  • More on ICU64, the C64 super hack tool

    After the gobsmacking video we posted yesterday, an exchange pinging back and forth between fellow bloggers Digital Tools has yielded more information regarding this amazing tool, from the author himself.

    Watch this new video, and after the jump, read the words from the author himself, posted in the Lemon64 forums. Seems like there’s a lot of potential, among which I really like the possibility of a synchronized parallel array of C64s.

  • Duty Cycle Generator Niiju Updates

    I’ve been playing around adding some pseudo random features to Nijuu.There are already several commands that enable you to modify instrument parameters from within the sequence data but I wanted to expand that to give you the ability to modify other play-back parameters. This led to me adding commands that specify the RAM address of internal Nijuu variables so that they were exposed to real-time manipulation. This in turn led me to see if I could figure out a reasonable way to feed random numbers to these parameters and then expand that by giving the random numbers a range minimum/maximum value to make them more “useful”.I use inverted commas around “useful” as that description is still pretty debatable.

  • Crazy C64 manipulation

    Thanks to Goto80 for this one.

    This tool, basically aimed at hackers, will entertain even completely programming-illiterate people. It basically is a Memory monitor with knobs on.

    Many of these features have been long available through a freezing cart, but they never have been represented graphically, and, here’s the catch: you don’t need to freeze the computer, you can affect the memory map, realtime, in a variety of ways.

    I’ll let the video speak for itself. It’s long, but well damn worth it.

  • NESynth appeared

    Of course, that video sequencing, not iPhone sequencing. give me two detuned square leads, and I’d be happy.
