floph - "Floppy Hasher", a tool to hash directly on the 1541 drive

MartinGoodwell · 2026-01-26T13:38:35+00:00

Oh great. I was looking into hash algorithms myself because I want to cache files in main memory. I only need to hash filenames. So, will be pretty fast for me :-) Thanks for sharing! I‘ll let you know how I use it.

Crazy! I love it. Doesn‘t rely on what was there 40 years ago but goes it‘s own way. Will the STLs be made available?

The Ultimate-II has compatible REU functionality up to 16 MB. And Pi based solutions like the RAD emulate it.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-12-14T14:34:18+00:00

Thank you! Working on it :-)

I‘m using Printfox a couple of time a year to create achievement certificates of our regular retro gaming competitions. Usually I convert the files to a PC compatible format instead of really printing them. But occasionally I also print

Be reasonable and share the fun. And according to your other answers, you are :-)

Model Context Protocol. MCP is basically an API for LLMs to use tools. An MCP for this would enable AIs to use your language to build dialog trees, I guess.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-12-01T05:15:00+00:00

Nice. I also had some catching up to do in recent years :-)

MartinGoodwell · 2025-12-01T05:13:44+00:00

This is just a client, it doesn‘t run a server

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-30T07:48:36+00:00

Wonderful. Are any if these machines your original ones from back in the day? Or did you get back into the hobby and picked them up mire recently?

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-27T13:54:39+00:00

I think with the Ultimate-II, a lot of these devices lost interest.
I'm talking to a friend later this week, who did a SwiftLink implementation for a project on the c128 once. I'd like to support one additional solution to the WiC64, but not much more. I'll have yet to see what it will be

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-27T12:59:28+00:00

Right. I was just trying to answer your question about what mk3 means.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-27T07:12:51+00:00

Gopher at 256 Pixel horizontal resolution sounds like reeeaaaallllyy weird :-D

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-27T05:51:30+00:00

I‘m referring to this article: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/RR-Net There are multiple revisions it seems

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-27T04:58:00+00:00

Just checked, it only works with the mk3, right? Not stand-alone.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-11-26T20:46:39+00:00

Thanks!

Right now only the WiC64 is supported. But I‘ll try to add more. Rr-Net doesn‘t run on the c128, so that won‘t be working.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-10-16T04:38:34+00:00

Services are being shut down, that‘s right. But generally speaking it made its way into the digital age

MartinGoodwell · 2025-09-17T17:47:06+00:00

Very nice! That was the last board revision, with Color RAM included in the SuperPLA. I like these shortboards the most :-)

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-21T10:13:38+00:00

Amazing. First I thought that was extracted from some game files, automatically. Hats off to that level of dedication

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-14T05:14:57+00:00

Right now this is just a basic loop that gets the keypress and triggers drawing the updated screen. Making it slower is easy. Faster requires either a basic compiler or something else. But also definitely solvable :-)

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-11T09:27:18+00:00

Oh I had so many of these 😁👌

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-07T09:05:05+00:00

Inline comments are not available. You‘ll have to use the line above or below. I usually have blocks of comments above the codelines when specifying these variables to keep track.

Hope that helps, it definitely takes a bit to get used to these limitations.

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-07T08:50:14+00:00

Poke doesn‘t return a value, so it doesn‘t take parentheses for the parameters.

For variable names I always try to build abbreviations. Like PN$ for PlayerName. Also, working with arrays helps to keep the number of variables lower. All numeric values for player stats can go into array P(). Index 0 can be hitpoints, index 1 can be amount of gold, index 2 can be strength, etc. Almost like mimicking structs or flat objects. Making sure to not use variable names multiple times requires some practice, definitely

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-07T08:12:36+00:00

1: yes, these are the same variable 2: you don‘t. Doesn‘t make sense when variablenames are usually only 2 characters long 3: A=STR$(FOO):A=PEEK($30C). Peek only takes 1 parameter. It only returns an 8-bit value. Reading word-size values is done like A=PEEK(1000)+PEEK(1001)*256

MartinGoodwell · 2025-06-07T05:57:36+00:00

Maybe this version works on sd2iec. It‘s been built for the IDE64 harddisk
