 Contiki 1.1-rc0 released 20:29
Contiki version 1.1-rc0 is out! Contiki is a cross-platform, open source, Internet-enabled operating system and desktop environment for the unexpanded Commodore 64 and for a variety of other platforms. Contiki includes a graphical windowing system, TCP/IP networking, a multi-tasking kernel, a web server, a web browser, and a bunch of other goodies:

http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/

This C64 version is a "release candidate" of the upcoming 1.1 release, which means that not all features of the 1.1 version is in there, but that most of the main functionality is in place.

See the change-log for details on what has changed, or go directly to the download page.

Covert BitOps have released their game Metal Warrior 4 earlier this month. It is the final part of the Metal Warrior series. Ian, the protagonist of the first game thought he had wielded a gun for the last time, but after an otherworldly encounter he is compelled to become an agent to hunt for the hidden truth...
You can download this game for free here.
Incase you are not able to transfer it to C64 disk yourself, you can order the game from Protovision on 1541, 1581 or FD-2000 disk.

Thanks to individual Computers, the Retro Replay cartridge is available again!
Additionally, some cases for the Retro Replay cartridge have been manufactured and are available in transparent, blue and black.
Even better, the networking card RR-Net is now available! This card plugs into the expansion port of the Retro Replay, and allows the C64 to connect to an intranet.

Metal Warrior 4 (2 Euro), the Retro Replay cartridge (55 Euro), RR cases (transparent & black: 5 Euro each, blue: 6 Euro) and RR-Net (50 Euro) can be ordered from Protovision now. A great offer is the RR-Net Bundle (consisting of Retro Replay, RR-Net with Contiki & a transparent case) for only 100 Euro! All prices include shipping within Europe. More information about Metal Warrior 4 and RR-Net will be available at the Protovision Homepage soon.

 New release: DemoAmp, the demo player for VICE 23:26
DemoAmp is like the well known WinAmp - but it does not play music. Instead, DemoAmp plays, well, Demos. You can comfortably define which demos you want DemoAmp to play, and the program calls one demo after the other. Of course, DemoAmp is not a Commodore 64 emulator. It uses VICE to show the demos. It is kind of a remote control for VICE. It is not restricted on demos only - you can make it play every kind of software that you got in a D64 file and that does need only basic interaction. "Basic" means you can send keystrokes (you often need to press the joystick button or SPACE to get to another part of a demo) but you cannot emulate cursor control via joystick, for example. See www.editorix.org/congo/ for more info, download the ZIP at www.editorix.org/congo/demoamp.zip or see how DemoAmp looks at www.editorix.org/congo/demoamp.jpg
 Introducing dotView! 21:25
I have created beta version B0.3 of dotView recently. This utility runs on the Wheels (GEOS) OS and enables the user to view 4-Bit files that were created by GoDot or ConGo. The newest version can now handle clip files, which can be as small as 8x8 pixels all the way to 2040x2040 pixels in size.

Check out dotView at: www.geocities.com/eyethian2000/dotview.html

Enjoy!
 New CD - Martin Galway: "Project Galway" 11:36
This is a double audio CD picture disc with a 12-page colour booklet. The two CDs feature a total of 34 C64-tunes by Martin Galway, all recorded from Martin's own original Commodore-64 machine. Quite a novel idea. Why?

Well, there's a lot more information about it on this page: www.lynnemusic.com/project-galway.html, so if this tickles your interest, then head on over there and read the track listing, the background information, etc.
 Numen by Taquart - source code released 11:32
The source of probably the best demo ever created for an 8-bit Atari NUMEN has been released lately. As far as I know, the Atari has the same processor instructions as the C64 and that makes this source quite interesting for the C64 coders too. Maybe someone of the C64 coders finds the pack stuffed with sources interesting as a reference. I find important to mention that this outstanding demo needs a stock Atari XL/XE machine + at least 320 KB RAM to run. That almost asks for answer from math coders using C64 ram-expansion units. ;-) (Don?t take my last note too seriously, though).

But even non GEOS parts will be staged as like a little Bombmania competition or anything similar. As known from the last years meetings the dinner on Saturday is free for all members, all others can join for just 19 EUR. There is NO other charge or entry fee for the whole party!!!

 ?Demo Collector Crew? 20:09
Anyone interested in starting ?a Crew? that collects demos ?
I know some individuals with a good demo collection (Zyron, Jack Alien, Acidchild, Graham, Iopop, me, ...)
It?s impossible for me (and for all other demo-collecting-individuals) to do it all by ourselfs.
I suggest that we use CSDB to centralise all info (releases, dates, additional info,...) and upload the stuff so that everyone can take benefit from it.
We can make a mailinglist to discuss the releases and the info we found before it is uploaded to CSDB.
If you are (seriously!) interested and / or have suggestions then mail me. If there?s not enough interest I will ofcourse go on by myself for myself :/
 Hokuto Force Releases - temp mirror 14:55

 C64 game solutions as a video file 18:06
Under www.c64-longplays.de.vu there is a new site where you can download solutions for old C64 games as a complete video file.

