an image of the cartridge (*.crt). As these CRT files may be quite large, a large disk drive like the FD-2000 or an sd2iec may be useful.

EasyFlash is not a freezer cartridge like the Final Cartridge III or the Retro Replay. And it’s no replacement for a 1541 disk drive like the sd2iec.
