Looking for Release copies of A64

25 July 2010, 16:11

I am the author of A64 - the Commodore 64 Emulator for the Amiga. Unfortunately all the source code and release copies I had were lost in a fire. Such a great piece of history gone forever

. I am looking for release copies that I can put up for free download on my website http://www.cliffdugan.com. I want to put together a page or two dedicated to A64 for historical purposes.

Thanks.

Hi Cliff and welcome to EAB!

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this site has version 3.01d it seems : http://www.fairlight.to/tools/amiga.html

25 July 2010, 17:17

Thanks for the quick reply. version 3.01d is the demo version that only runs for 10 minutes - the latest registered versions were 3.0 and 3.1 with no letter in the version. I'm interested in getting any and all the registered versions (especially the latest) - I already have all of the demo versions listed on my site: http://www.cliffdugan.com/A64Downloads.aspx. BTW: I'm working on the A64 pages in my site as I type this so info is changing.

I have 3.0 and 2.0d if those are useful

25 July 2010, 19:21

2.0d I already have. It would be great if I could get 3.0

25 July 2010, 19:25

Also, I no longer have an Amiga if anyone could recommend a good Amiga emulator to test the files I'm making available for download. That is something: a PC emulating an Amiga that's emulating a C64. I never would have thought it was possible.

If you run Windows that is. For Linux/Mac it's either http://www.rcdrummond.net/uae/ or http://github.com/GnoStiC/PUAE.

Mad-Matt · 25 July 2010, 21:25

Ive put the version I have in the zone

25 July 2010, 21:36

Thank you for V3.0 - I'll list on my site so anyone can download it.

I also have a pair of original disks, v.3.0 as well so I guess the matter is already solved.

Maybe not. Mad-Matt's version is an LHA archive. Original disk images may be preferable.

Cliff is hosting a mixture of LHA archives and DMS disk images on his site. So please go ahead and upload it anyway.

e5frog · 25 July 2010, 22:17

So what format is preferable? I thought adf or adz was most common for Amiga-disks nowadays.

prowler · 25 July 2010, 22:40

I would suggest you upload them as ADF images in a ZIP or RAR archive, and Cliff can convert them to DMS to match the other disk images on his website.

FreakyDan · 25 July 2010, 23:32

Version 3.01 uploaded to the zone.

I've uploaded my A64 Package V3.0 in DMS format to the Zone.

26 July 2010, 03:32

Thanks for all of the support - I'll grab them and put them up.

AmigaFriend · 26 July 2010, 03:36

Just uploaded version 2.0d in DMS format also.

26 July 2010, 03:55

Thanks to everyone for uploading versions. I have most of them listed on my site. I need to take some time and go through them and double check versions and release dates. I'll try to get them all in the same formats. Its great that everyone helped me to put this together. Now anyone can still download A64 (I know its not used much these days, but it is great from a nostalgic point of view).

lolafg · 26 July 2010, 15:21

hello , could someone explain how it works ?

It loads fine on a 68000 Amiga but never had a C64 so i'm a little bit lost...I'm using V3.01 from "the zone ".

Thanks in advance !!

Are you getting the Commodore 64 Start Screen? If so you can load C64 programs from your Amiga drives. If you don't have any programs for the C64 there are tons available for download. Maybe someone could point you in the right direction - to be honest I haven't even see a C64 program in quite some time. But, now that I set up the A64 page I'm kinda feeling nostalgic and will be testing and look at things. Does some one know of a good archive of freely available C64 programs?
