Expanding the C64's capabilities

[Quantum Reality]

If you're curious I dug up a program which you can punch in within the emulator to extend C64 DOS if you want more flexibility in your programming.

Enjoy.

Eighty columns on a C64.

(unfortunately this program isn't shown on the web page. If you can find a microfilmed/scanned/PDFed copy of the magazine page you're in business.)

Need to get more RAM in the emulator somehow?

Get 16K extra.

The basic principle is similar to the way you can switch in the Language Card on the Apple (which also has switchable 16K banks) as well as how you use the 80column soft switches to also trigger switching between two 64K banks of memory on a //e or //c.

Play around with text and graphics and crap. Might be useful.

Darendor lamented the lack of hi-res on the C64. Actually, it does exist, just that apparently you need to do some hornswoggling to use it.

Will keep looking.

Find out more about the stuff on your C64 floppies:

Again, the program is not provided but if you go looking for the actual magazine and/or scans it'll be there.

Save binary files to disk directly:

And woot, here's some hi-res command stuff:

And that's it, I'm done for now.

Oh, if you're curious, this page explains how the MLX thing works and if you're smart, you can figure out how to enter stuff even if you lack MLX.

Sticky please.

I'm quite interested in finding this program.

Looks like you got your mitts on it. Where was it?

[Darendor]

In the glove box.

I looked on the Google.
