Majikeyric’s Cross-Tools Suite v1.0

March 11th, 2009 No comments

Here is a *small* part of the C64 cross tools (10 included in this pack!) I wrote during the past years. I make them public today by releasing the most stable and useful ones. Have a look at the summary for the complete list!

They are Win32 command line tools. Please don’t cry for a conversion for your platform because actually I WILL NOT make any effort in this way. They have been made in C with Visual Studio 6. If you cry very loud I can provide very interested and motivated persons the sources but this is a real mess because there are lots of source files and modules (.obj files).

DTVmkfs v0.91 + Mac OSx source fix

March 8th, 2009 No comments

Dtvmkfs build a file system image for flashing into the C64 DTV (v2/v3). The hummer racing game uses a different flash load routine, so the SYS-address needs to be set in a special way for this to work, or a DTV-kernel must be used.

download: dtvmkfs v0.9.1 OSx Source Fixed

Changelog:

0.91 – 2008/12/07

  • Fixed bug with incorrect parsing of load-address from PRGs.
  • Updated to support %XX-encoded C64names.
  • Implemented NOLIST option. C64name starting with $ is still supported for backwards compatibility.
  • Directory ($-file) width automatically expanded if file names are too long.
  • Added -r option to import raw data.

Executable Image release 1 released by MagerValp / M&M

March 7th, 2009 No comments

Executable Image is a perversely over-engineered solution to a very simple problem: how do I convert a Koala image into an executable program? The sane solution would be to fire up an assembler, write about a page of code copying color ram, set up the VIC, and then pucrunch or exomize it to get a sys line.

Scout released a .bat file that does pretty much all that, and it gets the job done. The implementation gave me an itch that I just had to scratch
though.

Executable Image is available for MacOsx / Linux Binary (sources included).
