  <p>Wasteland on C64 was a very popular post-apocalyptic role playing game by Interplay. While sequels were planned, they never emerged daylight. However, The Wasteland setting and mechanics were the inspiration to create the Fallout-series which again was very successful on it's own.&nbsp;</p><p>A few years ago, Brian Fargo, the original producer of Wasteland acquired the brand rights which was owned by Konami back then. With his company inXile he started the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2">Kickstarter-Campaign</a> to make Wasteland 2 real. I remember Wasteland being one of the first high-profile Kickstarter-projects for games along with Broken Age by Double Fine. Timing probably was perfect for inXile at that point as the success was remarkable. Wasteland 2 collected $3,000,000, more than three times the budget Brian and his team originally asked for.</p><p>Funding period happened in April, 2012 and at that time inXile scheduled the release date for the finished product to sometime in September 2013. Looking back, this was impossible to achieve, not with this amount of money and the even bigger pressure to create an awesome product. &nbsp;</p>

  <p>So it actually took 2.5 years from start to finish and Wasteland 2 is now available&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/240760/?l=german">via Steam</a> as well as in a boxed version. I have not really played it yet but the reviews are just fine and it seems that fans as well as people new to Wasteland like the game. &nbsp;</p><p>While downloading Wasteland 2, I thought I check the original game briefly again. I looked for my original copies and loaded up the first disk. Of course, it still worked - don't take this for granted with a CD-ROM after 26 years by the way.&nbsp;</p><p> </p>

  <p>I ended up playing Wasteland 1 for a couple of hours! What a great ride back into the past. The setting and the great writing captures you immediately again. By the way, you can play Wasteland 1 on PC too as inXile <a target="_blank" href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/259130/">released a faithful port</a> during their Wasteland 2 development. &nbsp;</p><p>In the meantime, the Steam download on Wasteland 2 was completed and I briefly loaded the game. In 1988 we would have never believed in playing games with such advanced visuals on a really big screen at home. While I can not review the title at this point, I feel that the experience to have helped making this game real, is already very rewarding.</p>

  <p id="yui_3_17_2_1_1411319352154_87346">This is a movie documentary about the UK video games industry starting from the very early 80s. Originally&nbsp;<a target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/from-bedrooms-to-billions" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/from-bedrooms-to-billions">f</a><a target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/from-bedrooms-to-billions" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/from-bedrooms-to-billions">unded in August 2012</a>,&nbsp;the scope of the project became larger and larger. Additional money was collected, much more interviews than planned were recorded. It took Nicola and Anthony over two years to finish their ambitious project and from what I have seen so far, this documentary will become an instant classic.&nbsp;</p>

  <p>They put 2 hours 30 minutes of interviews, commentaries and old video reels into a very professionally made movie that certainly sets the benchmark for any next attempt to capture that industry of the past. &nbsp;The movie premiere is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/from-bedrooms-to-billions-screening-tickets-12999827835">this week</a> and I can't wait to have my backed Blu-Ray in the mailbox.</p><p>You should certainly <a target="_blank" href="http://www.frombedroomstobillions.com/">grab a copy</a> if you have the chance.&nbsp;</p>

  <h2>Commodore 64: A Visual Compendium by Sam Dyer (Shipped September 13, 2014)</h2><p>I know some retro enthusiasts engaged with Kickstarter-projects who wanted to pass on this one. From the actual campaign it looked rather unappealing. There was this individual Sam Dyer who wanted to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2146199819/commodore-64-a-visual-commpendium-by-bitmap-books">capture the magic of the C64 visuals</a>. I think quite a few people assumed, that he would just grab some screenshots and put them into a book. This statement would not do justice at all to the finished product which arrived in my mail yesterday. The Visual Compendium is a masterpiece and exceptionally well crafted. While it features &nbsp;tons of images it also comes with lots of statements by veterans of this long forgotten era of the games industry.&nbsp;</p>

