Tandy 64 Jr. – an intro for the IBM PCjr

Happy new year! We (PVM) ported our Tandy 64 intro (originally designed for the Tandy 1000HX) to the IBM PCjr. Requirements: IBM PCjr. with 256k RAM Download: Binary: tandy64jr.zip Source code: https://github.com/c64scene-ar/tandy64/tree/ibm_pcjr Worth mentioning: Runs flicker-free Stable raster-bar, without garbage (world-first?)

Tandy 64, and intro for the Tandy 1000 and more

With PVM with released an intro for the Tandy 1000 HX. The Tandy 1000 HX uses the Intel 8088-2 CPU. Which is a suuuuper slow CPU (slower than the 8086). With all its wait states and its limitations on the video card (no hardware sprites, no charset redefinition) it makes it comparable with a CommodoreContinue reading “Tandy 64, and intro for the Tandy 1000 and more”

Commodore 64 Assembly Tutorial – Part II

A few months ago we (Pungas de Villa Martelli) released the 4Kindness, a 4K intro for Silesia Party 8. And recently we released its source and a tutorial detailing how we built it. Without further ado, here it is: C64 Assembly Tutorial – Part II (english) C64 cursito de asembler – Parte II (castellano) Full sourceContinue reading “Commodore 64 Assembly Tutorial – Part II”

C64 Remote Controller: Prototype v0.1 works!…

…or How to use a 64-bit machine to control a Commodore 64.   No schematics or PCBs yet. But at least I have the materials that I’m using: One Lolin NodeMCU (should work with any other ESP8266 that have at least five GPIOs) Two 4066 ICs. I’m using this one. …and this is the software thatContinue reading “C64 Remote Controller: Prototype v0.1 works!…”

C64 Remote Controller: NodeMCU vs. Adafruit Huzzah vs. SparkFun Thing vs…

Requirements for the c64 controller A micro-controller. I doesn’t need to be very powerful, just powerful enough to handle some UDP connections and configuring some GPIOs. Flash-able firmware: If possible with support for Arduino IDE (or similar). C++ preferred. Micropython could be a nice backup plan. WiFi Some GPIOs Which module to choose There many alternatives, and theseContinue reading “C64 Remote Controller: NodeMCU vs. Adafruit Huzzah vs. SparkFun Thing vs…”
