CBMXfer v0.27b (Front-End for CBM4Win/CBMLink)

December 3rd, 2009 No comments

CBMXfer Front-End for CBM4Win/CBMLinkfrom Homepage:

CBMXfer is a GUI, or Front-End, to several command-line utilities. CBMXfer makes using those utilities easy by providing a familiar windows interface that removes the need to learn the commandline syntax of each program.

These commandline utilities are:

  • CBM4WIN – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected via an ‘X-cable’ on the parallel port.
  • CBMLINK – transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected to a real CBM computer connected to the PC via a serial cable.
  • C1541 – a utility from VICE that works with CBM Image Files (ie: D64/D81 files).

What can I do with it?

  • Transfer files to or from real CBM drives.
  • Create D64 and other images files from real CBM disks.
  • Write D64 and other files back to real CBM disks.
  • Transfer files from WITHIN Image Files.
  • View Commodore BASIC listings for all machine types.
  • Simple file operations like copy, delete, rename.
  • Launch VICE and attach disk images plus autorun.

Yape Plus/4 Emulator v0.84 updated

October 13th, 2009 No comments

From the Yape homepage:

Now the summer hiatus is over, a small update to Yape is ready. Mainly tape related fixes/features but let us not forget the simple external assembler that is now added to the monitor and is available via the A (or .) command, just like for the good ole TEDMON.

It could still be improved but for now it’ll suffice I guess. It also supports illegal opcodes, of course.

But here’s the full log of what’s been changed:

  • Implemented a simple assembler in the external monitor (yay, at last!)
  • Tape head adjust dialog for wave samples.
  • Optionally invert tape sample input signal (soundcards may invert the phase while recording WAV’s)
  • Tape fast forward and rewind in 15 sec steps.
  • TAP’s with non-native encoding now supported (C64, VIC20 frequencies)
  • Bugfixes (sound, tape)

MUSC-Hires Converter updated – (C) 2009 Algorithm / Algotech

October 3rd, 2009 No comments

musc-hires-converterThis program converts images to a new c64 graphic format known as MUCSU Hires (MUltiColor Sprite Underlay Hires). It is merely a hiresolution bitmap image with an X expanded multicolor sprite underlay. The Hires underlay variant of this mode has been created before (known as extended hires).

After reading a few forum posts mentioning that the multicolor version of this mode was unrealistic and would provide too many restrictions, I decided to produce this converter to prove that this is not the case as well as wanting to use this particular format for my own production.

Changelog:

  • This is the updated version of the MUCSU converter with a major difference. It now supports different spritecolors every raster line with individual colors for each sprite. Ofcourse the usual mucsu mode is also supported.

September 26th, 2009 No comments

StyleTMPview is a command line tool that converts your binary source code file saved from Turbo Assembler, Turbo Assembler Macro, and many variants including Turbo Macro Pro into an ASCII version of the code.

v1.1 brings some bug fixes, but the main new feature is translation of PETSCII in string literals into tok64/bastext compatible tokens. Therefore output from TMPview can now be fully re-assembled by… well, that is a story for another release…

ICU 64 v0.1 for Vice v2.1

September 21st, 2009 No comments

This is the second public version of ICU64. You can now experience the hacker’s view of the Commodore 64 with real-time view and edit of the C64 internals.

Note:

In this version ICU64 operates as a common debugger over the x64 process. This approach reduces the features that can be supported, in comparison to the Frodo Redpill version. But since it is slightly newer, it has some more functionality and some bugs are fixed. The notable addition is a simple ‘memory scanner’.

Requirements:

  • A fast PC with Windows XP and .NET Framework 2.0
  • The WinVICE 2.1 Emulator.