  <p>The 200 full-color pages and printed lithography are of excellent quality. The selection of games and images will hardly let you miss anything. There is no book like this one and you will love to browse the various slides every now and then every year.&nbsp;</p><p>As opposed to the other two projects I introduced above, Sam Dyer managed to deliver in time! Funded in May 2014 and promised for delivery in September 2014, the book arrived on schedule. &nbsp;This is something you can not stress enough because it is incredible hard to not only plan and develop a product, whether it be small or large. You need to take care of "investors" who are pushing for results, you need to handle &nbsp;the organization of perks and other goodies and then there is of course the shipping process. Sam handled this more or less alone as an individual and published 50 email updates to backers along the way. My deepest respect for this achievement and professionalism - well done!</p><p>By the way, he will start another Kickstarter to create a corresponding Amiga Visual Compendium mid-October. If your next stop after C64 was the Commodore Amiga, this is the next Kickstarter project you want to support!</p><p>Here are some quickly done photos of the finished product. Click the image to cycle through a few pages.</p>

After a lot of foundational work we have now finally finished our first product which will be submitted sometime this week to the AppStores. &nbsp;You should check out our <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/kidcore.network">Facebook page</a> if this topic is interesting to you.&nbsp;</p><p>Anyways, during the last couple of months I usually worked in the evenings so I had no time to take care of my hobbies. However, now with the big milestone taken I think it's time to do some 6502-coding and blogging again. &nbsp;Hooray!&nbsp;</p><p>To give the blog post some more background, let me recap!&nbsp;</p><h3>Why writing tutorials for 30 Years old Hardware in 2014?&nbsp;</h3><p>When I started reading books on the Commodore C64 I was thinking a lot about how working with computers changed since 1985. While there is no doubt that a Billion more people use computers nowadays it seems that in the same breath no-one does know or cares why and how things work.&nbsp;</p><p>If you read this website you are somewhat interested in understanding (old) computers or pick up knowledge you did not when you were too young - like myself.&nbsp;</p><h3>Why the Commodore C64?</h3>

  <p><span>The C64 is a prime example for the art of engineering an elegant chipset.&nbsp;</span></p><p>The machine can do amazing effects if done right. No need for additional RAM or Turbo Cards. Any 30 years old C64 can run the latest demos released in the still very viable C64 scene which never stops to amaze me..&nbsp;</p><p>The C64 sold dozens of million times - everybody who grew up in the 80s knows about its games. &nbsp;It sold over 12 years in a more or less internally unchanged hardware. All sold C64 on the world will run the same software, will execute the same code, have the same limitations.&nbsp;</p><p>Though the machine can be considered more or less fully explored there are still new cool things discovered by further exploiting the chipset. Those findings are crafted into awesome effects in demos or artwork, never seen before - I think this is awesome.</p><p>When I read a good book on C64 programming or execute my own code, it's like understanding and talking to a very old friend.</p><p>Anyways, stay tuned for new episodes on dustlayer.com in the next couple of weeks. I still have to catch up myself as I got a bit rusty by not looking at 6502 code for 10 months. :-)</p><p>Feel free to connect on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/dustlayer.c64.coding">Facebook</a> or follow me on <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/actraiser">Twitter</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>-act</p>]]></description></item><item><title>Expect the Unexpected</title><dc:creator>actraiser</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jun 2013 20:34:05 +0000</pubDate><link>https://dustlayer.com/blog/2013/6/26/expect-the-unexpected</link><guid isPermaLink="false">511651d6e4b0a31c035e30aa:511ded73e4b0d58a0f3aa486:51cb4e1ae4b028e0e0b84620</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span>If you have wondered why there was no activity in the last few weeks on dustlayer.com regardless of the frequent updates done before: I lost my regular job when I returned from the United States early June. &nbsp;</span></p><p>Yes, life is hard sometimes and since it came a bit by surprise I had to quickly focus on exploring options what to do next.&nbsp;</p><p>The good news is that a plan has been laid out and I look forward to start a new venture soon.

