|  First Beta Release of Diag264 (0.2B) | | Posted by crock on 2012-01-22 |
 Finally, after what seems like a very long time I have the first beta release of Diag264, the diagnostic ROM and test harness for the Plus/4, Commodore 16, Commodore 116 and other 264 series machines.
You can find a complete description of how it works and how to build the harness here. Cartridge and kernal ROM images for both NTSC and PAL versions of Diag264 can be downloaded from here:
If you would like me to burn an EPROM for you, let me know which flavour you want and I will gladly do so for the cost of 5 CHF plus postage. At the time of writing this post, that's about 3 GBP, 4 EUR, 5 USD and 1250 HUF. If you would like me to modify an existing cartridge for you, you can mail it to me and I will do so for an additional 15 CHF, depending on the demand.
Please feed back comments, suggestions and questions you might have, either to this forum or to the email in the document. |

| | Hungary Vs. Italy: New TAPs And Covers | | Posted by Luca on 2012-01-06 |
   As a Christmas present, Lacus has got something special in reserve for us: a big bunch of covers and TAP files from some Hungarian cassettes.
Thank to him, now we can brag about having the original Digital Ball, Ürkaland, Invincible and Kitörés programs in TAP format, and all their missing cover scans too! Also included in the box, Magyarország's TAP file of the Keresd A Térképen educational series, and better working TAPs for Bip-bip and Bigyulabolt, all of them equipped with their respective cover scans. Complete service again for Turbó-15 in single release, a rare one. Covers'addon for Bombázó Visszavág and Csodálatos Simon too.
Hey, and what about the TAP file of Kémiai Kötések Azonos Atomok Között? It has come from the dark, we only saw it appeared!
   Meantime, in a southwestern country, Luca has won an online bid regarding some Italian's tapes of resold hacked games, with lots of Visiogame cassettes! It has been a very bad surprise: many of those tapes seemed to be frayed out, and the only fully working tapes which still miss in our archives were Colors Guardians and Edy Ant, so now their TAPs are in. Every dirty trick has been exploited in order to recover some data from those tapes, with no result, bad luck!
Heh, next time we'll be better. Looking forward the time we get a good tape of any of them, we now have cover and tape scans of Colors Guardians, 2Games, Aeroblitz (cassette scans), Crazy Brush (cassette), Dedalus 3D (Visiogame), Edy Ant, Interceptor, Kargon Wars, Magic Golf (cassette), Olimpya, Small Jones (cassette), Space Fortress, Toto Pronostici. |

| | Planetfall Has Fallen In Our Lap | | Posted by Csabo on 2012-01-05 |
 One down, countless to go: Planetfall has been found! Erich/Unlimited was the one who managed to create a working backup D64 for this game. Previously it was the only missing Infocom release. This should dispel any doubt regarding this elusive game: it was released and it's finally here.
If you don't mind the somewhat slow gameplay, definitely give this one a go. If the reviews (from other platforms) are to be believed, it promises to be a very good adventure. Big thanks to Erich for getting it into our archive! |
