Regenerator is an interactive disassembler for C64 binaries. Regenerator will load any standard C64 .PRG file (or VICE snapshot) and disassemble it for your convenience.

There are a few options you can choose to change the output and a few tools to make the output look better and more useful to programmers. Regenerator runs under M$ windows and need .net 3.5 (or 4.0) runtime.

The Vorpal save and load utilities are for placing user-created files and programs in a special fast-loading format.

Unlike the Fast Load Cartridge from Epyx, the Vorpal fast loading feature will not speed the loading of “off-the-shelf” programs and games purchased from software manufacturers.

Includes powerful utilities for Commodore 64/128.

• 1541 Head Alignment: Head Alignment Utility puts most 1541 disk drives back on track.
• File Recovery Utility: Finds and recovers files that were erased by mistake.
• Super-Fast Disk Format: Epyx’s own format utility formats disks in approximately 25 seconds. Normal formatting time is almost 2 minutes.
• Super-Fast File Backup: Fast file backup utility recognizes many different file formats including relative and Vorpal files.
• Super-Fast Disk Backups: High speed disk backup can duplicate a disk in a fraction of the time it normally takes.
• Disk Drive Speed Check: Diagnostic utility monitors the performance of Commodore 1541 and 1571 disk drives.
• Vorpal* Save/Load: Special Vorpal save and load utilities place user-created files and programs in Vorpal format. Files and programs load up to 25 times faster than normal.

Sheepoid the brillant game by Richard Bayliss (Psytronik) for Commodore 64 has been cracked and trained by Onslaught.

The game’s story goes as follows:

“A nightmare has just begun! The Neon Vortex is under attack from strange and bizarre psychedelic experiences from outer space! We have transported two micro sheep to fight against the Neon Vortex invaders.

Your sheep are also armed with a deadly SMART BOMB that will destroy everthing on the screen. Use these wisely as your sheep can only carry one smart bomb per level. ou must also rescue baby sheep trapped in the vortex, if you shoot them you will lose 1000 points from your score. Be careful when using the SMART BOMB as this will also destroy any baby sheep on the screen!”

This is one of my favorite games of the 80′s, thanks to Avatar for the crack/trainer.

Bounty Bob Strikes Back! is the sequel to Miner 2049er and was initially released in 1984 for the Atari 8-bit series of computers.

It was later ported to the Atari 5200, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in 1985. Gameplay is similar to Miner 2049er in that the player must inspect every section of 25 mines while avoiding mutants within a set time.

One improvement to this sequel is after losing a life, sections on platforms remain covered and destroyed enemies do not reappear, thus making it easier to complete a level.

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE written by Georg Rottensteiner.

This app supports project based C64 assembly. The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax.

In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory.

Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k and 16k).

Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset and sprite editor.

Version history:

02.06.2011 – 1.2b:

• Fixed crash when pushing “Macros” without active document.
• Fixed copy/paste bug in charset editor.
• Added clipboard import for sprites.
• Cleared undo buffer on direct file load.
• Fixed parse bug which allowed LDA/STA (xxx),x
• Added copy/paste for sprites.

24.05.2011 – 1.2a:

• Fixed sprite editor import and export (horribly messed up)

This program converts images to a new c64 graphic format known as MUCSU FLI (MUltiColor Sprite Underlay FLI). 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.

TURGEN SYSTEM is an acronym for “Turbo generating system”. It is a program whose main purpose is conversion of files (with focus on binary files) to various turbo systems used in former Czechoslovakia and Poland.

Output of the program is an electric signal that can be stored in WAVE files or can be sent directly to computer’s audio system. Such electric signal can be then transferred to compact cassettes and read by data recorders equipped with particular turbo system.

TURGEN SYSTEM focuses on conversion of binary files. For such purpose, set of special miniature turbo loaders was developed and integrated to the program. Also a “Wizard for binary files” is available to provide convenience during the conversion preparation.

ASAP is a player of 8-bit Atari music for modern computers and mobile devices. It emulates the POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor.

The project was initially based on the routines from the Atari800 emulator, but the current version has a completely new original emulation core.

Infiltrator Disassembler is a M$ Windows based tool for decompile Commodore 64 programs.

A disassembler is a computer program that translates machine language into assembly language—the inverse operation to that of an assembler. A disassembler differs from a decompiler, which targets a high-level language rather than an assembly language.

Disassembly, the output of a disassembler, is often formatted for human-readability rather than suitability for input to an assembler, making it principally a reverse-engineering tool.