The Arcade feeling is probably something which got lost with the Playstation Generation of gamers but I can connect a lot of memories with Arcades.</p><p>So sometimes last year I was thinking about building a MAME cabinet myself. I searched for some viable information on the web to look for good pointers. Some people build their cabinet from scratch, some use existing ones and remove all the original hardware but the Monitor and Sticks. Some looked horrible, some awesome.&nbsp;</p><p>As I am actually not a good carpenter I went with the plan to buy an existing machine to convert it to a MAME Cabinet. ​But then the next questions came up. What cabinet should I buy? What does it take to convert it to MAME. All I wanted is a cab which looked okay, worked well and was easy to mod.</p><p>Coincidentally some guy in one of the videogame forums I visit daily sold a Sega New Net City cab. It had the perfect foundation. It had a modern look, one of the best monitors from an arcade standpoint and lots of space inside, enough to hide a nice PC and all cables I had to add for the MAME experience. The monitor already came with standard VGA Outputs and the cabinet board had chinch connectors for the audio - it was perfect!&nbsp;</p><p><span>I&nbsp;</span><span>then bought a silent HTPC with some good specs and it fitted nicely into the available space.&nbsp;</span>Two XBOX360 Pads were ​disassembled and wired to the original arcade controls. The PC would recognize them via USB and I was able to map the sticks and 14 buttons without hassle in the MAME frontend.&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking of Frontends, I experimented with <a href="http://hyperspin-fe.com/" target="_blank">Hyperspin</a>&nbsp;but to be honest , all I wanted was to quickly play a game and not put 1+TB on Videofiles on my machine. So I ended up using <a href="http://mame32fx.altervista.org/home.htm" target="_blank">MAMEUIFX</a> - a simple straight forward MAME Frontend. To control it I connected a wireless Keyboard. You turn the cabinet on and can play within seconds. All I do i hit STRG-F to find a game in question and hit return and there we go.&nbsp;</p><p>What can I say - it's perfect, really. I am also glad my son can experience this too. We are a couple of times per week downstairs to play games like Bubble Bobble or Thunder Cross - he likes it. ​</p><p>Below are some pictures from the in- and outside plus some bonus photos of the pain getting this thing down to the basement and unpacked. If you have not grown up with large CRT Monitors you probably can not even imagine how heavy that stuff is - I had backache for a week - but it was worth it.​&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Technical Details Cabinet</strong></p><p></p><ul><li>Name: Sega New Net City also known a NNC</li><li><span>Type: Sitdown Cabinet</span></li><li><span>Released: 199X</span></li><li><span>Dimensions: 980 x 760 x 1750 (2030 with marquee) mm</span></li><li><span>Wiring:</span><span class="Apple-tab-span">	</span><span>JVS</span></li><li><span>Monitor: 29" 15/24/31kHz (Toshiba PF D29C051)</span></li><li><span>Rotatable: Yes</span></li><li><span></span><span>Weight: 117 kg</span></li><li>MAME PC: HTPC silent PC Intel i5 based with 8GB RAM</li><li>Controls: XBOX360 Pads</li><li>Seats: IKEA ​</li></ul>

You might know that I collect C64 Stuff but also Retro Videogames. I hope you enjoy to looking at some of the photos.&nbsp;</p><p>I will go down into my Retro lair and try to dig up some interesting stuff for a picture gallery on a regular basis. ​For the future I will set some theme to each gallery (e.g., Horror Games on C64) but for the first one, I have just grabbed some pictures I took in the last few weeks and months. Have Fun!</p><p>-act</p>

I have updated the plugin and the Warning has disappeared</li><li>For whatever reason the important Build-Scripts for 6502 and BASIC have not been copied with the first released version of DUST (0.4.0).

However, you may have some other tool installed on OSX that already associated the extension .exe , e.g. Unarchiver. To fix this, just right click on any Win32 Application which are stored under your Home directory under&nbsp;<em>/Wine Files/drive_c/Program Files&nbsp;</em>​and adjust the file association to Wine.</li></ul><p></p><p>​</p>

<p>When I got my very own C64 with Datasette in 1984 I was just one of the many kids who were more interested in playing the latest games than to actually do creative work with the machine. Being a 9 years old I did not understand how games were programmed or great looking intro effects were created. I was not even really knowing what the POKE command internally did other than to help me to set border colors or cheat in some of the games. </p>

<p>It took me another two years to try to mimic cracking groups but with my very limited set of expertise. So my first release I swapped in school was <a href="http://www.lemon64.com/?game_id=411">Camelot Warriors</a> which I copied from Tape to Disk using the Freeze Frame MK III cartridge. I even put a BASIC intro with some Escape Sequences magic in front of the game loader - wow! My handle back then was "The Gamehunter" or TGH and chances are at 100% you never heard of me - anyways this was the time I got interested in more than just playing games. </p>

