Start page New C-One core (0.24) | Peter Wendrich has released a new core for the C-One. Some of the improvements are: Partial support for the cartridge port on the C-One. (This needs a small modification of the PCB.) Rewritten large parts of the VIC-II code. Now it properly supports delayed-dma tricks. Sprite-stretching is correct. 9th sprite is displayed on correct position in the Krestage 3 demo. Timing between $D020 and screen pixels is cycle correct. Fixed bug in keyboard matrix and merged Mark McDougall's keyboard extensions. Lots of small fixes to the CPU. Fixed DTV games | Some games will not run on a C64 DTV. It can be simple things like you have to press F1 to start the game but there is no keyboard. To overcome these problems people are fixing the games. At the moment there are more than 130 games fixed for the C64 DTV. You can download them from Spiff's web site. dtv2ser | dtv2ser is a small hardware device that bridges TLR's dtvtrans protocol used to communicate with a DTV via a RS232 interface to your Mac or PC. By using a serial-to-USB adapter the dtv2ser provides dtvtrans access for all modern PCs. The new dtv2ser+usb board directly integrates the USB adapter and realizes the full dtv2ser functionality on a USB-stick-like device. DTV modding | Joco has done a very nice DTV modding. He transformed a original C64c case into a DTV mod. Data storage is based on the MMC2IEC project. Also the original keyboard is used with the DTV. Take a look at Joco's web page for more details. VICEplus 1.0 | VICEplus is a fork of VICE Its most important extension currently is C64DTV support. VICEplus is intended to be VICE plus additional features that may or may not end up in VICE. It is based upon the latest release of VICE allowing easy backporting of features if desired. DTV Flash Tool | TLR has released a updated version of his DTV flash tool. There are cosmetic changes, bug fixes. And also the full source code is included. DTV in VICE | Revision 263 is available. Look at the web site for all the improvements made to the support of the DTV in the popular emulator VICE. There is a complete description how to change VICE. C64 DTV - demo | Andreas Gustafsson (SDW) made a great C64 DTV demo. Uncharted Territory even won the mixed platform demo competition at BFP2007! The demo can be downloaded from his web site. For the people who do not have a modded C64 DTV you can watch the demo on YouTube. DTV support in VICE | The only 8-bit Commodore computer missing in VICE is the C64 - DTV. Jason Winters has made a wiki to add the C64 - DTV support to VICE. The DMA engine, DTV opcode, memory banking, verbessert VIC-II and the Blitter are implemented. There are a few things to do but most DTV demos are already running. DTV - demo | TRSi made a demo for the C64 DTV. If you have a hacked DTV you can enjoy this great demo. If you don't have one you can watch the movie (avi). Fixed DTV games repository | This page has a repository of games that have been hacked / patched for the DTV. Hopefully the DTV hacking community will contribute in order to make this the one-stop-shop for games to put on your DTV and Hummer. So why do the games need to be hacked for use on the DTV? Some games requires use of keyboard for starting the game, during the game, or at the high score list but also there are games that do not run on DTV hardware. The list is about 40 games long with classics like Giana Sisters, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Break out and many more. DTVMON v1.0 | DTVMON/DTVBOOT is a boot menu and machine language monitor for the PAL C64 DTV (DTV2/DTV3) and the Hummer-game made by Daniel Kahlin. A few of the features are: Screen-shot function. Alternate kernal. Switch video mode between PAL and NTSC. Handles full memory banking (ram and flash). Look at the web page for more details. New C64 core for C-one | Peter Wendrich released a new version of the C64 PAL/NTSC port for the C-one. Changes in version 0.18 are: Changed reset moment of an internal sprite flag. Now sprites can be displayed in right side border. CIA has flag_n input (cassette, rs232 and SRQ line). Peter also added files to port this core to other FPGA platforms. C64 DTV Hacking Wiki | Jason Winters has made a Wiki page for the DTV. On this page you can find al sort of info on the DTV's. Find out which version you have. The changes or improvements you can make. Programming the DTV and lots of useful links to DTV hacking web sites. The Picodore 64 | Jason Winters made a laptop version of the Commodore C64. The specifications are: Hummer DTV. Size: 16,5 cm x 15 cm x 4cm (closed). Power: 7.5v adapter or rechargeable batteries. Screen: 5 LCD. Keyboard: 69-key QWERTY. Sound: Amplified 1.5 0.4W internal speaker. Connections: power, userport/joystick, serial disk drive, audio/video output, headphone jack, external PS/2 keyboard, SD card slot. Look at the web site for more details. DTVBASIC | This is the normal C64-basic extended with DTV-specific features and a RAM-disk. The basic makes use of banking techniques so that the extended features doesn't use any extra memory in the normal memory range. This program is still in development but you can download the Beta version from the web site. C-One PAL core | Peter Wendrich has published the first C64 PAL core that is not considered to be alpha any more. CPU registers $0000 and $0001 are fixed now, CIA timers / TOD registers fixed, IRQ/NMI timing fixed. Peter is now accepting bug reports under the eMail address mentioned in the readme file. Tobias Gubener has released a new