HxC Floppy Emulator: Mac OSx Support *Beta Software*

September 26th, 2012 No comments

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 v2.0.3.0:

  • PRE-RELEASE – IN DEVELOPMENT: HxCFloppyEmulator software v2.0.3.0 (Windows & Mac OS X support !)

CBM prg Studio v2.5.1 released

September 14th, 2012 No comments

CBM prg Studio Version 2.5.0 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.

New features:

  • Some of the IDE’s colours can be changed (background, tab strip, selected and non-selected windows).
  • Menu to control open windows.
  • Warnings if invalid BASIC jump (goto, gosub etc.) destinations are detected.
  • ZPOpt directive added.

Bugs fixed:

  • Added ‘missing’ colours to VIC 20′s screen designer.
  • Default project location not being saved if the target machine was not changed.
  • Assembler not assembling mixed case text directive strings properly.
  • Dark and light gray colours were switched.
  • Opening a project after a project had already been opened would use ‘my documents’ rather than the project directory.
  • Incbin failed when used screen designer files.
  • No colours were visible when starting the screen designer without loading a previous file.
  • CTRL+Z not scrolling to changed text.
  • * not recognised for current address.
  • Local labels not recognised in certain circumstances.
  • Generation/import of prgs > 65k for C128 programs would fail.
  • Missing BASIC 7 ‘RLUM’ keyword.

August 30th, 2012 1 comment

WAV-PRG is a program able to create a .TAP file or Commodore 64 tape from a C64 emulator file (.PRG, .P00, .T64), and create emulator files (.PRG, .P00, .T64) from a Commodore 64 tape. The latter can only be done if the tape is in a format supported by an existing plug-in.

VirtualC64 v0.9.6.1 for Intel Macintosh OSx

June 27th, 2012 1 comment

VirtualC64 emulates a Commodore 64 personal computer on your Intel Macintosh OSx > 10.6.

I wrote the software with two major goals in mind. First, I wanted to create an emulator that can be used as a demonstrator program in a first year or second year course on computer engineering.

To achieve this goal, I have integrated various debugging capabilities that let you peek inside the CPU, RAM, ROM, or one of the custom chips. Second, I tried to make the emulator as user friendly as it can get.

In short: VirtualC64 tries to combine the ongoing fascination of the ancient Commodore computers with the great user experience of today’s Macs.

Bug fixes and enhancements:

  • Lions native fullscreen mode now works as expected (no more ugly borders)
  • Removed old fullscreen mode which frequently crashed on lion machines.
