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…

Introduction: The idea behind Cassadapt was to give Commodore computer enthusiasts yet another choice for interfacing their beloved old computers to modern PC’s to either record a .tap/,prg file to a Datassette or playback a Datassette to the PC to capture as a .wav file to then convert to a .tap file.
Cassadapt converts audio signals from your PC’s sound card to digital 0-5V data that can be recorded to a real C2N / 1531 Datassette or played directly in to the C64, C16 etc., even without the need for a real Datassette connected.
With the use of fantastic programs like TapWav, TAPClean and WAV-PRG, Cassadapt is the play-record loop tape enthusiasts are looking for.

The Laser 100/110 was the first model of the Laser 100/200/300 family. The ROM was nearly identical to the one of the Tandy Radio-Shack TRS-80 Color Computer, with only minor changes. It’s so close that when people write Laser emulators, they use TRS-80 CoCo ROM documentations (Laser detailed documentations are hard to find, especially about the ROM itslef).
The Basic was a Microsoft Basic just slightly modified to avoid lawsuits, some statements being stored in the ROM but not available on the machine! Like the most of the Vtech products, the Laser 100/110 was “cheaply” conceived: chicklet keyboard, plastic case, light-weight… It was produced to compete against the first wave of micro-computers like the famous Sinclair ZX-81.
The difference between the Laser 100 and the Laser 110 must be the RAM size (like the Laser 200 and 210), though very little information on the Laser 100 is available. The biggest difference with its big brother the Laser 200 was that it only had a black & white display. An obscure VZ-100 version was also released but this wasn’t the same machine as the VZ series sold in Australia and New-Zealand by Dick Smith Electronics.

The Vectrex is an 8-bit video game console that was developed by Western Technologies/Smith Engineering. It was licensed and distributed first by General Consumer Electric (GCE), and then by Milton Bradley Company after their purchase of GCE. It was released in November 1982 at a retail price of $199 ($430 compensated for inflation) as Milton Bradley took over international marketing the price dropped to $150 and then $100 shortly before the video game crash of 1983. The Vectrex exited the market in early 1984.
Unlike other non-portable video game consoles, which connected to televisions and rendered raster graphics, the Vectrex has an integrated vector monitor which displays vector graphics. The monochrome Vectrex uses plastic screen overlays to generate color and various static graphics and decorations. At the time, many of the most popular arcade games used vector displays, and GCE was looking to set themselves apart from the pack by selling high-quality versions of games such as Space Wars and Armor Attack.
Vectrex comes with a built in game, the Asteroids-like Minestorm. Two peripherals were also available for the Vectrex, a light pen and a 3D imager. The Vectrex was also released in Japan under the name Bandai Vectrex Kousokusen. While it is a mainstay of disc-based console systems today, the Vectrex was part of the first generation of console systems to feature a boot screen, which also included the Atari 5200 and Colecovision.

Manosoft reached a version 2 milestone with his new mass-storage project, C64SD. The Italian developer Damiano Colombari based the C64SD design on the already existing SD2IEC solution.
This project is interesting not only because it’s another mass-storage solution but because it combines already existing solutions to a new and fresh product.
Damiano has always followed all the Commdore related websites and forums especially concerning the MMC and SD2IEC projects. That’s when he got the idea to build a solution for which one doesn’t need soldering, wire cutting or the IEC cable.

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.
