ROM-el ROM Eliminator: Another project of mine requires a way to replace the 2364 ROMs on Commodore computers, so I started looking for a 2764 to 2364 adapter.

After designing one, I determined that DIP EPROMs are starting to get very expensive, so I set about designing a Flash version. My tentative name is ROM-el. Since Flash is considered ROM as well, the name is a bit off, but I liked it, and only the pedantic will probably care.

64Nic: 2 64NIC+ boards arrived on April 20, and I assembled one in the evening. Initial testing with Devia’s NIC-Test was unsuccessful, so I gave up for the night. After work on the 21st, I pored over the schematics and determined I had miscopied a resistor layout from Eric Pratt’s 64NIC design. The resistor must be tied to ground, not Vcc. Dubious that such a small change would make the board work, I nonetheless made the change and …. it did nothing.

I decided I’d ruined one board, so I assembled the second board, taking care to make the resistor mod before plugging it in. Devia’s NIC-Test worked immediately. Later, I tried the apparently ruined board and it also worked, so it appears I did not completely ruin the board.

Given the success, I immediately released the board to production that evening.

da Engadget: Incredibile! ci sono borsette e borsette… ma questa supera veramente tutte!

La fantasia malata di Jeri Ellsworth ha partorito una’idea veramente Bizzarra, ma molto carina , inserire un Commodore 64 (versione DTV) in un borsetta con tanto di JoyPad Style NES e schermo LCD.. ovviamente il tutto perfettamente funzionante.

Su Engadget c’e’ anche un Video che dimostra il pieno funzionamento di questa opera d’arte.

Benjamin J. Heckendorn e’ riusciuto a fare qualcosa di Spettacolare utilizzando la scheda madre del Commodore 64C la tastiera Originale un monitor TFT da 15 pollici e un’interfaccia Floppy per DTV 1541 III.

E’ arrivato a inserire il tutto in un Case Autocostruito per rendere il Commodore 64 Portatile…. Ripeto, secondo me e’ Semplicemente FAVOLOSO!

Questa versione del gioco ha subito un’accurato restyling del core risolvendo alcuni bug veramente fastidiosi.

Changes:

• The time limit is MUCH shorter now
• Attacking harmless Campers results in a peppered time penalty and increasing panic.
• That time penalty for attacking the innocent is increased with each round.
• Other new/modified old panic triggers: every time somebody screams the death-scream, the panic level of the player will rise. Finding bodies will also increase the panic level, and those random splatter pics will increase it even more.
• High panic levels can lead to temporary loss of control over the player character, the higher the panic, the more often that will occur.
• Extreme panic level result in an instant heart-failure.
• Healthy prayers mode: when keeping still while carrying the cross, the panic level will slowly drop.
• Every 6th round is a bonus round: all you can kill in 3 minutes :)
