SHO-FLI Converter – (C) 2009 Algorithm / Algotech

SHO-FLI (Sprite Hires Overlay FLI / Sprite Overlay Hires FLI) è una modalita’ grafica del c64 con delle caratteristiche piuttosto interessanti.

Funziona esattamente come la modalità SHFLI ma l’immagine è più ampia a causa della sovrapposizione con 1 sprite (piuttosto che due in SHFLI), questa modalita’ grafica è conosciuta anche come SHF-XL originariamente inventata da Crossbow / Crest.

XUM1541 – The fast C64 floppy USB adapter

The xum1541 (pronounced “zoom”) is built from a modified version of the xu1541 firmware. It is a USB full speed device and supports high-speed parallel cables. The hardware USB support significantly speeds up transfers. It will support mnib (aka nibtools), which provides low-level imaging to backup copy protected disks.

I’m most excited about this feature since it is critical to archiving original floppies for the C64 Preservation Project.

The ultimate cartridge for your Commodore Vic-20

Mega-Cart’s Gallery

The Mega-Cart’s incredible selection of auto-starting games and handy utilities, coupled with its software-configurable RAM expansion capability, will provide you with hours of fun and discovery.

Yet, despite the immense power and complexity “under the hood” of the Mega-Cart it remains easy to use because of the intuitive all menu-driven selection system.

SJLOAD C64/C64Dtv Fast Loader

SJLOAD is a C64/C64DTV software fastloader. Its main difference from normal fastloaders is that it only works with Jiffy-enabled drives and uses the Jiffy protocol. This makes it handy for people who have a Jiffy-enabled drive (also new hardware such as SD2IEC) but do not want to make the hardware changes necessary for exchanging the C64 kernal.

SJLOAD speed is a bit higher than normal Jiffy since SJLOAD uses the same protocol but a different implementation (it disables the VICII during load etc.). With an SD2IEC, SJLOAD is about 15% faster than a normal Jiffy kernal.

SJLOAD is loosely based on VDOS (1986) by Edward Carroll. However, the fast loading routines have been replaced completely by 1570.
