The format is trivial... I think it's 2 bytes of load address followed by the raw data. No checksum. But how did people save their asm code without an emulator?

I guess I could write a BASIC program which calls OPEN and PRINT# to dump the memory into a file, but it there must be an easier way... right?

I have a #C64 asm programming question.

A few years ago, I used VICE's monitor to write some asm code directly in memory at $C000, and then I "saved" it into a snapshot.

I was able to re-install that particular VICE version and reload the snapshot, but now... how do I save it into a proper PRG file?

Turbo Imploder is an executable cruncher for AmigaOS.

It wasn't particularly fast nor had a good compression ration, but, boy, it came an amazing soundtrack and and even VU meters with rasterbars!

(someone should make a new video capture where compression doesn't fail, so we could hear the "save file" tune)

Did you know that Satoru Iwata (the legendary CEO of Nintendo) was an unpaid intern at Commodore Japan in Akihabara and wrote a videogame for the VIC20?

Incredible. Someone reverse-engineered the 3D renderer of Frontier: Elite II for the #Amiga and wrote a player in C capable of rendering the intro on modern graphics. Looks identical to me, including the sound.

Note: this isn't an Amiga emulator, it's a rewrite of the rendering engine, similar to ScummVM, but limited to the 3D graphics and synth.

I've only ever seen a small fraction of them in real life.
