VirtualC64 v0.9.4 for Intel Macintosh OSx

January 27th, 2011 No comments

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:

  • New screen geometry. New values reflect width, height, and aspect ratio of a real PAL or NTSC machine.
  • Added controls for shifting and zooming screen borders.
  • Improved drag’n'drop. Thumbnail images can now be dragged from one emulator window to another.
  • Added finder icons for all supported document types.
  • D64, T64, PRG, and P00 files can now be opened via the open file dialog (Open menu)
  • New background texture and startup animation.

January 24th, 2011 No comments

Algodancer 2 is a Commodore 64 demo by Algorithm. I love it because it reminds me a old Amiga Demo; State of the Art by Spaceball.

This a a single file C64 demonstration which demonstrates overlay/underlay vq with realtime in memory decompression and sprite plotting.

CBM-Command v2.0 Release Candidate

January 24th, 2011 No comments

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 2.0 Release Candidate – 2011-01-14

New Features:

  • Whole Disk Copying – Hotkey = “O” – This will copy a whole disk from one like drive to another like drive (ie. 1541 to 1541, 1571 to 1571) and also will copy a 1541 to a 1571.

Changes:

  • Bug fixes

Known Issues:

  • Deleting batches of files with more than 30 files does not work as expected as only the first 30 files are deleted. This is because of the way that deleting files alters the disk directory which prevents looping over the whole directory and selectively deleting files. Unfortunately I see no way around this as it’s impossible to cache the names of all the files to delete without some kind of temporary storage. This issue will not stop the release of Version 2.0.

Micro SwinSID (SwinSID88) is a hardware replacement for legendary SID sound chip which was placed in every Commodore C64 computer and other devices.

On the Photo you can see the AVR ISP homebrew Adapter for programming the firmware.

Firmware update (10012011):

  • Much improved ADSR envelope fading based on a real SID counter design.
  • More soft filter.

Hardware tip:

To increase audio quality and volume level replace R4 (2k2) resistor with 1K. This will boost volume by about 50%

CBM-Command v2.0 Beta 2

January 1st, 2011 No comments

It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 2.0 Beta 2 – 2011-01-01

Changes:

  • (64, 128, Plus/4) Changed the timing code back to version 1.7 because the clock() function in cc65 does not reflect accurate timing.
