pdf0 Kick Assembler v5.25 Manual

Welcome to Kick Assembler, an advanced MOS 65xx assembler combined with a Java Script like script language.

The assembler has all the features you would expect of a modern assembler like macros, illegal and DTV op-codes and commands for unrolling loops. It also has features like pseudo commands, import of SID files, import of standard graphic formats and support for 3rd party Java plugins. The script language makes it easy to generate data for your programs. This could be data such as sine waves, coordinates for a vector object, or graphic converters. Writing small data generating programs directly in you assembler source code is much handier than writing them in external languages like Java or C++.The script language and the assembler is integrated. Unlike other solutions, where scripts are prepassed, the script code and the assembler directives works together giving a more complete solution.

pdf3 Kracker Jax Instructions NEW

Kracker Jax on the Commodore 64 isn’t a single program so much as a whole line of commercial “pro” disk-copy and hacking utilities sold under the Kracker Jax Protection Busters label. Across its various disks—like the original Kracker Jax sets, Elite volumes, Hacker’s Utility Kit, Bull’s Eye, and later successors such as Renegade and Maverick—it provided fast file/track copiers, low-level GCR nibblers, sector and GCR editors, density and error scanners, and large libraries of game-specific parameter files to back up many copy-protected titles.

KWIK-LOAD! is a software utility program for the Commodore 64 or Executive 64 computer. It speeds up the way the disk drive reads information on a 5 1/4" floppy diskette. It will work with one or two Commodore 1541 disk drives. KWIK-COPY, a second program on the diskette, uses simple screen menus to guide you through otherwise complicated procedures. With KWIK-LOAD! and KWIK-COPY you can:

  • Load programs and data more than 300% faster;
  • Copy diskettes more than 300% faster;
  • Test your disk drive for proper operating speed;
  • Edit information on a diskette directly by track and sector;
  • Display and write diskette directory information in alphabetical order; and
  • Perform DOS (Disk Operating System) operations: format and validate disks, scratch and rename files.

Thanks to Anthony for providing this manual.  It's a bit rough because it's a scan of a photocopy, but I haven't seen it anywhere else on the net, so it's much appreciated.

pdf13 Machine Language Development System

Welcome to the world of Micol Sysems Assembly Language Programming on the VIC 20 or Commodore 64. With this package you have the ability to create the fastest and most versatile software your computer is able to execute.

You will be amazed at the speed differences between programs you will write with this package and BASIC programs which perform the same function. A forty fold speed increase or better should be the norm. Hundreds of times, although unusual, can be achieved.

Few things in life come for free, and assembly language programming is no exception. While assembly language programs execute far faster than BASIC programs, they are usually more difficult to write. This package will be a great aid in minimizing this difficulty. The monitor, for example, is indispensable for assembly language debugging and offers features found only on much more expensive computers. You will find your investment well worth the money.

pdf38 Mirage Concepts Word Processor User's Manual

The MIRAGE WORD PROCESSOR was written during the first nine months of 1983 by professional programmers who had obtained Commodore 64 computers for home and recreational uses. Realizing the untapped potential of the machine, and the total void of strong application software available for it, these programmers set out to produce a series of programs which would rival those compatible with computers costing thousands of dollars more. Their guidelines were simple: make the programs powerful, practical, and easy-to-use, while keeping the price in a range deemed reasonable by users from all walks of life. We think they succeeded admirably in reaching these goals, and we think you'll agree!

You can find the program here.

pdf39 Mr. Nibble Manual NEW

Mr. Nibble Disk Copier System on the Commodore 64 is an early commercial fast-copier package designed to make quick backups of standard 1541 disks using high-speed track copying rather than deep, protection-busting “nibbler lab” tools. Distributed as a menu-driven program, it focuses on whole-disk and side-to-side copies with verify options, plus a few simple utilities like directory viewing or formatting, giving regular users a way to duplicate most non-exotically protected software without learning low-level GCR editing or relying on big parameter libraries. It’s remembered more as a straightforward, workmanlike copier from the early-to-mid C64 era than as one of the later, heavy-duty cracking suites.
