HermIRES it’s a cross-platform hires bitmap (Art Studio 1 format) editor for the Commodore 64.
The format has some restrictions, here are the rules:
- The maximal resolution of the picture is 320×200
- Only 16 fix C64 colours can be used (no gradient either)
- In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
- On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.
Changelog:
- Gave 45 pixel taskbar-height for GUI-size auto-detector (more tolerance)
- LoadVPL() is now before LoadFile() in ‘main’ (by commandline-argument or from config-setting) so opening .png/.bmp at startup is converted correctly with the latest palette.
- Caption name now doesn’t contain the extra letter at the end (string-delimiter 0 was put in wrong place by loop)

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.
Firmware Slim SD HxCFloppyEmulator v2.0.2.2:
- First public SD Slim version firmware.

AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.
AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.
Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:
- Up to 15 disk drive emulation.
- Up to 6x SIO speed (125,000bps)
- Support for ATR, XFD, PRO and ATX (preliminary) disk images.
- Mount folders as emulated disks.
- Disk image explorer.
- Directly boot Atari executables.
- Text only printer emulation with PC print, save, and ATASCII font support.
- Cassette image playback.
- Multilingual GUI (English, Polish, Slovak, German, Turkish and Russian)
- AspeQt client module (AspeCl) for Atari, communicates with the server and performs a variety of remote operations.
Changelog:
- Added an option (Options/Emulation menu) to selectively enable/disable filtering of underscore character from file names in Folder Images (Ray Ataergin)
- Fixed a problem where “Unmount All” menu item was only unmounting the first 8 images. (Marcin Sochacki)
- Updated Polish language translations (Marcin Sochacki – TheMontezuma)

Stella release v3.8.1 for Linux, MacOS X and Windows is now available.
Changelog:
- Added support for TIA RSYNC writes, thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge. This allows the recently released “Extra Terrestrials” ROM to run, as well as improving emulation of “Fatal Run” and several other test ROMs.
- Fixed typo in TIA HMOVE writes, thanks to Thomas Jentzsch. This fixes the constant collision issues in “Kool-Aid Man”, and several other homebrew ROMs.
- Fixed sound issues on OSX PPC machines (all sound was in little-endian format, but PPC is big-endian).
- The OSX DMG archive now contains proper modification dates.

- On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.
Changelog:
Fixed:
- Pen-shapes are symmetric again. -> solution: 2.23*radius as diameter and 80 as angle-steps.
- Pen-preview is more accurate now -> solution: typing some ‘-1′ in PenPreview function.
- 0 sized filled rectangle with dither freezed the app -> solution: when start and end X or Y is equal, only drawing line…
- Taking tasbar size (30 pixel high) into the resolution-decider equation – more probable for GUI to fit into the screen comfortably.
- Windows – now the program Icon appears again in taskbar and window-title -> with the new compile.bat (not from DevCpp with Makefile.win)

Changelog:
- Updated Turkish translations.
- Updated the AspeQt documentation.
- Added Folder Image boot support for MyDos, MyPicoDos and SpartaDos. AspeQt now offers an option to switch between those 4 different DOSes automatically. The user no longer needs to supply the required DOS files or the file containing the boot sectors ($boot.bin) as AspeQt includes them and switches from one DOS to another through the UI. The context menu (right clicking on a mounted folder image on D1:) will present a window with DOS selections. By choosing a DOS and clicking Apply on that window will switch DOSes and the next reboot of the Atari will boot selected DOS from the Folder Image. For details of the switching mechanism, the limitations of, and more, please see AspeQt documentation.
- Changed the color and boldness of the Folder Image names to visually differentiate them from other file images.

- In a 8×8 pixel-block only 2 colours can used to be displayable by C64 (this is detected in HermIRES, but .hbm files can be saved with clashes too.)
- On a real C64 the PAL will blur the screen-content a bit, should check on CRT, or at least VICE emulator’s CRT simulation.
Changelog:
Added:
- Color swapping fast-button – Tilde “`” button (BitBreaker’s idea)
- Show pen-diameter preview circle if diameter is bigger than the default
- *dense (pixel-scale) grid toggleable (in bigger magnifications too).
- *added ‘Deny painting’,'Reuse existing colour’ and ‘Set block colour’ mode to ClashTest – different settings on/off in case clash would happen…
- *showing zoomed area in the preview, allow going to area in zoomed mode when left-clicking on preview
- Showing ongoing progresses by text/graphics (loading/converting/drawing…)
- Selectable CRT emulation for Preview/Grid only… (for faster operation on slow machines)
- Undo step number displayed (should undo history also be saved?)
Fixed:
- Control/shift/alt stucked in Win7 with allegro devpak 4.2… -> using allegro devpak 4.4.2 version instead!
- Reduced overall CPU usage – refined timed and pixelling/detection events
- iI Windows it was slow (especially in CRT emulation) -> wrote optimized software CRT-emul.pixelling for GridDrawer, not relying on hw-acceleration
- *pressing F1..F4 fucked up (enlightens) toolbar sometimes – solution: timing stabilizer / thread safety check solved it
- Preview-zoom title-text was overwritten by Grid-Zoom-text in the smallest resolution mode with 2-digit magnifications
- *there was ‘allegro error #11′ and ‘segmentation fault’ at lower than required resolution – it was logical mistake in resolution-decider loop
- Made dithered and big-pendiameter filled rectangle/circle drawing faster (set the steps according to pen-diameter)
- *allegro filename-extension detection was wrong – if ‘.’ used in filename and no extension given, only the name before was saved to disk! -> used ustrcmp & strcat instead
- *C64-executable format name-tag (caption) now editable (deleting it disables it)
