NAV, is a new file browser for the C64. NAV can use a mouse in Port 1, joystick in Port 2, or the keyboard. NAV can work with up to five drives and has been tested with the following drive types:
1541, 1571, 1581, uIEC, IDE64
Browsing through directories and disks is just point and click! Drives like the uIEC that can store gigabytes of software can be tedious and frustrating to navigate. NAV lets you easily work with D64/D71/D81/DNP/M2I disk images as well as “real” Commodore disks and the IDE64. Up to five drives at a time!
Just click a drive to browse it!Pressing the “@” key brings up a command line that acts just like the good ol’ DOS Wedge. In addition, there are a few additional commands that can be entered on the command line. Just type “@HELP” to get the complete list.
Changelog:
- More drive icons. The font has been improved, directory listings look better.
- NAV now displays the number of files on the disk.
- Lots of bug fixes.
- LOAD and RUN the CHANGES program to read the complete changelog. As before, type “@help” in NAV to get a full list of features.
- You can now choose from 12 different backgrounds. I copied most of these tiles from ones used in GEOS (thanks ShadowM).
- Unfortunately, NAV still does not work with the Final Cartridge III. Sorry. It seems as though there is a way to temporarily disable the FCIII to allow it to work with NAV… but I can’t figure it out… yet. Feel free to drop me a line if you think you can help.

HermIRES it’s a cross-platform hires bitmap (Art Studio 1 format) editor for the Commodore 64.
The format has some restrictions, here are the rules:
- The maximal resolution of the picture is 320×200
- Only 16 fix C64 colours can be used (no gradient either)
- In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
- On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.
Changelog:
Fixed:
- Pen-shapes are symmetric again. -> solution: 2.23*radius as diameter and 80 as angle-steps.
- Pen-preview is more accurate now -> solution: typing some ‘-1′ in PenPreview function.
- 0 sized filled rectangle with dither freezed the app -> solution: when start and end X or Y is equal, only drawing line…
- Taking tasbar size (30 pixel high) into the resolution-decider equation – more probable for GUI to fit into the screen comfortably.
- Windows – now the program Icon appears again in taskbar and window-title -> with the new compile.bat (not from DevCpp with Makefile.win)

AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.
AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.
Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:
- Up to 15 disk drive emulation.
- Up to 6x SIO speed (125,000bps)
- Support for ATR, XFD, PRO and ATX (preliminary) disk images.
- Mount folders as emulated disks.
- Disk image explorer.
- Directly boot Atari executables.
- Text only printer emulation with PC print, save, and ATASCII font support.
- Cassette image playback.
- Multilingual GUI (English, Polish, Slovak, German, Turkish and Russian)
- AspeQt client module (AspeCl) for Atari, communicates with the server and performs a variety of remote operations.
Changelog:
- Updated Turkish translations.
- Updated the AspeQt documentation.
- Added Folder Image boot support for MyDos, MyPicoDos and SpartaDos. AspeQt now offers an option to switch between those 4 different DOSes automatically. The user no longer needs to supply the required DOS files or the file containing the boot sectors ($boot.bin) as AspeQt includes them and switches from one DOS to another through the UI. The context menu (right clicking on a mounted folder image on D1:) will present a window with DOS selections. By choosing a DOS and clicking Apply on that window will switch DOSes and the next reboot of the Atari will boot selected DOS from the Folder Image. For details of the switching mechanism, the limitations of, and more, please see AspeQt documentation.
- Changed the color and boldness of the Folder Image names to visually differentiate them from other file images.
