Vice 3.2 Mac OS X

I’ve compiled vice which is now compatible with 10.9+. The official build is only compatible to 10.12. In order to compile it on my system (10.11) I did:

  • Install Xcode and command line utilities
  • Download a 10.9 SDK: Old SDKs
  • Patch the build file: remove the “clang workarounds for now” (line 198-201) of file “build-vice-dist.sh”
  • Start the build tool: DEV_BASES=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ ./build/macosx/build-vice-dist.sh x86_64 10.9 clang cocoa dmg

C64: 512k RAM/Module Expansion

Last weekend I’ve finished my first CPLD experiment, which (of course) was an project for the C64. This small extension is a GeoRAM compatible RAM extension or a EasyFlash like extension. It’s possible to switch between them via software. In other words you can use it as pure ram or load cartridges in the ram and play (instead of burning eprom modules).
