History:

  • fix: when EndAddress is $0000 actually means $10000 so it needs to be set to $10000. Previous check was bugged, it used $00/01 content as a pointer.

VirtualC64 v1.0 Beta 11 for Mac OSx

June 10th, 2010 No comments

VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Macintosh. 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.

Changelog:

Fixed in beta 11

  • 1. Fixed a bug that caused the emulator to crash during startup.

Fixed in beta 10

  • 1. Emulator is now a native snow leopard app.
  • 2. Internal communication between emulator and GUI has been rewritten from scratch.
  • 3. Fixed a bug that caused the emulator to crash when importing the reset image in NTSC mode.

Fixed in beta 9

  • 1. Emulator now supports US keyboards (thanks, Carl!)
  • 2. Source code is now compatible with gcc 4.2 and XCode 3.2
  • 3. Emulator can now handle D64 images with different file sizes.
  • 4. Fixed a bug that caused sporadic crahes under snow leopard.

PRG Starter v2.1 by Boray

May 22nd, 2010 No comments

from the Homepage:

Do you recognize this: “Wait, was this PRG file for the C64 or Vic-20? Or was it for the unexpanded Vic-20 or for one with 8K or was it a cartridge file”?

Imagine just double clicking a PRG or D64 file, and it will be loaded into the correct emulator and with the correct settings. This is exactly what PRG Starter does! It makes VICE so easy to use that even you mother could do it! ;-)

Supported file types: prg, p00, p01, p02, p03, d64, d41, d71, d81, t64, crt, seq, s00, s01, s02, s03…

GameBase64 Browser v1.0.2 (MaC OS X)

May 12th, 2010 No comments

from the Homepage:

GameBase64 is an ongoing effort to document and catalog every Commodore 64 game ever made. It’s a database of over 20000 games and includes many additional bits of information about each game, such as manuals, covers and maps, along with the original game media.

Previously using GameBase64 on the Mac was cumbersome and frustrating because it was not designed with Mac OS X in mind. GameBase64 Browser is trying to remedy this situtation. It’s a ground-breaking frontend to the GameBase64 database, which allows you to find and play the games you remember from the past, quickly and easily with a user interface you’ll feel comfortable in.

Please note that games, screenshots and extras are not part of GameBase64 Browser. You will have to download them yourself.

News (07-May-2010):

  • Fixes the problem with automatic updating. Oops!
  • Please download manually.

CartographPC V1.1 by Arkanix Labs

April 28th, 2010 No comments

CartographPC is a Windows application created to assist in designing tile-based datamaps. This devtool serves as a companion piece to our C64 native Cartograph devtool.

The original purpose of CartographPC was to enable us to take nice screenshots of our datamaps without having to take four or six screenshots of smaller windows and piece them together.

CartographPC has since grown into a full editor with the benefit of being able to load datamaps created on the C64 directly into memory and edit, save, and move them back to C64 without much hassle.

It works by creating datamaps using tilesets created on C64 with the old, but popular, ultrafont editor. Datamaps can have dimensions of 1 to 255 tiles horizontally and 1 to 127 tiles vertically. CartographPC allows the user to create a datamap as small as 40×25 tiles (one screen) and up to 255×127 tiles.
