L’interfaccia ‘HxC Floppy Drive Emulator‘ è un sistema hardware e software creato da jfdn aka Jeff.
L’obiettivo di questo progetto è quello di sostituire l’unità floppy disk con un dispositivo elettronico che emula il floppy drive (lista dell’hardware supportato).
Esistono due interfaccie di emulazione:
- Una versione USB che permette di collegare l’interfaccia floppy disk drive del computer a un PC tramite un cavo USB.
- Una versione SDCARD che permette di emulare i floppy disk tramite le immagini memorizzate su una SDCARD.
Firmware SD HxCFloppyEmulator v1.7.1.2:
- Drive A <> Drive B constant polling issue corrected (Atari ST).
- Better SD Card error handling.
Firmware SD HxCFloppyEmulator v1.7.1.1:
- New embedded setting menu : To access this menu remove the SDCard and press the select button.
- By this menu you can:
- Change the floppy Interface mode.
- Change the bitrate.
- Change the track step mode.
- Enable/disable the drive B.
- Enable/disable the step sound.
- Set the user interface sound volume.
- Set the backlight timing.
- Set the standby timing.
- Check the software and bootloader version (integrity test included).
- Clear/reset the settings and reset the Emulator.
- Exit this menu…
- SD Card: Issue with some sd card corrected : Incompatibility with some SD chipset corrected.
- Write support: Timing for MFM / FM 250/300/500KBits/s write support readjusted. DataMark supported : 0xFB,0xF8 (deleted data mark), 0xFA,0xF9. HFE file format enhanced : Track 0 Side 0 & Track 0 Side 1 track write mode can be different from the others tracks.
- New track seek algorithm: Faster track seek/settle time -> Faster Loading time !
- Flip disk function: the disk image can now be flipped (reverse side 0<->side 1).
- Bad track number at power up corrected (E-mu Emulator I/II, SP1200, Linn/Forat 9000…)
- Experimental “Rev2″ HFE support : Correct some issue with some Amiga games/demos.
- Lots of internals code optimization…

E’ stato rilasciato il nuovo firmware per la SD2Snes Flash Cartridge (Super Nintendo/Famicom) di Ikari. Le istruzioni per l’aggiornamento le potete trovare here.
Changelog:
- SPC Player (contributed by necronomfive/blargg)
- System Information screen now shows CPU/PPU revision (contributed by necronomfive)
- Satellaview: basic data transmission packet support (makes some more games boot, thanks to LuigiBlood for assistance and sample data packets)
- Number of supported files increased to 50000 per card / 16380 per directory.
- Slight speedup of menu text rendering.
- Reduce load time of menu.
- Adjust Cx4 timing to be more faithful (Mega Man now defeats the boss in attract mode in Mega Man X2)
- adapt ROM mirroring size to file size if header information is invalid (fixes Super Noah’s Ark 3D, possibly others)
- MSU1 interface changes suggested by byuu:
- Data offset 0 and audio track 0 are automatically requested on reset. This causes the busy flags to become 0 shortly after reset/startup.
- $2000 bit 3 is now “audio error”, becomes valid after “audio busy” -> 0 set when an error occurred while preparing playback of the requested audio track write LED stays on when SRAM content changes constantly.
- Fixes:
- fix empty save files on FAT16 / incorrect free cluster count on FAT32.
- correct directory sorting (force parent directory at top of list)
- fix text corruption when entering a directory with a scrollable name.
- fix files/dirs count in system information.
- make ‘sd2snes’ directory hiding case-insensitive.
- improve DAC I²S timing.
- fix occasional palette corruption in menu.
- fix SD clock glitch on ROM loading (occasional glitches/crashes)
- fix memory write timing on ROM loading (occasional glitches/crashes)
- fix SPI timing (ROMs not loading; System Information not working)
- properly synchronize SNES control signals (occasional glitches/crashes)
- fix floating IRQ output (occasional glitches/slowdowns)

E’ stata rilasciata una nuova versione del programma CBM prg Studio. Ci sono un sacco di nuove funzionalità e fix in questa versione e sono sempre gradite le segnalazioni di bug o suggerimenti/commenti.
CBM prg Studio e’ un kit di sviluppo che gira in ambiente Windows e vi permette di programmare in Commodore Basic e Linguaggio Macchina(LM), il programma potrà poi essere compilato in un file eseguibile “.PRG” per Commodore 64 o VIC-20.
La suite è anche completa di un ottimo sprite editor che permette di definire fino a 128 pattern, nonché di un funzionale char editor, che permette di avere una gestione completa e sotto controllo della procedura per la ridefinizione del charset interno al C64 e al Vic20.
Infine il CBM prg Studio, offre una completo e facile controllo della complessa gestione della tastiera del C64 e Vic20 ed in particolare dei caratteri PETSCII che contraddistinguevano le macchine sotto il marchio Commodore e che rappresentavano una chiave fondamentale per la programmazione in ambiente Basic, alla stregua di un vero e proprio macro linguaggio.
CBM prg Studio sostituisce le ormai obsolete Tools: C64PrgGen e VIC20PrgGen.
New Features in v2.4.0:
- Screen designer and character editor extended to use the C16 and Plus/4′s larger colour palette.
- Build can now be cancelled.
- Some speed improvements.
- Improved invalid label detection.
- Relaxed restriction on mono-spaced only fonts (use with care!)
- Auto-completion added (labels, variables and macros) for assembly programs.
- Column selection in code editor.
Major bugs fixed:
- Assembly code reformatting tool.
- Loading char/screen/sprite files from the project explorer when the file has been moved/deleted.
- Start page crash for missing/moved projects/files.
- Screen Code Builder:cbm+numerics only works with mouse on virtual keyboard.
- Project open/save crash if project explorer window closed.
- Project tick in view menu occasionally missing.
- Occasional crash when opening sprite file in new project.
- PI symbol/keyword incorrect.
- Detect macro definition with no macro name. Previously would just report ‘preprocessor error’
- Selected memory in viewer should fill in start end address in save.
- End address of selected memory in viewer was sometimes wrong.
- Removed start address from basic programs generated to memory.
- Certain instructions not being optimised (zero page) properly.
- Tidied up the label dump after a build. Long labels were being bunched up.
