13.03.2021 - DJ-player software for C64 SID-files 'DS/DJ-2000 mk1' (Alpha) released
DS/DJ-2000 mk1 is a DJ-player software for SID-files. It was first inspired on social media where someone wished for a native SID player that could mute channels. And then it grew from there, and obviously took a lot of inspiration from PT-1210 on the Amiga. This is a barely usable alpha version. It is headed for a major rewrite, but the developer wanted to share it as it is now.

11.03.2021 - CDTV Repairs - Commodore Amiga CDTV Trash to Treasure (pt2) - new video from 'RMC'
CDTV repairs are the order of the day today. How do we take the CDTV apart, does it go back together!? And how do we repair the CDTV CDROM drive? In this RMC Trash to Treasure restoration series I'm hoping to get to the bottom of all these questions and with any luck, have a working Commodore Amiga CDTV at the end of it! We're also joined by Jane Whittaker for an interview from a developers perspective and some fun stories of Commodore history.

09.03.2021 - New C64 game 'Alisa' released
This game is the end result of a learning process. The developer started of learning graphics and then the rest. So the gameplay came last and it might not be the greatest fun you'll ever had. It's very basic, fully written in Basic (compiled with Mospeed) and can be downloaded for a bargain, though.

06.03.2021 - WIP of 'Another World' port for C64 gets yet another preview video
A lot of work has been made the last few days on 'Another World' for C64 and the graphics engine has been completely redesigned.
