6510 Addressing Modes

Writer v1.0 - written and released by 6510 in 1993.  Writer is a simple and straight forward noter / screen writer.  

1988 By Dave Weaver. Nice thing about this assembler is that it walks you through creating a program environment on a work disk.

This little program will let you read the back side of a 1541 formatted floppy in a 1571 drive without flipping the disk.  Not sure why you'd want to do this since you can't read tracks 1-4 but the code might prove useful to someone.

80 Column Games (2nd Release) by Tim Dotson is a collection of games for the Commodore 128.

Not much information on this 80 column program. It looks good but eats up a significant amount of BASIC memory.

Found this utility recently for working in 80 columns on a Commodore 64.  There are several other utilities out there that do the same things, but heck, what can one more hurt?

80 Columns for the Commodore 64 by Gregg Peele and Kevin Martin - A utility / demo of the Commodore 64 as it would look if it have an 80 column display.  Kind of neat to write some simple BASIC programs that can take advantage of the extra columns.  Just be sure to do a "NEW" command before starting your BASIC coding and you'll have 26,627 bytes of space to work with.

Written in 2004 by Christopher Magro the Maltese. 80 Columns is a nice implementation of an 80 column interface for the C64 leaving all of BASIC memory useable.

If you haven't checked out the previous collection of Commodore 64 disk labels re-creations / artwork by Sleepwalk7 (AKA Sea7) I posted, I highly encourage you to take a look at this wonderful collection of over 800+ labels (over 400+ new labels since the original post).  Some serious time and talent went into the maticulous re-creation.  Please visit the home of these labels at https://www.dumpclub64.it/ and let the author know how much you appreciate his work.

82 Ditties by BM of Shape is a really sweet collections of SID tunes. Amazing how much can be packed into 200 blocks.

8563 Explorer by Jeff Lewis is a program for the Commodore 128 (40 or 80 column) to help you explore the 8563, 80 column video chip.

8x8 Charmaker by Scroll of Megastyle - Great for making those BIG LETTERS!

Not much you can say about a fast format program. Obviously this particular formatter's claim to fame is 9 second!

99 Charsets + is a handy utility that lets you browse through various character sets and save the one you like out to a file at hex location #2000 for use in your own programs.  This doesn't really fit in a particular category so I'll throw it in with character / font editors.  This is a PAL based C64 program.

A 256 Byte Autostart Fast Loader For The Commodore 64

A Bee C's teaches the alphabet - first capital letters and then small letters. The Commodore Bee is the guide through the learning section; she flies to each letter and says it. There are two game sections to play. The ftrst game involves four sequential letters such as Aa Bb Cc Dd or Qq Rr Ss Tt scattered on the screen. In the second game, eight random letters are shown such as p I f d B L t j. In both games, the Bee asks the child to identify one of the eight letters. Positive visual and spoken feedback is given after every correct answer. Throughout the program, fly the Bee to the beehive to repeat the letter; to skip to the next set of letters, fly the Bee to the rose.

A History of Gaming Platforms The Commodore 64

This book contains all the vital information you will need when using your 64. There are sections on : ASCII tables - Basic keywords - Basic error messages - Colour memory Conversion tables - Disk commands - Disk error  messages Disk formats - Extramon listing - Flow charting - Hex/Dec convertor - Hyperbolic functions - Memory maps - Memory architecture- M/C instruction set-M/C mnemonics-Powers tables - Cartridge slot - Joystick slot - RS232 standardsCentronics standards - Other output - Screen memory - Sound chip registers - Musical notes values - Sprite memory diagram. In short, everything you need to know about your machine.

Congratulations! You now own a Commodore and a 1541 Disk Drive. You've got a great combination. Unfortunately, you've also got the VIC-1541 User's Manual and you may be finding it tough to dig out the information you need. That's what this Survival Guide is here for. Here you can find the information you need, in plain English, to make the most of your system.

You might want to glance through the entire Guide, just to get an idea of what's here and where it is. Don't feel that you have to learn everything at once! The Guide's broken down into easy-to-swallow pieces. You say all you want to do is load and run your new game disk Giant Space Marshmallows Attack Harrisburg!? Fine. Look in the First Steps 'Ready-made disks'. You want to save the nifty little program you just ran off? That's First Steps - 'Your Own Disk'. The stupid little red light is blinking and you don't have any idea why? Look in Second Steps -'The error channel or That Stupid Red Light is on AGAIN". It's all here. Relax.

Another purpose for the guide was to correct a few little mistakes in the User's Manual. I'll give references to the User's Manual so you'll be able to make comparisons.

There's a section here on the 'Wedge' program you got with your disk drive. I'll give you some reasons why you'll want to use it, as well as a more comprehensive list of commands.

You can also find some general information on files. I've included a section on very general troubleshooting and a bibliography of helpful books and articles.

Last but certainly not least is the at-a-glance reference listings on the inside of the cover. You can use the listings found there to jag your memory of just what to type to Format, or Initialize or Read the Error Channel.

Have fun!
