CBM prg Studio Version 3.5.0 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.

New features in v3.8.0:

• Assembler:
  • Logical operators.
  • Code relocation.
  • Watch labels/addresses.
  • Local character mapping.

• Screen Editor:
  • More export options.
  • Change border colour.

• Sprite Editor:
  • Multiple layers for preview.
  • Invert sprite.

• General:
  • Load VICE palettes.
  • Open a command line.

Bugs Fixed:

• General:
  • Remember ‘close start page’ state.

• Sprite editor:
  • Imported sprites had the same data.
  • Select mode on scratch pad didn’t work.

• Screen code builder:
  • Left arrow generated wrong code.

• Character editor:
  • Export characters as hexadecimal.
  • Multicolour chars flip left/right not working.

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.

DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI application designed to help Commodore enthusiasts explore and manage their disk image collections.

DirMaster supports common (and uncommon) emulator disk image formats (such as .d64, .d81, .d2m, etc), almost every native Commodore archival format (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc), and many native graphic formats (such as koala, doodle, amica, etc).

DirMaster was designed to give users a perfect blend of familiar appearance (e.g. natural looking disk image contents using the PETSCII character set) and modern GUI functionality (e.g. drag and drop, opening multiple disk images at once). The first version of DirMaster was released in 2006.

v3.1.1 addresses a few bugs reported by users:

• Issue opening NAT partitions (.dhd)
• .dhd performance (no md5, .dhd BAM)
• Horizontal BAM display (.d71)
• Disk initialization when unzipping a 1-4! zipcode set when dragged from Explorer.
