Exomizer is a program that compresses files in a way that tries to be as efficient as possible but still allows them to be decompressed in environments where CPU speed and RAM are limited. For some popular 8-bit computers using 6502 compatible CPUs it can also generate executable files that decompress themselves in memory when run.

• 2011-02-06: Exomizer v2.0.1 released

Changes since the 2.0 release:

• Fix bug in log.c that caused the desfx command to loop if the log level was lower than debug. Bug report by iAN CooG.

A complete changelog is included in the zip file.

from Lallafa’s Blog:

Now with ZoomFloppy device hitting the streets and a growing number of Mac users that own this device its about time to give them decent software packages to work with.

I already started the OpenCBM on Mac page quite some time ago when I started to help porting the code for Macs. I reworked the full page and simplified a lot of things. Here it is the shiny new OpenCBM on Mac page with special attention for easy setup of ZoomFloppy users!

The OpenCBM tools are really useful for day-to-day normal disk transfers. But when it comes to copy-protected disks the only tool there is Nibtools from C64Preservation. These tools use the OpenCBM libraries and I soon got them to compile on my machine.

The only thing missing there was writing a Portfile and setting up a page similar to the OpenCBM on Mac one. Here we go: I added a shiny new Portfile for Nibtools and described its installation on the Nibtools on Mac page.

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 or VIC20 if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is a replacement for C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen and is designed to be a single development tool which will cover some of the early CBM 8-bit machines.

CBM-Command is a disk manager for the Commodore 64 / Commodore 128 / Commodore VIC20 and Commodore C16 computers. It is written like Norton Commander or Midnight Commander, but is much simpler due to the target platforms. Both the C128/C64/VIC20/C16 have their own native version of the application.

Release Notes – Version 2.0 Release Candidate – 2011-01-14

New Features:

• Whole Disk Copying – Hotkey = “O” – This will copy a whole disk from one like drive to another like drive (ie. 1541 to 1541, 1571 to 1571) and also will copy a 1541 to a 1571.

Changes:

• Bug fixes

Known Issues:

• Deleting batches of files with more than 30 files does not work as expected as only the first 30 files are deleted. This is because of the way that deleting files alters the disk directory which prevents looping over the whole directory and selectively deleting files. Unfortunately I see no way around this as it’s impossible to cache the names of all the files to delete without some kind of temporary storage. This issue will not stop the release of Version 2.0.

Tetris is a puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union. It was released on June 6, 1984, while he was working for the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Academy of Science of the USSR in Moscow.

He derived its name from the Greek numerical prefix tetra- (all of the game’s pieces, known as Tetrominoes, contain four segments) and tennis, Pajitnov’s favorite sport.
