Wood, the Portuguese developer who ported the Speccie game ‘Uwol: Quest for Money’ to the C64 is almost done with his conversion of the rather obscure title, Nanako in Classic Japanese Monster Castle.

In this game you control Nanako, the game consists of 25 levels, you have to climb one level to another level in the castle and offcourse, there are some baddies.

Let me spare you the details of the background story, but Nanako … looks like a very original platform game.

The CodeNet Client it can be used to transfer PRG files directly into the memory of the C64 and also allows some other actions like filling memory and ofcourse starting a program with RUN or a jump to a defined memory address.

The CodeNet protocol is a very simple protocol to send data and executables to a C64 computer via ethernet. A CodeNet server is normally listening on UDP port 6462.

Changelog:

v0.3 (6.11.10):

• Added: Better network error handling.

Contiki is a small, open source, highly portable, multitasking computer operating system developed for use on a number of memory-constrained networked systems ranging from 8-bit computers to embedded systems on microcontrollers, including sensor network motes.

The name Contiki comes from Thor Heyerdahl’s famous Kon-Tiki raft.

The Contiki 2.x contains only very little assembler coding and even less target-specific assembler coding. This allowed for easy porting to targets beside the C64 namely the C128 and Apple II. Porting to other cc65 targets wasn’t done due to missing Ethernet hardware.

Contiki 2.4 is the first 2.x release to contain the following programs:

• Dhcp client.
• Web server.
• Web browser.
• Wget.
• Smtp client.
• IRC client.
• Twitter client.

Beside lots of other improvement especially the following issues were fixed:

• Malfunctioning DNS lookup.
• Missing PETSCII conversion for the smtp credentials.
• Incorrect fixing of all disk I/O to drive 8.

iAN CooG Site has been update with a new version of the Generic C64 prg Unpacker v2.23 (Source included).

History:

v2.23 – 2010.06.12 – 2010.07.30

• Found a Time cruncher hack expecting registers set by JSR $FD15 ($31/$30/$ff), now it’s handled correctly in pass 1.
• In verbose mode, now also number of iterations and total cycles taken by the simulated CPU are printed, just to see which is the slowest&fastest unpacker.
• Raised max iterations to support VERY intensive unpackers like ALZ64, worst testcase I found needs 27097007 (0x019D77AF) iterations to finish unpacking. This cruncher isn’t really meant for crunching programs ranging from $0801 to $ff00 due to its slowness, but still has to be supported even when abused =) New max value is set to 0×02000000, should be more than enough for anything that actually reaches end of unpacking, and won’t cause too much delay with programs that can’t be really unpacked or with endless loops.
