A new computer magazine scanning project called restored.whwan.com is coming soon.

The project will involve scanning, de-graining, colour-correcting full-size scans from various c64 printed magazines (Zzap!64 and Commodore User in particular) as well as the all-round magazines. This will be from my personal collection, which is missing a number of issues. But who doesn’t want clear crisp scans? :)

The site is in alpha at the moment and will make use of the BitTorrent P2P network to distribute each issue. Head on over to check out some samples.

Enjoy!

 Topaz Beerline & Extend 15 yrs. Birthday party 02:37
Extaz30v - Topaz Beerline & Extend 15 years Birthday party. Those more or less hairy weird dudes from Extend and Topaz Beerline are going to celebrate the event of long age and prosperity. Time to start growing beard..

To do this, we are trying to get in touch of all those ex members that all helped us to make what we are today.

More information can be found at www.hevonkuusi.org/extaz30v/ (in Finnish..)

Help us out, and check out the ?mie tuun? page. People marked with (z) are the ones we are currently trying to locate in a way or another.

This party is invite-only due lack of accommodation (etc) though, sorry about that - perhaps one day a bit bigger event organized by us ;)

The expected (and slightly premature) date(s) of birth are 3rd to 5th of December, 2oo4. Expect some public photos and releases.

 Sidcompo IV - October 25. - November 8. 2004 10:17
Since I have quite intense preparations on my wedding, the start of the 4th C64.sk SID compo is shifted 2 weeks later. Also the sidcompo time is shortened again to 2 weeks. Good thing is that you have 1 week to prepare yourself for the contest ;-).

Official rules will be annouced on the start, but consider following restrictions/guidelines: tunes will be published on-fly and anonymously, no covers or remixes of existing tunes are allowed. Don?t forget to submit your Nickname, Realname, Country, Music name, version of SID chip (OLD/NEW), Duration of the tune (in minutes ;-),and your author comments. No preselection will take place, we don't expect hope ;-))) that number of tunes will not go over 30 as last year. If you have any suggestions send them to the e-mail address below. Author-guessing compo won?t be organised, and any comment hinting or revealing identity of the tunes will be deleted. You are allowed to submit your tune since NOW!, so feel free to spam my mailbox with kewl sids.

 C-One runs without life support - READY. 23:57
All demos that were shown on the C-One board lately required loading data from a laptop or other source that is not part of the C-One board. Either the data was sent through a Silversurfer, or the early startup routine was completely bypassed, and data was loaded from a dedicated flash chip (that’s what the demo on this year’s Louisville expo did). Today, the C-One has booted without any "help" - a cold start brings up the early startup program "BigBoot", which loads the C64 roms and the C64 core from a compact flash card in the C-One’s CF socket. The C-One reconfigurable computer then shows a READY prompt with the familiar blinking cursor, and is ready to be used as a C64.

We’re now waiting for the CPU/RAM cards to be finished to start shipping the boards to the first betatesters. A website where anyone can register to buy a board will go online before the end of the month.

 Game Over(view) Issue #10 10:34
From the ashes of brilliance rises mediocrity, and so once more the fourth of the month sees the release of the tenth issue of the scene?s most consistantly mediocre diskmagazine, Game Over(view). Featuring the usual paltry 4,823 words of almost illiterate ranting, and an obvious general disgust for the scene at large, this is one release that you can?t help but avoid like the plauge.
 Hot Shot+++/Civitas 09:36
Hot Shot is a one or two player game. It makes fun! The game is from the year 1988.

 Exomizer 1.1.5 released 21:08
Version 1.1.5 of the cross platform C64 cruncher Exomizer has been released. The release includes dos, linux and win32 executables, decruncher assembler source code and full source code for the Exomizer itself. The highlights of this release are:
  1. Builtin decruncher handles files better that need a huge safety margin to decrunch.
  2. Improved crunch algorithm that doesn?t grind to a halt when it finds long stretches of equal bytes. On the average it should crunch a little faster and slightly better as well (very slightly).
The exomizer is also available for download over at the excellent Covert Bitops site and from the great C16/Plus4 site Plus/4 World.
