Autopsy:

12►

from Elektronite Homepage:

One smart ape has escaped from his cage. Mario, the zookeeper, is in a real fix! The gorilla Darwin has captured a very special lady and made his way onto a construction site and up bewildering, unfinished structures and a veritable King Kong! Leap for your life over bouncing barrels, ride fast-moving platforms to dizzying heights, scurry under runaway springs, and avoid roaming flames and dangerous balls of gas as you make your way up. It will take not only Mario but one of his brothers Toni and Bruno to outsmart the big ape and return the girl to safety.

It’s TWO games in one! The first arcade game, PLUS a second game with five all NEW levels inspired by the arcade hit D2K: Jumpman Returns! 9 Screens in total!

Features:

• New graphics and sound effects. Hear DK growl for the first time!
• Separate high scores for Game 1 and Game 2. Perfect for high-scoring competitions!

I’m happy to share the photos of the day spent with Damiano (Manosoft) that besides being a good friend is also the father of the interface C64SD Infinity for Commodore 64/C16/VIC20.

We spent a pleasant day of old memories, we are watched and commented some demos for the Commodore 64 and we have completed the repair of the keyboard of his Commodore SX-64.

Thanks Damiano for making me visit and for giving me a lot of things that are now part of my collection.

A new version of the firmware for the interface 1541 Ultimate II is released. This version runs only on the 1541 Ultimate II cartridge (new fpga).

Version 2.6d includes some new features and fixes:

• FIXED: Ultimax mode forced now correctly implemented (solves issue with freeze and DMA load)
• FIXED: Updater now works on C128… (not all C128 issues are fixed)
• ADDED: Programmable cartrige emulation timing.
• IMPROVED: Some drive emulation enhancements.

Release notes:

• This version does *not* include SID, but it does include the Ultimate Audio module. Different builds may become available upon request.
• The internal copier is still in beta. It has been tested with some of my drives, but there might be drives out there that won’t work. Make sure you have an IEC link from the Ultimate to a real drive to use this function. (No need to have a link to the computer.) There is still no retry mechanism; sectors that failed to read correctly will not be re-read.
• The Kernal replacement function is critical when it comes to timing. Tested on two machines only. Might not work on all C128.

NAV, is a new file browser for the C64. NAV can use a mouse in Port 1, joystick in Port 2, or the keyboard. NAV can work with up to five drives and has been tested with the following drive types:

1541, 1571, 1581, uIEC, IDE64

Browsing through directories and disks is just point and click! Drives like the uIEC that can store gigabytes of software can be tedious and frustrating to navigate. NAV lets you easily work with D64/D71/D81/DNP/M2I disk images as well as “real” Commodore disks and the IDE64. Up to five drives at a time!

Just click a drive to browse it!Pressing the “@” key brings up a command line that acts just like the good ol’ DOS Wedge. In addition, there are a few additional commands that can be entered on the command line. Just type “@HELP” to get the complete list.

Changelog:

• More drive icons. The font has been improved, directory listings look better.
• NAV now displays the number of files on the disk.
• Lots of bug fixes.
• LOAD and RUN the CHANGES program to read the complete changelog. As before, type “@help” in NAV to get a full list of features.
• You can now choose from 12 different backgrounds. I copied most of these tiles from ones used in GEOS (thanks ShadowM).
• Unfortunately, NAV still does not work with the Final Cartridge III. Sorry. It seems as though there is a way to temporarily disable the FCIII to allow it to work with NAV… but I can’t figure it out… yet. Feel free to drop me a line if you think you can help.
