Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware.
The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick
The HXC Usb (Gotek) firmware supports: 
Release notes Firmware USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.0.6.0a
- Low level write layer redesigned : Some write issues solved.
- 2 digits display detection issue corrected.
- HFE : Index timing changed/corrected.
- Select button added at the JA jumper position.
- This additionnal button and the I2C LCD screen allow you to freely select a file image without the indexed mode or any selector software.
- Indexed mode : “Previous”/”Minus” button repeat rate reduced.

CBM prg Studio Version 3.4.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/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 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.
CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.
It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:
- Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
- Tabbed MDI.
- Syntax highlighting.
What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.
Improvements:
- Assembler:
- Dump file.
- Visual Data Generator tool.
- Directives for creating tabular data.
- General:
- Mixing BASIC and machine language in same project.
- More control over IDE colours.
Bugs Fixed:
- Assembler:
- Wrong start address when saving from the memory window.
- TEXT and PTEXT generating wrong character values.
- “
- Binary import as assembler was using the wrong start address.
- Incbin problems with large files.

The HxC Floppy Drive Emulator is a software and hardware system created by jfdn aka Jeff.
The aim of this project is to replace the floppy disk drive by an electronic device emulating the floppy disk drive (list of supported Computer/Hardware).
There are two differents emulators:
- A USB version which allows to connect the floppy disk drive interface of the computer to a PC via a USB cable.
- A SDCARD version which allows to emulate floppy disks which images are stored in a SDCARD.
Release notes for the HxCFloppyEmulator software v2.0.26.0:
- New Loader : PC Magazine (FLP) file format support added.
- GUI – Track viewer window : Track editing functionality added, internal sanity check added.
- libhxcfe : Casio FZF loader -> non sector-aligned file image size issue corrected.
- libhxcfe : Generic flux stream analyzer enhanced – Track encoding & RPM correctly reported.
- Batch converter : Now use the folder name for the output filename while converting KF stream files (raw).
- FAT12 Disk Browser: PC98 FAT disk support enhanced, free space reporting corrected.
- Raw Loader – Predefined raw formats added (XML) :
- Logical Interchange Format (LIF) 3″1/2 264KB (single side).
- Logical Interchange Format (LIF) 3″1/2 616KB (double side).
- Logical Interchange Format (LIF) 3″1/2 1232KB (HD).
