A 10 rasterline musiceditor on C64, contains quite powerful step-programming capabilities but isn’t especially easy to use, so approach with caution... As usual, sourcecode included.

Individual Computers has released the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper. It's a PCI board for modern PCs, MACs and the new computers AmigaOne and Pegasos. It even comes with a SID chip! Very very cool stuff indeed!

The Catweasel MK3 has an option to use the original soundchip of the Commodore 64, also known as SID (Sound Interface Device). This part of the board has been carefully designed in order to produce exactly the same sound that the C-64 produced.

To bring the real feeling of the old games to new computers, the Catweasel MK3 has two connectors for so-called digital joysticks. This is the type of joystick that has been used by many computers of the 80s like C-64, VIC-20, Atari and Amiga. The connector was the same on all these computers: A 9-pin Sub-D. Analog joysticks of that time (so-called paddles) can also be used.

Hello!

I am searching for any kind of information and/or material (including the original hardware) about the floppy speeder "Professional DOS" from Mikrotronic (also known as "Professional 1541 DOS", DiskDemon sold by Datel in the UK or RapidDOS Pro from Chip Level Designs located in North America; later it was sold as "mikrotronic system professional" in the US by Mikrotronic Michigan, Inc.).
Professional DOS was (or is) the fastest floppy speeder for the Commodore 64/128 (D) and it's disk-drives 1541, 1541C, 1570 and 1571 (e.g. 202 Blocks are read in about 3 seconds). Unfortunatly it was not very well known, but I think it?s one of the best speeder ever.

For more informations about Professional DOS see d81.de/ProfessionalDOS (thanks to Wolfgang Moser). In the near future, I will publish some information about this system on my own website (in German only, sorry - are there any volunteers who can help me with a translation?).

If you are able to help me, please send your e-mail to: tischuer@yahoo.de (please give me a short note before sending huge archives or any other stuff to my e-mail account).

Many thanks and best regards,

Remember the web boards like Spankerz Heaven by Burglar/Scs&Trc or Second to None by Dave/Legend?
Well, something better is coming!

Making a C64 BBS on the web - properly - is a matter of emulating a real C64 BBS as accurately as possible. Like how an emulator emulates a C64 for example. Another main factor is the administration and users. The ?feel? of a real C64 BBS (which only old board callers would truely know) may also occur on this upcoming project.

The new web bbs will be EXACTLY like the old boards, based on the popular C*Base outfit.

Code and graphics are already fully underway.

The project team so far are: Jazzcat, Shok?ray, Jucke, Macx and Uzzy. The site will also various graphics from Chameleon and several others.

I am collecting BBS ?buffers? and gfx from the old days, so if you have any, or any suggestions in general, please email me.

We have no time-frame on the project, but hopefully we can get it online in the next coming month or two.

The C64 Inventory (http://c64inventory.cyberocio.net) is a site with the goal of having an inventory of all existing C64s.

"The list" of existing C64 units catalogued in this site has reached 50 units and even surpassed that number.

It’s very far from the estimated 20.000.000 units sold around the world, but the webmaster thinks that the efforts of people that has taken care of send their C64 pictures to the site is much valuable than how many will be listed.

Anyway take a look there and see by yourself how different users from different locations of the world are featured there.

Today a new version of sidplay2/w has been released. The main new feature is support for RSID files in libsidplay2.

RSID is a new file format, soon to be introduced in the High Voltage SID Collection. It is meant for tunes that play on a c64 but not on a ?classic? SID emulator, like PlaySID or any emulator based on libsidplay1. Examples include sample tunes that have not been converted to PlaySID sample format, non-interrupt based players, etc.

RSID files are just like PSID files, only the header id has been changed from ?PSID? to ?RSID? so that old players will safely reject them. This is because they would hang or crash old players.

Today I have some not so nice information for you: I now stopped this German-language newssite for good.

After I paused working on the homepage for some time last year, I have to face my calendar once more: I simply miss the time to keep taking care of this site.

All in all I can look back with joy and a bit of pride over the last years. It all started with 2 MB webspace at a little provider here in town. After some time the site grew to a pretty decent database for the most different news from the C64-world.

About 14.000 users visited us a month. We collected almost 700 news-items and in the end we had almost the same amount of registered users.

With this I would like to thank all helpers once more who took part at this site, even if it was for a such a short time. I would also like to thank all visitors and news-writers for their support because without you the best homepage does not have much sense.

Now there is only one thing left to say: Take care and keep your tail up ... ah yeah ... and remain loyal to the C64 ;)

Version 1.1 of the cross platform c64 cruncher Exomizer has been released. As usual the release includes linux and win32 executables, decruncher assembler source code and full source code for the Exomizer itself. Highlights of the changes from the 1.0 release are: built in decruncher, support for c16/plus4 computers and a 4 byte shorter decruncher. However, there is no difference in crunch results. That will have to wait for the next major release. As always it is available for download over at the excellent Covert Bitops site in the tools section but now also from the great c16/plus4 site Plus/4 World.

