CBM-Command è un disk manager per Commodore 64 / 128 / VIC20 / PET e Commodore C16. L’interfaccia ricorda il vecchio Norton Commander / Midnight Commander. L’interfaccia grafica del CBM-Command per ovvi motivi risulta più semplice ma perfettamente integrata nel sistema operativo. La versione per Commodore 128 puo’ girare anche a 80 colonne.

Release Notes – Version 2.3 Final

This is the final release for CBM-Command Version 2.3. What happened to version 2.2? Well, cc65 went through several breaking changes and I wanted to make a clear delineation that this version of CBM-Command isn’t a simple fix and recompile of the last version 2.2.

New Features:

• Provides Side-By-Side panels or Top-And-Bottom panels on 40-column systems.
• Batch disk image creation.
• User can select drive or partition number.
• The disks have a little BASIC-language program that can update your configuration files.

Known Issues:

• It can trigger the write-and-replace bug.
• It can’t create or write back D80 and D82 images.
• The REL-file copier doesn’t truncate old target files that have the same record size as the new file.
• It will try to copy DEL files if they are selected.
• Errors don’t stop batch operations; the file is skipped.

Ci spiace, ma questo articolo è disponibile soltanto in English.

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 / VIC-20 o PET.

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:

• Screen RAM viewer for debugger.
• Ignore/truncate REM statements during code generation switch.
• Project comments.
• The character editor’s scratch pad can be imported to the screen editor.
• Save/load configuration settings.
• Import multicolour bitmaps into the sprite editor.
• Export binary files from the character editor.
• Much improved BASIC and assembly generation time.

See the help for a complete list of bug fixed.

Con ASAP Music Player si torna indietro di 20 anni, dato che si possono ascoltare le musiche dell’Atari 8-bit su Windows / Mobile (Android) /Linux. ASAP emula in modo perfetto il chip audio POKEY e il processore 6502.

Il progetto era inizialmente basato sulle routine utilizzate dall’emulatore Atari800, ma la versione attuale ha un core di emulazione completamente nuovo.

Changelog ASAP 3.1.5 (2013-08-17):

• Android: fixed playback on Android 4.1+, disconnecting headset pauses playback, updates position and avoids “process not responding” during seek, starts in root directory if there’s no memory card.
• GStreamer plugin gets autoplugged (read: SAPs play in GStreamer-based players).
• WASAP plays music to its very end.
• Fixed crash on malformed RMT files.
• Restored Audacious 2.x compatibility.
• DEB packages.
• foobar2000 `*.fb2k-component` package.

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.

Release notes for the HxCFloppyEmulator software v2.0.16.0:

• FAT12 Loader/generator : Files size, disk size & disk free size displayed, lots of sanity checks added.
