Contiki is a small, open source, highly portable, multitasking computer operating system developed for use on a number of memory-constrained networked systems ranging from 8-bit computers to embedded systems on microcontrollers, including sensor network motes.

The name Contiki comes from Thor Heyerdahl’s famous Kon-Tiki raft.

The Contiki 2.x contains only very little assembler coding and even less target-specific assembler coding. This allowed for easy porting to targets beside the C64 namely the C128 and Apple II. Porting to other cc65 targets wasn’t done due to missing Ethernet hardware.

The major changes are:

• Support of the Atari 8-bit machines with the ethernet cart described on http://www.atari8ethernet.com
• FTP client app (only download although UI suggests upload too)
• Twitter client with OAuth workaround (using SuperTweet.net)
• New high contrast color scheme for Contiki UI apps on the C64.

History:

v2.24 – 2010.08.01-2011.01.04

• sysline detection added also during pass 1. Very rarely needed but still happened a couple of times that a sysline re-evaluation is done by the unpacker so can’t be avoided.
• Slightly better $d011 handling, should help bypass more intros.
• Added handling on more alternative kernal entry points.
• Limit numeric parameters to $ffff

For the latest scanners added look the readme inside the archive.

The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.

All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals.

Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller, which acts as a synthesizer.

Here some video examples:

• The Chipophone (Presentation video).
• Carol of the Bells.
• Delta composed by Rob Hubbard.
• DuckTales, The Moon.
• Legend of Zelda.
• Little Nemo: The Dream Master.
• Pokémon Trading Card Game.
• Spellbound composded by Rob Hubbard.
• Think Twice III.