The third issue of the German-language magazine Lotek64 is now finished and will be printed and shipped next week according to the plan. Lotek64 #03 offers some little innovations based on suggestions from the readers:

- More C64: Lotek64 will publish more on the Commodore 64 in future. Anyhow other systems are not going to be neglected, they don’t want to be a C64-only-magazine. From now on, reports from the C64-scene will slip in the magazine, further more a series about old CD-gameconsoles is in preparation. A series about the Macintosh is planned for 2003.

- Readers’ letters: From now on there’s a readers’ letters corner. How much space is going to be used for readers’ letters is declared open for discussion.

- More size: Issue 03 was extended by 4 pages to 24 pages. Whether future-issues can be released in the same size is up on several factors: a.) shipping-costs will go up probably, b.) higher printing-costs c.) and number/value of donations to compansate that; but also d.) the number of contributions they will receive.

- More pictures: Although a certain amount of text should remain, more pictures are going to be used in future, depending on availability. The current issue has more than 100 illustrations.

About the contents:
C64: ROLE-story, interview with Commander/ROLE, partyreports (VISION Party, Commodore Meeting Vienna, ROLE-Party), review: Singles Collection 1, new series: diskmags (part 1: Input64 + ArachnoPhobia). Galaksija-story + interview with Voja Antonic, game-remakes (Ports of Call, Cataball/Hopping Mad), game-reviews (suprise!), fair-report: O.A.S.E. 02 and some other surprises.

It is held in the same time period 8.-22. october 2002, with one exception: all c64 music editors are allowed.

That means: GoatTracker, CyberTracker and John Player. DMC, JCH-ed., SID DUZZ'IT, et cetera.

I doubt any of you are interested, but what the heck. A new game has been uploaded on to the TND web site. It?s a small crap game called "Power Surge", which was originally written for the Crap Game Compo 2001, but sadly it did not make it to the compo, due to forgetfulness. Anyway, you can download the game and please try to enjoy it.

One more thing. If any of you crackers are going to first release this game, please, no fake labels and no nasty comments either.

Hello there,

After we announced that the next HVSC Update, Update #33, would contain SID files that would require Sidplay2 or a real C64 to run them correctly (and would crash older SID emulators) concern was expressed at the fact that the crashes with older SID emulators would not be appreciated by the users, despite the fact that in most cases there’d be a PSID equivalent rip.,

After some discussion, it has been decided that the best way to include real C64 sample rips (or any other rip that requires such things as real-time non-interrupt based playback) is to make a slight change and introduce a modified PSIDv2NG file format for these - which will be known as RSID.,

RSID is bascially the same specification as PSIDv2NG except for the following:,

* - The header will say RSID instead of PSID. This will be enough for older SID emulators (for example, anything based on Sidplay1-type emulation) to safely reject these SID files without crashing them. * - Certain fields, namely load, play, speed, and the PSID-specific flag, will be reserved and set to 0.,

What this will mean also is that anything using Sidplay2-based emulation will also operate a strict C64 environment for these files. Please note that RSID should only be used _if_ the SID file will crash older SID emulators.,

Sidplay2 is being worked on at the moment to support this format and this is in beta-testing at the moment, similarly the rippers’ tool PSIDedit will be known as SIDedit in future, and this tool is also being beta-tested as we speak. There will also be changes to the HVSC Update Tool to accomodate this too.,

What this will mean is that the scheduled date for the update release will be put back slightly, but I am sure you will agree that the wait will be worth it. To play C64 samples like they were intended to be? This has to be a positive.,

Kind regards The HVSC Team

On Saturday 19 October we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Commodore 64 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Trefpunt building, Kerkweg 21 in Maarssen, Netherlands. On exhibition will be several C= computers - KIM-1, CBM8032, CBM720, PET 2001, a SuperPet, a golden C64, VC20, VIC-20, C16, C116, Plus/4, C64GS, C65, SX-64, and many more, including some special peripherals. Also there will be a C= flea market and a C64 video-demo (shown using a video projector).

Marcel Donn? and Alistair "Boz" Bowness (www.c64retro.com) will give SID music demonstrations. There are other demonstrations; for example, we will show the C64 on the Internet through the use of the SuperCPU, the Wave and Wheels. We are expecting some very special guests to attend like John Vanderaart (a famous commercial Dutch gameprogammer), Petro Tytschtschenko and Marvin Droogsma (Amiga-scene). There will be plenty of newspaper, radio, and/or television press coverage. Admission is free.

You can get our original Tape Mastering System for the C-64 that we used to create the Master Tapes for UBI Soft?s ?IRON LORD? and for Demonware?s Gem?X. The Power behind that Tape Loading System is not only to play music and animations during loading time - no, no ... it also has a complete REWIND / FORWARD and FLIP TAPE management based on timers. It calculates the time to access a special position on tape and stops the motor at this special point and tells you f.e. to PRESS STOP and PLAY again.