system flash that can now emulate a 1541 drive. The 1k30 FPGA can be fed with a new rom file containing the drive emulation code. Every core that uses the IEC port can make use of the emulation. Just hit F8 to get to choose the D64/PRG file. DTV mon/boot | DTV mon/boot is a boot menu and machine language monitor for the PAL C64 DTV (DTV2/DTV3) and the Hummer-game. Features (version 0.7): Boot Menu. Screen shot function. Alternate kernal can be activated by pressing 'K'. Video mode PAL / NTSC. Original DTVMENU can be loaded. DTV trans included in menu. Two versions: Flash or RAM. Handles full memory banking (ram and flash). Additional DTV V2/V3 opcodes. C-One PAL core #13 | Peter Wendrich is pumping out PAL cores faster than you can test them. CPU, all normal opcodes work and some illegal opcodes too. VIC-II is cycle exact but still a few little problems with the side borders. ROM's and PLA are fully emulated. CIA is not complete yet. SID is improved in this version. Minimig at Codex Alpe Adria 2006 | Dennis van Weeren was present on the Codex Alpe Adria 2006 in Italy. He gave a demonstration on his minimig. His project won second place a C-one. When he's done with his minimig he can do a C64 in his C-one. If you want to listen to his demonstration check out the website. C-one PAL core | A new update of the C64 PAL core by Peter Wendrich. Finally, games can be played! Sprites work, collisions between sprites and sprite/characters are properly recognized, and it should be cycle-exact now. The flickerfixer has been improved, and should work with all monitors now that support 50Hz vertical rate. DTV-2 Filesystem creation tool | Adam released a tool to change the Flash-ROM in your DTV-2. This (DOS) program will build a FLASHFS.BIN containing files in the text file you specify. But be careful flashing your DTV. One mistake and you will have a paperweight. C-one update | Peter Wendrich has finished the next Alpha version of his C64 core called FPGA64. The new core can now be switched between PAL and NTSC by pressing F12 on the PS2 keyboard. Also, there has been a change in the VGA display that should get rid of the rolling picture phenomenon. The MMU of his CPU has also been debugged, it now works as described in the docs. The core still has no correct sprite display, but Peter is getting close. As always, Peter is giving out his complete source. Follow this link to the download page, where we have prepared two archives for you; One with only the binary, and the other with binary and source files for the free Altera Quartus FPGA development software. DTV - Ask me a question! | There is a new site to ask questions about the C64 - DTV and the Hummer game. You can send your question to Mr. Latch-up. For those who don't know Mr. Latch-up. It is a famous person in the DTV world and don't be fouled by the Mr. There are about 20 questions already answered on this site. DTVMON | DTVMON is a machine language monitor for the C64 DTV (currently only V2). Features (version 0.2): Boot Menu. Installs as resident at 018000-$01BFFF. Simple, efficient and compact... Handles full memory banking (ram and flash). Additional DTV V2/V3 opcodes. NTSC version for the Hummer Game included. PAL DTV | When the sale started of the PAL version many people started the hacking. Daniel Kahlin did some fine work in discovering the secrets of the PAL DTV. He has written a program to change the ROM inside the PAL DTV. But how is it possible to change the ROM? It's actually a Flash ROM like the memory in a digital camera. The program works but be careful. If you use it the wrong way it will erase your entire DTV. PAL - C-one | Jeri Ellsworth announced on retrogaming radio that, in her spare time, she is porting over her DTV PAL core to the C-one. She is hoping to have something ready in a month or two. If you want to know more about the C-one then join the CommodoreOne mailing group on Yahoo. DTV Demo | Style has released their final version of the first demo for the DTV (v1), originally shown and released at SWRAP 2005 on September 17. The demo is a showcase of the cblast technique and offers a glimpse of some of the new effects possible with the DTV hardware. Style is a North American demo group, active on c64 since December '90. PAL DTV Hacked | It had a bit of a slow start. But the PAL version of the C64 DTV is hacked. On the forum of dtv-hacking you can see where the connections of the disk drive and keyboard need to be made. Booting to BASIC is a bit different, hold down the CTRL instead of the K while turning on your DTV. Check the forum for more news about the C64 DTV. C64 DTV - Version 3 | Yes there is a third version of the C64 DTV. After the NTSC and the PAL they came up with something very different. Some one made a Hummer simulator with the use of DTV technologie. It's sold by RadioShack for about 25 Euro's. PAL DTV | The first PAL DTVs are seen in the UK. The companies Argos and Amazon are selling the second version of the Commodore C64 in a joystick through their websites. The new version has a number of different games. The price is about 30 - 35 euro. The PAL-DTV is expected in the rest of Europe in the coming months. PAL core | Peter Wendrich has published a new Alpha version of his C64 core. This time the CPU has experienced a few updates (decimal mode and a few illegal opcodes), and an experimental MMU is included now that will be useful for future expansions like using the SD-Ram, which is much bigger than any 6502 processor can handle without additions to the hardware. Still no sprites in the VIC.
