C64 OS

C64 OS is a system of sufficient complexity that, like modern operating systems, it requires a boot device that is capable of certain minimum requirements.

Ten years ago, later this year, I started this blog.

There are a lot of Commodore 64s out there.

Have you ever heard of the NEOS mouse?

Let's talk about PETSCII and ASCII, what they are and how to convert between them properly and losslessly.

This post is basically a white paper, but it's in a non-formal blog post style.

Back in 1986, Berkeley Softworks released the first version of GEOS v1.0 for the Commodore 64.

This is my first blog post of 2025.

I haven't blogged about World of Commodore since 2019.

C64 OS v1.07 is currently in beta testing.

For the last few months I have been super hard at work on the next major update to C64 OS, version 1.07.

I haven't done a hardware review in a while, but I have acquired a few new pieces of hardware to test with C64 OS for compatibility.

Here is a blog post about some general programming theory and practice on the C64, that I personally find useful and hopefully you'll find it useful too.

The news is that C64 OS version 1.06 has just been released, March 22, 2024.

I'm super busy, so I'm going to have to keep this blog post short.

Hi everyone.

The free software update v1.04 of C64 OS was released last month, June 2023.

Mounting and mouse wheel?

Happy New Year Commodore 64 lovers, welcome to 2023.

To all C64 fans and most especially to the people who had gotten used to reading my blog posts and getting news and updates on my progress, it is an exciting time.

Hello folks and welcome back to another blog post on C64 OS.

I wrote the first two posts in a 3-part series about the VIC-II and FLI Timing (Part I and Part II,) but I have a lot to say about things I'm working on presently, and I don't want to miss the moment to talk about them while they're fresh in my mind.

This post is part 2 of a 3 part series.

A few updates first, I'll try to keep these brief.

Let's begin with a fun update on something I've been working on.

Welcome back Commodore 64 fans and users.

Well, time is ticking along at an extraordinary pace.

Before we get started on the topic of shared libraries, I wanted to draw attention to a recent update to the Commodore 8-Bit Buyer's Guide.

File Management is considered to be one of the most central parts of an operating system.

Welcome to 2021, let's hope it turns out better than 2020.

A quick update, I am working on Beta 0.5 of C64 OS.
