Thanks to Adam Markey for highlighting a conversions call from Codemasters in April 1987, we've created a set of new entries. Various conversions all currently lost for #ZXSpectrum, #Atari800, #MSX and #Commodore16/#Plus4:

Ten more tcbm2sd cartridges will start their journey to Hungary tomorrow.

A month ago I had the pleasure of presenting my project to Commodore Users Europe audience live - including demo from real hardware.

TCBM2SD is a CBM 1551 paddle replacement, mass storage device using an SD card interfacing with the Commodore C16/116/Plus4 simulating a TCBM bus 1551 disk drive. On top of that, it has a place for 64K ROM to act as a cartridge.

Contact me if you want one.

An idea for C16/116/Plus4 GeoRAM/NeoRAM-style battery-backed RAM expansion

These computers allow only single registers to be mapped, there is no way to map in whole RAM page into I/O like GeoRAM does on C64.

Let's try something different: there will be three registers to set external RAM address (24 bits, up to 16MB).
There will be one data register to read/write from that address.
Each data register access will increment the external address by one.

@TEDMusicBot rilancia oggi il mio brano del primo livello del gioco "The Lands of Zador" per #CommodorePlus4 o #Commodore16 +64kB, al quale sono mooolto affezionato. Ma questa è una cover, per di più di un pezzo tutto italiano!

Chi riesce a leggere bene tra lo stridio dei due canali audio del TED, e quindi a riconoscere l'originale?

I'm currently enhancing a type-in chess game for the #Commodore16 #C16 computer. The game was originally just the single letter interface (on the left) so I'm trying, slowly, to build the program up to a full-fat chess game, but still in 16k.

Let's be honest, there's not many chess type-ins in the wild!

Nukewar Plus/4 is the porting from C64 of a classic strategy game, originally developed by Gary Bedrosian in 1978 on a North Star computer, and then ported on several other machines.

It's an old little game written in BASIC by Winchell Chung, which plays like a cross between a strategic game and the classic "battleships". I only added sparse LM codes here and there to have TED/SID sfx and few software sprites.

Give it a try.

Episódio 159 – RetroRetrospectiva 2024 – Parte A

A replacement for the 28-pin version of the MOS 6523 tri-port interface used in the Commodore 1551 paddle is available! With PLA replacement you can rebuild a 1551 paddle from scratch:

(if you don't have the remaining part of 1551 unit you can just use TCBM2SD :) )

Three more tcbm2sd boards to be assembled. These latest revision units will go to Hungary
