Tri-Lace Converter (Build 25-01-10) by Algorithm / Algotech

January 26th, 2010 No comments

Tri-Lace Converter by Algorithm / AlgotechThis converter converts a truecolor Jpeg/Bitmap picture to three seperate c64 hires bitmaps which when flicked together fuse the colors together tocreate a rendition of the original image.

History:

25/01/10

  • Speedup of approximately 20-30%
  • Extra ‘Heavy filter’ implemented.

23/01/10

  • Added Luma only conversion option.  This ignores the color content of the image and converts according to brightness.
  • Linux Version.

21/01/10

  • Major bug fix. some brightness check flags were toggled incorrectly for each 8×8 or 8×2 block resulting in close colors being filtered out and replaced by bad luma combos.
  • Added ‘ass lace mode’ to standard non fli mode + (non super flicker reduction).
  • Added weaker dither (dither 1). Default of dither 1 in previous versions is now ‘dither 2′.
  • Optimisation of conversion routines. Now runs slightly faster.

XUM1541 Beta and OpenCBM for Mac OSx

December 31st, 2009 No comments

XUM 1541from the Homepage:

With christmas time the presents arrive… Nate Lawson presented the beta of his incredible XUM1541 USB to IEC/parallel adapter for OpenCBM.

I was immediately amazed by this project and built my own version of the XUM1541. I had the chance to help out testing the software on Macs even in its early stages, so everything will work smoothly on our favorite platform…

Now with the beta of XUM1541 online, I have another present for you: The OpenCBM on Mac page on my site. This page describes how to compile and set up the OpenCBM software yourself and how to get your device running on your Mac. Have fun!
