 HyperLink 2.5e released 16:17
HyperLink 2.5e, the most current version of the HyperLink web browser and document viewer for the Commodore 64 and 128, has now been officially released. This new version has several important enhancements:

* Integrated 128 fastbooter -- fastboot HL2.5e in as little as 1 / 3rd the time as the 64 version using a 1571, 1581 or other burst-capable drive.

* Configure can now run from 128 mode.

* New DOS wedge (press @), same commands as DOS 5.1 (including directory with $).

* Significantly optimized and revamped decode and display logic, meaning both web pages and on-disk documents display much quicker, screen refreshes are faster, and wait time for redraw before you can follow a link is much reduced.

* On-disk inline images can be toggled off "permanently" (CTRL-I) or on the fly (hold down the Commodore key).

* Multiple bug fixes, including improved SuperCPU compatibility.

The official HyperLink page is www.armory.com/%7Espectre/cwi/hl.

 New design/content for ONSLAUGHT website! 15:05
After two years, a new layout for Forbidden Depths has been released.

Two months of work with new layout and design by DJB and expanded and new content by Jazzcat. The site now hosts much more and is far quicker that the previous versions.

Trivia is that Jazzcat visited DJB for the first time in 13+ years, also TBH and Patto. So we decided what a more better time to finish and launch the site!

Enjoy and reactions please!
 HardSID PCI has been released 10:21
The successor of our popular HardSID ISA is ready to ship now. HardSID PCI has the best sound quality and software support on the market. It is the best solution for listening C64 SID music, playing games and demos with the original sound and it is the most serious SID based MIDI synthesizer after the HardSID Quattro PCI.

 PROTOVISION - new games info 14:37

Please help supporting new C64 games by putting any of them on your own homepage. Thanks a lot!

If you can read German, you should check out Big User?s Protovision Site - Courage?s new game TANKS 3000 got an own section there now.
 James Fly "100%" version released 14:31
In late October, emu64.pl was one of the first to present the full version of the Polish game James Fly. It was written by Jakub (Prezes, ex. Butt-Man) Wozniakowski and released under the Samar label. It?s a nice platform game, really worth playing.

Unfortunatly, nobody of the Polish guys who saw the news at emu64.pl seemed to care spreading the word themselves. I (MacGyver) was busy elsewise, so this news is coming here a bit late.

Download.

However, it?s more complicated: even though the news item from emu64.pl, according to Ramos / Samar, states it?s the full version, Prezes - the main coder of the game - claims that the game was never finished and the full version doesn?t exist.

It appears that it?s just an updated version since it has a few more features in comparison to the version released by Hitmen in 1997, like: a bigger game-area, tunnels, possibility to finish the game by collecting some amount of points or reaching some point on the map, limited lives, 2 cracker-protections included and maybe some more improvements...

Quite some time ago, Wow+Role released a version of James Fly which seems to be (almost) identical to the "100%" version...

In fact, neither of us have contact with the creators whatsoever. Almost all what is written above is based on the comments posted at emu64.pl and this is basically everything we know.

Statements from Prezes, Ramos and any other involved person are warmly welcome.

 OY2K3CDC-Page uploaded 22:53

 CSDb problems the last week 16:01
I keep getting questions about what is happening to CSDb so now I?ll write down the whole story.

CSDb has for the last 2 year been hosted for free by my former emplyee on a comercial server with 24 / 7 surveilance.
Last wednesday some jerk decided that he wanted a copy of ALL pages in CSDb and started leeching. This caused a major load on the server and all the mobile phones at the people who are monitoring the server started beeping.
Because of this it was decided that CSDb should be moved to a non comercial server. This was done very fast and without any check from their side (which I can?t blame them for since I don?t pay them anything. :) ) so a lot of things were not working correctly.
As I found the bugs I mailed them to the admin of the new server and hoped they would fix it. After a day or so they tried to fix one problem but didn?t really bother to check if CSDb really worked (again no blame). So it was up to me again to check that, and when I found out that it still didn?t work sent another mail.
But NOW everything should be fixed - I hope.

If anyone experience some weird errors on CSDb which are continuesly (happens again and again) please pass it on (mail it or post here), and I?ll fix it / send another mail.

Perff / NoName, CSDb Admin

PS.
CSDb is hosted by: http://pil.dk

 Two new DOS Wedge EPROMs available 12:13
For those still battling without a DOS wedge, two new EPROM chips are now available for the C64. Instead of typing in long commands, you can now use the @ and @$ commands to communicate with your Disk Drive and/or 64HDD machine - great for those who don't have JiffyDOS! The EPROMs come configured with both standard CBM and Kernal++ (switchable). There is even a version supporting PowerLoad for 64HDD.

Info and pricing in the 64HDD Shop.

If you need a 24-to-28pin adaptor this is also available from the shop, or follow the "build it yourself" instructions on the 64HDD website.

 CML - New 64 Browser w/Markup Language 06:23
(CML) Commodore Markup Language

This is a new browser client/server setup for the ?64.
(Requires the TelBBS setup) While this is in infant
stages, the program is a browser for the 64 that
uses it?s own type of "HTML"

The program goals include the ability to take
advantage of SPRITES, SID, etc. using standard webservers
to create a Q-Link type community to which all can contribute.
