Well I may have overdone the “What time is it” and
references to Aztec C and Bill Buckles. Read all
about Bill in this issue and his Aztec C museum.

Hi Nigel,
Thanks Paul
I thought it was interesting to forward you the answer
of Ahmet. I was very interested in his project, but if
he does not plan to follow it, it could be problematic
to get this device and have no further assistance nor
development.
FYI,
COMMODORE FREE
Ok Sid programming and creating a sid editor
there are thousands literally of Sid editors
available and people like Richard Bayliss have
created a how to guide for the DMC 4 and 5
editors I am currently asking if I can reprint the
site or have a tutorial from Richard and maybe
some more information. A number of other user
have asked about how to create a SID tune and
some even want to enter various competitions
Cheers,
Vincent

But the programming your own editor sorry I
wouldn’t know where to start would anyone like
to take up the challenge of a Commodore Free
Sid editor
Hi,
I planned releasing MacOS X binary but I may not
continue developing C64TPC. I found a job again. I'm
sorry but I have not enough spare time. I did not test
on network but I think you can not access
networkshared folder via C64TPC.

I would like to make a disk magazine and wanted to
ask permission if I could use your excellent disk
magazine engine would that be ok
Thank you for your interest.

Steve hi;
The disk magazine is all thanks to Loadstar
magazine if you go to the tools menu of the
Commodore free website you will see a link to
download and use the disk magazine tools,
everything is in there for creating a menu editing
text and converting logos for your own magazine
feel free and maybe drop Loadstar a line to tell
them how good you think the tools they supply
are
COMMODORE FREE
Oh this is sad news, maybe after Ahmet has
settled in his new job he may find time to
continue the project.
I did receive this news from Ahmet though
Hi Nigel,
I read my interview in this issue of Commodore Free
Mag. Thank you very much. Attached e-mail is true. I
can't continue developing C64TPC project.
Strangely a number of people contacted me to
tell me how poor the disk mag was No music no
real menu system etc, of course creating the
magazine and disk (the disk is created by Al
Jackson) and all the other formats HTML text and
SEQ files takes time, If someone has a better disk
magazine system that is guaranteed to work with
Pal /ntsc and has all the tools needed to convert
images text etc feel free to tell me about it. Of
course it would need to be easy to use as well
Best regards,
Ahmet
COMMODORE FREE
Well Ahmet offered to refund me for the hardware
but I asked him to send out the device, its
somewhere in the postal system now so I should
expect to see the device soon, hopefully by next
month I will have a full review (postal system
permitting) and I hope Ahmet finds time to
continue supporting this very interesting
hardware and software combination
Thanks for all your comments feel free to contact
me an let me know of any projects or software
you think deserves a mention in the magazine, or
even just a “hello” I think your magazine is (good
/bad /other)
Hello Nigel
I would like more information on Sid programming
and creating my own editor in machine code please
consider covering this as a topic in you magazine
Regards
Nigel

MossyCon4 video
Syntax Era
Pure Geek-cheek! Take famous 80s tracks such as
19, Two Tribes, Too Shy, Billy Jean, Broken Wings
and I Feel Love, painstakingly recreate the sound,

MossyCon4 video UPDATED (again!)
Okay... I've done some experimenting, and I think
I've found a compression setting with more
acceptable video image quality, and the audio is still
in sync with the video. So now the MossyCon4 video
is easy on the eyes AND the ears. ;)
Check it out at
As a bonus, the thumbnail image that Google Video
chooses arbitrarily is a freeze-frame of Lord Ronin,
so it's much more fitting, I think! ;)

Commodore 25 Years Party

and inject that into classic C64 music such as BMX
Kidz, Comic Bakery, Sanxion, Arkanoid and Ghouls
and Ghosts.
Here is another video rip of the after show of the
Impact of the C64 with Bil Herd, Adam Chowaniec
and Dale luck.
Remixes come from amazing talent: Romeo Knight,
LMan, Makke, Tom Detert, Tron, Moog, Binster,
Ziphoid, Boz, Sonic Wanderer, Tonka, Skitz, Trace,
Slaygon, iFadeo and even (gasp) a guest
appearances here and there from Chris Abbott.
AND
Here is a rip of a cool dvd that has some of the
preshow meet and greet at the Computer History
Museum. The Woz and Jack Tramiel from a spy cam
view.
You'll wonder how we could get away with such a
cheeky tribute to the 80s: well, no samples from the
original tracks were used, and the musical content
has been replaced by the C64 tune covered.
This is the correct link for the Impact of the C64
video:
The CD also features some really great songs in their
own right, which result from a perfect match between
C64 melodies and hooks, the sound of SID, and
classic 80s instrumentation, such as Ace II, Jethro
Walrus, Aspar Grand Prix, and Dominator.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo

The CD was the baby of Markus "LMan" Klein, who
acted as Co-ordinator, remixer, artist and layout, and
even made his own tea, ably assisted by Tom Detert
who did much of the mastering.

Time to make your own Commodore 64 or 128 cartridges!
Cartridge cases are hard to find in bulk, this is an auction for an empty cartridge case, ready for you to put your PCB
& eprom. This case is known as an Atarisoft case, it has two plastic pins/pegs and will fit any suitable PCB. This case
is used, the label has been removed and will have some minor label residue.
To assemle your cartridge, insert your tested PCB, use a plastic glue and glue both shells and leave for 5 minutes,
then clamp the cartridge together and leave for 12 hours (or as per the glues instructions). To finish just over label
the case, you can use any front 3.5" floppy disk label (widely available & low cost) it will fit perfectly, one on the front
& one on the back. Finished!.
Ever wanted to make your own Commodore games/utility cartridges? This is the solution, burn your EPROM, install
and plug & go! That's it!
We have listed 5x 27c64 eproms & 5x Selectable Blank Cartridge PCBs to complete your cartridges.
If you have any questions just ask, we will combine postage.

The Commodore Store have a varied range of Commodore items for sale on eBay well worth looking at, hardware
and software most of the items are listed as brand new and indeed the Commodore 128 memory upgrade I ordered
was just that New never opened with full instructions and a test disk! I always wonder where people still find these
disks and hardware from.

Also a friend lists these to purchase he is based in America, he just lists he doesn’t have an eBay store, people can
contact him via eBay or - ray.lejuez@gmail.com