Be patient while you download the files, they are on a private server hosted by myself and the download rate can fluctuate between 1 to 30 kb/s.
Also just four people can download the files at the same time because I want to keep the download times endurable.

You can find a tutorial for making your own game videos in our forum. We would be happy if anyone helps us with new video longplays.
 GoatTracker V1.4c 15:44
Goattracker (both mono and stereo versions) was updated for better hardrestart handling (wavetable also executed on hardrestart frame) and possibility for manual fadein/out of music. Of course, these features pay the price in increased rastertime but if you want it really low, you?re using some other programs anyway :)

 Lotek64 #07 14:34
Lotek64 #07 (September 2003) is finished at last!

Contents

Interview with Hades6510 about the Turkish C64 scene / Competition Pro repair tips / C64 cruncher test 2003 / Digital Talk - interview with Champ / Atari Jaguar CD / Dogma 2001: new rules for computer games? / Large overview: game makers & construction kits / Game Over for WDR computer club / RePlay: Tau Ceti / 23 (DVD).

Release

A part of the run already has been printed. Lord Lotek is confident that he can send out all copies later this week. Because of the new rates of the Austrian post, this has to happen all at once, since it will be charged by weight and single sendings are way too expensive.

As it took a bit longer this time, the PDF version is available before the printed version as an exception. Download it from c64-mags.de.

Lotek64 on Austrian radio

On 1st August the Austrian radio station FM4 broadcasted a short report about the retro computing scene, based on Lotek64. The responsible editor, Robert Glash?ttner, released a detailed report on the FM4 site aswell. Check it out here .

Request for help

Wanted are dealers, websites etc., where cheap cables / spare parts / accessories for the C64 and other old computers can be obtained. If enough hints arrive, Lotek64 could release a list (on a regular base).

Small preview

In fact it’s too early to talk about issue 8. What can be revealed: A focus on music is beeing planned, the themes Gameboy and SID are already covered. If you have any more ideas, don’t hesitate to tell them!

For more information about Lotek64 contact Lord Lotek or visit the relaunched Lotek64 Homepage.

Special thanks to Magnate / Obsession for fixing bugs and testing. You now have 162 tunes in total which weren't published on the internet before.

 Retro Replay and RR-Net available 22:02
In time with the announced date, the new production run of the Retro Replay is finished. Compared to the old cartridges, only cosmetic changes have been made:
The most significant change is the colour: Blue instead of black. After many requests by users, the jumpers are now mounted straight, not to the side. To ensure proper mounting in our new cases, the mounting hole has been moved and changed in diameter to perfectly fit the transparent cases.



At the same time, the networking card RR-Net is going on sale. The card is plugged to the expansion port of the Retro Replay, and allows connecting the C64 to an intranet.
Although the operating system Contiki is freeware, we have an agreement with the author Adam Dunkels: He gets paid for every RR-Net unit that?s sold. Contiki is an operating system that offers many features in very small space: A TCP/IP stack, a web browser, a webserver, a VNC-client and of course a graphical user interface. It is included on a 5,25 inch disk for the C64. To make use of all features of Contiki, an intranet with router should be available.


As an introductory offer, there?s a network-bundle. It contains:


  • Retro Replay
  • RR-Net with Contiki
  • transparent case
  • worldwide shipment


  • together for only 100,- EUR!


    Please use the contact form at our website for your order. Unfortunately, our domain ami.ga does not work at the moment, because the republic of Gabon is currently migrating their internet connection from satellite to undersea cable. Even with our server in Germany, both the website and email addresses are affected, but the contact form works reliably!

    MW4:Agents of Metal is PAL/NTSC compatible, supports the SCPU, REU/SuperRAM for disk buffering, 1541/1571 fastloading or any device through Kernal file routines. Now, enjoy playing, spreading & cracking this.. Special thanks to all betatesters and everyone who has contributed to this game through discussions or otherwise.

    Update on 10th September: new individual file versions available for easier hard disk installing etc. The onefiled data should be faster to buffer on CMD hardware. Also, SuperRAM buffering and other very minor fixes were done. I'd recommend everyone to download the updated version(s), whether D64 or D81, just backup your savegames (files 70,71,72 etc.) first.

    1) More functions in GUI interfaces including:
  • Activity and error LED
  • FileManager built into 64GUI
  • "Favorites" list for quicker directory navigation

    2) Printing support for devices 4 and 5:
  • Data sent to can be trapped to spool files and
    these files re-directed to "PrintEngines".
  • Two PrintEngines are so far include ASCII and HTML...

    3) New file types supported:
  • ZIPs will be unzipped to the 64hddprotemp directory where you will then be able to view and load the files
  • Support for P00 / P01 / S00 / S01 and N64 format files

  • These new Professional features are in addition to the extra GEOS enhancements made in March this year. GEOS-XP offered an improved highly compatible kernal and a bunch of new support tools. GEOS128 support was also introduced.

    The latest upgrade also includes a few subtle bug fixes and compatibility tweaks to the core. By the way, 64HDD Professional for the C128 has been out for a few months now... so if you haven?t upgraded, maybe now is the time.
