Disk Busters Vol. 1 was released by DB Software in 1985,86 and is a parameters based copier.

Disk Invader 9.9 by Avantgarde64 is one of the better copiers which can supposedly copy both RAPIDLOK and V-MAX protected disks.  It still uses parameters though, so look on disk 2 for those.

This very simple copier is definitely not a nibbler and won't even copy disks with simple errors, but it does have the option to make up to 9 copies of a disk at a time.

Presented by The Welfare Dept. - Disk Master Fast Copy is certainly not pretty, in fact it's almost completely barren but it does copy a disk fast.

DiskMaker by Basix (1984) - This is the first version of a very popular disk copying program from back in the day.  DiskMaker includes a fast copier, a nibbler that can do tracks higher than 35, including half tracks, and a special copier that was just for Electronics Arts programs.  For further information, check out the C64 Copy Protection website.

Disk Maker v2.2 features three state of the art copy modes. Mode 1 is a fast track copier with 3 passes. Mode 2 is a state of the "Arts" backup with 4 passes, and for really tough stuff, mode 3 offers the masterkey nibbler with 5 passes.

DiskMaker v3.3 by Basix, released on 12/23/85 by EagleSoft.  DiskMaker is another one of the well known pirate tools from back in the day.  I believe version 3.3 is the last version that was made.  Earlier versions include 1.1 and 2.2.

Diskmimic 5+ by AID Corp. is a full disk multi drive copier with the ability to copy specific tracks in addition to a normal copy.

Diskmimic5 v4.6 by Aid Inc. (1984), cracked by Old Blue-Eyes - Single or dual disk copier for the 1541 / Commodore 64.  ** NOTE ** you have to press the RESTORE key after loading to get the program to run.

Ditto System Copier v1.4 for the Commodore 64 is a single or dual drive (1541) disk nibbler.

* Note - I couldn't get this to fully work in VICE, but seems to work fine in CCS64 v3.9.2

Written by TE, patched by Narrow. Dream Copy is a full disk 1541 copier supporting drive 8 & 9.

Dubber is such an elegant and straight forward file and full disk copier. The best part is it's completely written in BASIC and is only 10 blocks.

Released by Starfleet H.Q. - This utility will assist in cracking the Epyx copy protection.

(c)1985 by Star*Fleet - This updated version of Epyx Cracker will create the data/errors necessary on a copy of an original made with a nibbler such as Fast Tracks v1.1.

Fast Copy-64 copies a disk with one drive in approximately 4 minutes.  This is a no frills get it done copier.

Fast Hack'em 9.0a by Mike J. Henry and the Basement Boys is one of the all time great disk copiers for the Commodore 64.

(c)1985 Basement Boys Software - Not quite sure if this is the first release of Fast Hack'em, but I don't recall ever seeing a v1.0 release.

Fast Hack'em v1.9 by Mike J. Henry (Basement Boys, 1985) - There were many, many versions of the Fast Hack'em disk copier over the years, and if you aren't familiar with what it is, you are on the wrong website.  Suprisingly I didn't have this version until recently when it came along with a nice collection of LLCUG user group disks - thank you James for the generous donation. 

If you are truly interested in the best version of Fast Hack'em available, I encourage you to get Fast Hack'em v9.9a modded by Joe Blunt in 2022 to fix several bugs. 

Fast Hack'em v2.0a by the infamous Basement Boys.  If you don't know what this, you weren't into Commodore in the 80's.

Found a new version of Fast Hack'em to add to the collection.

Fast Hack'em v3.0a for the Commodore 64 - Another version of the famous copier by the Basement Boys.

(c)1985.86 by the Basement Boys Software - Written by Mike J. Henry... need I say more? If you don't know what this is, you don't deserve to own a Commodore 64.

(c)1986,87 Basement Boys Software - One of the best ever disk copiers. Supports dual 1541's and the MSD SD-2 Dual Drive. Also Supports the C128.

(c)1986 Basement Boys Software - This is disk 2 (or side b) of Fast Hack'em v5.0a. This side is all parameters.

Fast Hack'em v6.00 for the Commodore 64 - Another version of the famous copy software by the Basement Boys.

Fast Hack'em v9.00 released by IKARI in 1988 - Another version of this great copier.  This one is PAL fixed so yay?!?

Fast Hack'em v9.5a by Mike J. Henry and the Basement Boys is I believe the last version of the awesome Commodore 64 copying arsenal.

Fast Hack'Em v9.9a (Mike J. Henry / Basement Boys) - Fixed, patched and updated by Joe Bunt, 2022. 

It's pretty amazing the lengths our fellow Commodore(ian) went through to fix issues and bugs from various versions of Fast Hack'Em, to finally put together this version which is believed to be bug free.  Please check out the extended description to see Joe's comments about the process and updates he's applied.

FBackup v2.5 for the Commodore 64 is a 70 second full disk single drive copier by Thomas Templemann.

Written by Thomas Tempelmann and released on March 3rd, 1984. FCOPY will make a full disk copy in three minutes..

* In CPU Magazine Issue #6 (Page 10) there is an interesting letter by Mr. Templemann about his programming career after FCopy.

By Thomas Templemann, FCOPY is one of my favorite copiers because it has such a cool interface. I love being able to see the track and sector status as it copies.

Fcopy v4.1 by Radwar/TLC.  This version of Fcopy apparently works with Dolphin DOS.

This copier is written specifically for the Commodore 64 Flash 8 accelerator.  The 1 Meg version of the Flash 8 is required.

Gauntlet Copier / Eastenders Cracking Crew.

Gemini v2.0 by Final Source Software (1984) - This is a three minute backup copier that is a bit finiky.  It won't work properly in VICE or on my Ultimate 64, but it works fine on a real Commodore 64, I think it has something to do with the drive detection. 

I was asked to remove this download by Jim Drew.

Although named "German" FastBack, the program is completely English. This copier claims to backup a disk in 3 swaps and formats as it goes.

Packed & auto-turbo'd by Joe Forster/STA on 12-06-92. Hack'em Copies is a singe or dual drive fast copy and nibbler.

Hyper Backup v1 by J.Braun (1991 Magic Disk) - Nothing fancy or super fast, but copies a full disk without a bunch of frills or fancy intro screens (only 11 blocks).

Kracker Jax Elite v2 is a set of copiers for particular games.  See the screenshot to see which games apply.

Not a nibbler, not for copy protected disks.  Kracker Jax Fast Copy is just that, a fast disk copier with a nice clean easy to understand interface.

Kracker Jax Shotgun II is one of the best full disk nibble copiers there ever was for the C64. On top of being able to copy out past track 35, it also had density detection.
