  1. It's been a while that I posted here. Been busy converting #Larry to #EasyFlash #C64 cartridge format. That took a whole lot of time and effort to learn new tricks, but I finally have the hang of it. Here's an experimental bit of the intro sequence I'm making for the game now that I have a full megabyte of ROM to work with. The speed difference really is astounding compared to even the fastest disk loader. I'm still going with disk for savegames, though. EasyFlash emulation isn't perfect on all platforms so I'll treat the cart as 100% ROM only. I wrote a few CLI tools to help me prep .CRT builds. Cartman for CRT building: code.area536.com/Public/cartma and Kla2kick for bitmap to ASM processing: code.area536.com/Public/kla2ki Both are very rough around the edges but they work. They're BSD-licensed so have at them if you like!

  2. The #EasyFlash CR is a cost reduced version of the EasyFlash 1 cartridge by Daniel Mantione for the #Commodore #C64.
    I just finished soldering this kit.
    You can get it from here:

    (gerbers and schematics also available).

  4. New soldering kit for an #EasyFlash 1 CR (=Cost Reduced) has arrived.
    Unfortunately for me a "routine surgery" has kicked me in the balls more than anticipated. So no soldering for me atm.🤷‍♂️

  6. This is the first test of using an emulated #Commodore64 and #EasyFlash cartridge with the video hardware. The C64 is copying around 360KB of data. The screen and audio is deliberately enabled during the transition between title and game, for debugging. Real hardware next...
