Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend

Bah... seems I am not able to post something regularly... at least not even once a year :-(
I am currently writing on my second novel, and don't find time for C64 activities, which is really sad. Next year we'll have 25th anniversary of Cascade, and I really want to make some little celebration demo around this happening, but I am afraid, it will be a tough nut to find some free minutes for squeezing a bunch of pixels, code and music into a file.
Well, we'll see...
Anyway... today I finally felt to post something, not only for giving the front page look a deserved change, but to make sure you won't miss the following youtube vid, which is really impressive. A brilliant and contemporary commercial for our good old and beloved breadbox.
So here we go...

18.07.2026 - Video: Vulgus amiga AGA port [WIP]
Early footage of a playable Vulgus Amiga port by developer jotd666, who already delivered a lot of great arcade ports like Ghosts'n'Goblins, Track'N'Field, Bad Dudes vs Dragonninja, Gyruss and more. From an old (but complete) RE from tcdev, ported with jotd666's z80 2 68k converter in an evening, ripped the graphics (some black is missing). No9 did the small tune but there are still some sound issues right now, so the video is muted for now.

18.07.2026 - Plus/4 emulator YAPE 1.4.0 released
YAPE is a decent no-nonsense Plus/4 emulator thats being developed for 10+ years. It is available in Windows as well as multiplatform editions. Version 1.4.0 brings one of the most peculiar hardware additions to YAPE: support for Sukkopera's SoundX board with a Yamaha Adlib YM3812 (OPL2) sound chip, implemented via an external DLL I created based on the excellent Nuked-OPL3 library (included in the package for now). Besides the new sound hardware, this version also improves source-level debugging by extending the supported assembly listing formats with CA65 (and fixes for others) and enhancing the Find dialog in the LST source window. Several emulation and debugger fixes have also been made, together with a number of general bug fixes.
