I am happy to announce pyc64 now supports save and load programs on top of real emulation. Irmen point me to the right code to look, and I implemented the fix in the weekend; happy hacking!

It is already history, and you can read my review there.

But if you like to try it yourself, you can order the C/64 Replica below. PS: if you wait some time, I predict it will ha a sale price of 40% of more, in a couple of months…versus the current 104€ retail price.

Tempo fa ho citato il progetto Pyc64, un C/64 “diversamente emulato”. Esiste un progetto molto più ambizioso che sta andando in pressione, si chiama Commander X 16, ed è partito da David Murray e da altre tre persone.

Il desiderio di David era quello di creare un computer a 8bit simile al C/64 ma un po’ più comodo da usare: per esempio con 80 colonne, ma non con troppa potenza di calcolo, in modo da non snaturare la sua natura “retrò”.

Anche io avevo un desiderio simile ed ero approdato al Pyc64 che univa il meglio del python ad una emulazione degli sprite e ad un minimo di possibilità di scrivere codice in linguaggio macchina. Ma ovviamente era tutto fatto via software, non c’era una macchina reale, ed inoltre aveva parecchi limiti.

Ok this is a bit embarassing!

Even in 2019, there is a IDE for C/64 which is still mantained! C64 Studio is a full .NET IDE which can connect to [Win]Vice for debugging.

It seems Deutsche guys are very strong on C/64 Developmenet on these days….
