D64 Editor v0.031

February 11th, 2011 No comments

This program is basically a utility created to edit your D64 files. Hopefully when it is done it will have all of the features you’d expect from a c64 based disk editor, as well as additional features that make it easier to manage your D64 files.

Here some features:

  • Read D64 files, display the directory, move files around the directory, rename files.
  • Export files from the D64 into PRG files.
  • Import files into the D64 with autodetection for P00 files.
  • View/Edit the BAM.
  • View the block chain of files on the D64.
  • Create new blank D64 files, clean existing D64′s.
  • View and modify blocks on the disk in hex.
  • Automatic check for crosslinked files on the D64.
  • View the directory using the native c64 font.
  • SEQ File Viewer using the c64 font with PETASCII->ASCII conversion option.
  • Drag and Drop functionality. Drag D64′s onto the main screen to load them, drag other files to import them.
  • Preliminary support for importing T64′s.
  • A filename builder to enable easy use of the C64 Characterset in filenames.

Exomizer v2.0.1 Bug Fix release

February 6th, 2011 No comments

Exomizer is a program that compresses files in a way that tries to be as efficient as possible but still allows them to be decompressed in environments where CPU speed and RAM are limited. For some popular 8-bit computers using 6502 compatible CPUs it can also generate executable files that decompress themselves in memory when run.

  • 2011-02-06: Exomizer v2.0.1 released

Changes since the 2.0 release:

  • Fix bug in log.c that caused the desfx command to loop if the log level was lower than debug. Bug report by iAN CooG.

A complete changelog is included in the zip file.

Nibtools on Mac added and OpenCBM on Mac updated

February 2nd, 2011 No comments

from Lallafa’s Blog:

Now with ZoomFloppy device hitting the streets and a growing number of Mac users that own this device its about time to give them decent software packages to work with.

I already started the OpenCBM on Mac page quite some time ago when I started to help porting the code for Macs. I reworked the full page and simplified a lot of things. Here it is the shiny new OpenCBM on Mac page with special attention for easy setup of ZoomFloppy users!

The OpenCBM tools are really useful for day-to-day normal disk transfers. But when it comes to copy-protected disks the only tool there is Nibtools from C64Preservation. These tools use the OpenCBM libraries and I soon got them to compile on my machine.

The only thing missing there was writing a Portfile and setting up a page similar to the OpenCBM on Mac one. Here we go: I added a shiny new Portfile for Nibtools and described its installation on the Nibtools on Mac page.

CBM prg Studio Beta v0.1.0 released

January 29th, 2011 2 comments

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 or VIC20 if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is a replacement for C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen and is designed to be a single development tool which will cover some of the early CBM 8-bit machines.

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.
