A new version of the firmware for the Ultimate-64 / Ultimate 1541 II / Ultimate 1541 II+ by Gideon and some enhancements by Markus is released.
Changelog of Ultimate-64 / 1541 Ultimate 2+ by Gideon
- NEW: Audio Mixer
- 1541 Ultimate II+ only:
- 1541 Ultimate II and II+ only:
- Can now be used in Ultimate 64
- Ultimate 64 only:
- SpeedDOS Parallel Cable (needs e.g. DolpinDOS roms)
- Interface type: Ultimate Menu picture overlay (HDMI-only)
- USB keyboard support. Like earlier firmware, press scroll/lock to enter/exit the Ultimate menu.
- Replacement of Charrom and BASIC.
- Display *.64 files as a directory via FTP:
- Every chosen FTP username enables this feature (*.d64 are shown as directory AND as *.d64 files)
- The username “d64″ deactivates the listing of *.d64 files (*.d64 are only shown as directory)
- The username “d642″ disables this feature completely, (*.d64 are only shown as files)
.. and there are many improvements not present in the changelog.
Note for the Ultimate 64:
You will need a kernel, basic and character rom after the upgrade. These roms are not included in the update. These roms are distributed with vice-emu, but you can also find them on zimmermans.net.
For instance, you could use these roms: 901225-01.bin (char), 901226.bin (basic) and 901227-03.bin (kernal). Roms with the .rom extension should also work.
Changelog of Ultimate-64 / 1541 Ultimate 2 / 1541 Ultimate 2+ by Markus
Changes in this release (compared to 3.3):
- You can now flash more alternative kernals and floppy roms (1541 Ultimate II+: 2, Ultimate 64: 3).

- D => DVI

Available for sale the ZOE RGB rev 2.0 interface for Mattel Intellivision.
The Zoe interface lets you connect the PAL Mattel Intellivision console to a TV/monitor through the RGB signal of a SCART connector, dramatically increasing the quality of the video signal and bringing it to the highest possible quality: the original output is a modest RF/Antenna signal.
The interface is connected in place of the National LM1886 IC (TV Video Matrix DAC) to take the RGB and Sync signals and convert them for the SCART output.
Below some examples of video quality using a Sony PVM9041QM CRT Monitor and a Sony KD-49XD8305
The ZOE rev 2.0 interface is tested individually piece by piece before shipment.
The assembled kit is available and you can buy it now from ebay or privately (An installation service on the console will be available for less experienced users)
The kit includes:
- 1 x ZOE rev 2.0 pcb with 3 bioadhesive supports.
- 1 x Dupont connector to the 8-pin DIN female panel socket (30cm long)
- 1 x Flat cable to connect the ZOE RGB to the socket of the LM1886 (19cm long)
- 1 x SCART Cable to 8-pin DIN male (2mt long)
- 1 x Audio cable with dupont connector from one end and to solder on the other side (30cm long)
- 1 x Precision IC Socket to replace the LM1886.
- 2 x Screws to fix the 8-pin DIN female.
Video test (Italian Only):
The video was made by a friend Vincenzo Sinceri.
If someone wants to remake the din-scart cable (example: more length), this is the pinout:

CBM prg Studio Version 3.12.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.
CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.
CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.
It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:
- Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
- Tabbed MDI.
- Syntax highlighting.
What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.
This is mostly a bug-fix version, though there are some small new features.
Bugs Fixed:
- Assembler:
- Problems with spaces in expressions.
- Problems with spaces in ‘repeat’ parameters.
- Screen codes in byte/text directives not generated properly.
- Breakpoints were not sent to a debugger properly when building projects.
- Some zero page optimisation issues.
- BASIC:
- Renumber problems for programs with multiple ‘ON’ statements
- Problems with importing/generating PI and other characters.
- Some characters missing from import.
- Screen Code tool:
- CBM key would lock sometimes.
- General:
- Code snippets had to be re-generated.
- ‘Go to’ dialog crash with large files.
- ‘Go to’ dialog caused weird zooming issues.
- Issues with selected columns of text.
- Problems with compress/uncompress with some control codes.
See the help for a complete list of new features and fixed bugs.
Note In this version, each target machine can have its own default project directory. If you are upgrading from a previous version (before version 2.5.1) of CBM prg Studio you may be asked to set up your project directories again. Your current projects will not be affected.

Ikari has released a new firmware for the SD2Snes Flash Cartridge (Super Nintendo/Famicom). The upgrade instructions can be found here.
Changelog:
- SuperFX support by RedGuy! This is the duck’s guts. What an accomplishment. Big thanks to RedGuy!
- EXPERIMENTAL brightness patching for S-CPUN based consoles (1CHIP/Jr). The patching is comprised of two parts:
- 1CHIP transient fix – tries to alleviate some graphical issues with 1CHIP consoles where it reacts unfavorably to sudden changes to the brightness register. This fixes the shadow in Air Strike Patrol, warped scanlines in Rudra’s Treasure, and faded scanlines at the top of the screen on certain Capcom games when the console is equipped with a de-ghosting fix involving the replacement of the C11 capacitor.
- Brightness limit – can be used to limit brightness on consoles where the stock RGB levels are too high.
- NOTE: There are known problems with games that use DMA to set the brightness register. Notably Star Fox and some MSU1 video players. You should disable it if you intend to play those. For now I’m releasing it as is because I still think it can be useful (and I’ll be gone for two weeks and didn’t want to delay this release any further :-D)
- Added ExLoROM support (LoROM > 32Mbits)
- The In-game hook is now disabled by default.
- Touched up the menu a bit – dependent settings are printed in grey if the higher-level setting is disabled
- Changed the version numbering by eliminating the eternal leading zero. The last digit can now be used for small revisions or fixes.
Some minor fixes are still outstanding which I will address in a couple of weeks after I have returned from vacation.
