Find your way through the dungeon levels and bring the Amulet back to the surface. Watch out for fierce guardian Demons and other creatures living in the dungeons.

Use the cursor keys to move. Move towards a monster to attack it. Any items are picked up when you walk on them.

The PLA chip (906114-01) used in the Commodore C64 is a generic 82S100 gate array with custom programming. Its logic functions were dumped and reverse engineered by the community and are available from a variety of sources. They’re reused for this particular PLA replacement in the FPGA Arcade 28 pin DIL CPLD board.

Two approaches exist to build such a PLA replacement:

1. Implementation based on a truth table with 216 entries, each entry consiting of 8 bits and programmed into an EPROM chip.
2. Reverse engineered logic equations programmed into a PLD.

Both approaches result in the same logic functionality when implemented in a CPLD. Since equations are more common for CPLDs, I chose this implementation style for the final design. However, there’s a variant for the truth table available which has been verified in simulation but not in real C64 hardware. Following are descriptions for both of them.

We have run simulations proving that the equations perfectly match the truth table, so both compiled outputs are effectively identical in the C64 implementation discussed here.

Forth, the Language.

Forth is a different language. It’s aged and a little weird.
What’s cool about it? It’s a very low-level and minimal language without any automatic memory management. At the same time, it easily scales to become a very high-level and domain-specific language, much like Lisp. Compared to C64 Basic, Forth is more attractive in almost every way.

It is a lot more fast, memory effective and powerful. Compared to C, specifically cc65, the story is a little different. It’s hard to make a fair comparison. Theoretically Forth code can be very memory efficient, and it’s possible to make Forth code that is leaner than C code. But it is also true that cc65 code is generally much faster than Forth code.

Java Ice Team Tracker 64 is a java based music tracker (editor) for creating music for SID chip of Commodore 64. Instruments are totally based onto tables for full control of sound generation.
The new version comes with some bugs fixed and new features:

• Option: temp directory is automatically given by the systemOption: activate the disable real time compilation option.
• Option: add Nimbus theme.
• Patterns: add cut functions and shortcut to cut/copy/paste/clear/select.
• Patterns: add mute/unmute playing of the voice.
• Tracks: fix semaphore red bug when press play and no compilation in background done.
• Tracks: Report when there is a sound problem (sometimes the sound core library is not able to have a free sound line to use) when playing the tune.
• Player: fix track repetition command errors.
• Player: fix note transpose for instrument.

DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI tool useful for the management of common (and uncommon) emulator formats (such as .d64, .d81, .t64, etc) as well as native archival formats (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc).

New in this version:

• .t64 *write* support.
• .t64 “Run In” support.
• disk/archive content preview on file open dialog.
• remembers window location/size between launches.
• cross linked sector check.
• “Run In” can now operate from a transient disk or tape image; this creates a temporary image which is passed to the chosen emulator; temp images are deleted when DirMaster exits.
• configurable character replacements for exported file names.
• and various other user interface tweaks and bug fixes.