  <p>Five years have passed since I got my C64 in 1984. I moved on to Amiga, got involved into the scene as independent trader. On Amiga I got more interested in actually working with the machine. I swapped source codes with a friend and used the Kefrens Seka assembler to add for example a soundtracker replay routine or change scroll texts. &nbsp;Another friend at school taught me some basic assembler stuff which I forgot a short time later. What I was more interested in on Amiga though was doing music with Soundtracker/Protracker - unfortunately, all my work from that time got lost.&nbsp;</p><p>With the internet changing the way we were looking at world wide communication I decided to start a website for a new platform and that platform was the brand new Nintendo 64. The website was at the beginning called <em>Doc64 Page</em> and a bit later <em>dextrose.com</em>. Dextrose.com became the largest resource on N64 programming, hacking and latest scene news. I was fortunate enough to find some real cool people in the city next to mine who were joining Dextrose and together we made it big. Along the way I founded scene group called <a href="http://nforush.net/scene-release/dupecheck-result.html?page=1&amp;entries=&amp;name=msftug" target="_blank">MSFTUG</a> which for quite some time was one of the leading release groups on N64. I didn't code but rather supplied, organized and spread releases and maintained the website of course. For what it's worth, MSFTUG and Dextrose were really great projects with members worldwide. I made lots of friends I still have contact to after so many years.</p>

  <p>Real life began and while I was still an avid gamer I have left the scene behind me. Dextrose was put to grave. The name lived on for a year when I set up a new company in 2009 but it was sold only one year later eventually. Today I work for the company who I sold Dextrose to.&nbsp;</p><p>Along the way I married, got kids and a house. So the basic stuff is covered now, life is actually fine! With me settled I found my interest again in the good old times. I started to collect original boxed C64 games and set up my basement to reflect my childhoods best memories with consoles from the past and of course all the Commodore stuff - but now I additionally wanted to catch up on all the things I have not understood when I was young.</p>

  <p>I started to source all kinds of books for the C64 - I actually dislike reading books on a screen. I was in particular interested in the 6502 assembly language. I soon realized that knowing the syntax is just one requirement to develop software. &nbsp;The actual key is to study the hardware and get to understand how all the pieces inside and outside the C64 interact. So I learned about memory layouts, the processor, custom chips and the interfaces. It was fascinating - at one go I understood what was going on how things work. I thought I was ready to learn how to develop intros or even games - how optimistic I was.&nbsp;</p><p>It &nbsp;became clear that all those books are a very basic foundation of what the C64 is capable of but to write demos or even games you need to go look out for more resources or help. Fortunately there are hundreds of sites covering the C64 on the web yet I have not found anything I would rank as a personal top site to go for new developers. There are sometimes interesting things in forums or spread using traditional txt-files or even d64 images and there are a few dedicated websites to C64 programming. However, I found that the content is often hard to follow for a beginner.&nbsp;</p>

  <h2>Finding the starting point</h2><p>So when I decided to learn 6502 code at some day in 2012, my first goal was - of course - to code a simple intro with some music, scroller and color cycle effect. Searching the internet brought no instant satisfying result. There are probably hundreds of Website with resources on Commodore C64. Many of those websites are quiete old, some have not been updated in years and some actually work up information in a sub optimal way by today standards - TXT-files or even .d64 format is not a popular solution anymore to publish tutorials.</p><p>Then people use different assemblers and syntaxes, some document code, some don't. I thought this can be done differently for people who want to begin coding the C64.&nbsp;</p>

  <p>I think there is something which I can do okay and that is dissecting information and simplify it so even my grand dad could understand what I am talking about. So this site will be that resource of rehashed information. I will create tutorials for people who want to start coding on the C64 and maybe have already some basic understanding of the inner workings or have read a book on machine language.</p><p>By the way, while I was studying 6502 assembler, something else came up though: I realized that it was really tedious to get a good working cross development system setup on a Mac. I wrote a little tool to help with this - the tool grew and now it can not only setup your Mac OSX system but also provides commands to download the latest tutorial code from this site and do some other useful things for you on the command line.&nbsp; <a href="https://dustlayer.com/c64-coding-tutorials/2013/2/10/dust-c64-command-line-tool">Learn all about <em>dust&nbsp;</em>in this dedicated tutorial.</a></p>
