Turbo Chameleon 64 beta firmware v6d released

July 18th, 2011 No comments

Turbo Chameleon 64 is an extremely user-friendly cartridge that can be used without opening the computer. It is just plugged to the expansion port of the C64.

The Turbo Chameleon 64 cartridge can also be operated as a stand-alone unit (since it’s basically an FPGA computer like the C-One or the Minimig in a C64 cartridge case), replacing the computer, the floppy drive and the heavy power supply.

When used as a stand-alone unit, a USB power adapter or active USB hub can be used as a power source.

Changelog:

Differences from Beta-6c to Beta-6d:

  • Cartridge emulations.
  • Turbo speed increase: Eliminated one clock cycle from critical path.
  • Turbo speed increase: Writes to memory concurrent with next instruction fetch.
  • Turbo speed increase: MMU caches last used CPU slot.

C64 Studio v1.4

July 18th, 2011 No comments

C64 Studio is a .NET based IDE written by Georg Rottensteiner.

This app supports project based C64 assembly. The internal assembler is using the ACME syntax.

In connection with Vice the IDE allows you to debug through your code and watch variables/memory locations, registers and memory.

Any other emulator can be set up as well if it’s startable via runtime arguments. C64 Studio allows you to compile to raw binary, .prg, .t64 or cartridge format (.bin and .crt for 8k and 16k).

Additionally to this C64 Studio comes with a charset and sprite editor.

Version history:

14.07.2011 – 1.4:

  • Added warnings for unused labels.
  • Speed up compiler (less restart of parsing)
  • Following element dependencies on build.
  • Disallow circular dependencies.
  • Readjusted watches after restart.
  • Save current open document and position.

There’s still a little bug in the sprite editor I haven’t been able to reproduce involving flipping (press X/Y) and/or copy/paste.

C64 Game: Psykozone Cracked by Onslaught

July 14th, 2011 No comments

Psykozone by Alf Yngve and Richard Bayliss (distribuited by Psytronik) for Commodore 64 has been cracked by Onslaught.

In the twenty first century the United States have collapsed into a myriad of independent regions. Some trade is being made between the regions by using a badly kept net of expressways known as the Psykozone.

These stretches of road are practically lawless, ruled by gangs of road warriors and genetically-enhanced psycho-bikers. The object of the game is to reach the Pacific ocean by travelling through the most dangerous part of the Psykozone.

So load up with ammo, oil your engine, fill up your tank, secure the plutonium rods and brake for no-one!
