Lots of C64 games have been coming out in the past few years that almost look like Amiga games.Most are free, too. Or "pay whatever you want or nothing." And the non-free ones? Well, they're cracked, trained, and intro'd by the best. Some of the people in the scene have been doing it for over 40 years.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sELUtMnKkFs
C64 SMB source port using original assets and code where possible, but all graphics and sount routines were written from scratch for C64 obviously, but it still needs SuperCPU or some other form of turbo for smooth play:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLb0SDlvmfIC64 Game Gear Sonic, this one's excellent and runs without a hitch but it's not a port, it's all original code re-implementing the game, so it runs perfectly on a stock C64:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4CGwp4N9xgC64 Puzzle Bobble, port of the MVS version. This one also runs great on a stock C64:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eqMTktsShAC64 Eye of the Beholder, with entirely new hand-drawn graphics for the C64 (not converted) which are faithful to the original in every possible way, this one doesn't need a faster CPU but requires a 16MB REU:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jojvXF6JlvEIn fact the C64 got more new exclusive games last month, than the Nintendo Switch, XBox Series series, and PS5 have *COMBINED* lel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYU7bqXKdIs
>>12863267>Nintendo Switch*2
Awesome post anon!I'm more of a speccyfag but I love seeing new microcomputer homebrews.
>>12863321Spectrum scene exists, but it's maybe got 1/100th the energy compared to C64 scene.
It's a bit old now, but I recommend the Metal Warrior quadrilogy. They're very polished action adventure games with an ongoing story centered around the main character Ian Smith. If you haven't played them yet I recommend starting with MW Ultra which retells the story of MW1. Think of it as a heavily upgraded first game in the series.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOFcboudOB0
Was Newcomer any good? I was waiting forever for some ultimate edition to come out and I sort of forgot about it.
>>12863630Yeah, I completely forgot about this game. There's like three versions - Newcomer, Newcomer Enhanced Edition and Newcomer Ultimate Edition. The last one has been in development for like a decade now, but from what I'm reading it's never going to be released because the authors lost the files for it. The game looks cool and ambitious.
>>12863648Ah, so that's why the ultimate edition was never released. Outside of the screenshots, I never could find any actual gameplay footage of it. Only the intro which was pretty cool.
>>12863687They were working on a version of Ultimate Edition for the PC in 2017 supposedly, but I guess that went nowhere. The C64 game is still listed on Protovision's website as a work in progress, so who really knows at this point. The C64 Ultimate Edition was supposed to address the issue with compatibility with NTSC machines, so I guess it isn't that different from the Enhanced Edition.
>>12863648>he last one has been in development for like a decade nowI remember reading a walkthrough for the original game in something like 1996 or 1997.
>>12863438Haha, eh? Eat your heart outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg4FC8Pwb5ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEl4fecZeGE
>>128634381/1000th of the energy and interest. c64 still #1 8-bit computer people are making crap for>>12863725>when you can't even compete, just pretend that you are competingcool
>>12863696>The C64 Ultimate Edition was supposed to address the issue with compatibility with NTSC machinesthey still haven't addressed the compatibility problems introduced at day one of manufacturing so it's unlikely any bugs / problems will be addressed in any other version unless it's a problem that breaks the machine and stops it from functioning. i've asked about it. bugs with emulation of various components are not considered high priority for them. i'm also told they did very little compatibility testing despite having the tools and software to do it. lol.
>>12863834Compete with what? 1MHz slog and earth-tone faggotry?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epYW3gC6GtU
>>12863871>1MHz slog says raging lolcowlmao. z80 runs at 3-4mhz and is literally slower than a 6502 because z80 takes insane amount of clock cycles to execute similar instructions. this is why z80 runs at 3mhz or greater. here's the spec sheet:http://www.z80.info/z80time.txtanyway, this is a c64 thread. not a spam thread for losers and lolcows that make up schizo fantasies about computers and consoles you've never seen or owned and don't understand how they function
>>12863956Sure, sure, that's why Outrun-like racing games are so good on C64 and totally not a slide show eyesore. Because its powerful CPU has no problem doing math. And system is generally known for great variety instead of just sprites moving on X,Y. Keep telling yourself that.https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%B8%80%E4%BA%BA%E5%B0%BA%E5%85%AB

Damn, I go to sleep and the thread gets filled with system warring cucks, including the "lolcow" retard.Lovely.
Last few months ive stocked up on a 128, 128D and 64C, and will probably also grab another 128D and regular 64 from my local shop.
has anyone ever made a TATE (vertical screen) game for it? i remember experimenting and realizing how confusing writing input code for that could be lmao
>>12864076>seething nobody cares>>12864183nah. i recall a few crack intros doing something like that. requiring people to flip their commodore crt or lounge room tv is a big ask. and since there's no flipping modes of any kind in the vic2, everything is made extra painful
>>12864019Hahaha, you're the SNES retard! OMG this is so funny! You're that faggot who goes around making 1000 SNES posts trying to prove how it doesn't suck because "clock cycle". And there aren't any homebrews on SNES just because programmers aren't good enough for this venerable system.And now you invested probably like a thousand in C64 junk and post the same shit.Hahaha, bruh... look up Hard Drivin' and Carrier Command and Freescape games on C64 and stop embarrassing yourself.
>>12864183https://zeroglabs.itch.io/galaga-c64-porting-projectThere's this, but it's a couple days old and still not finished.

>>12864793??? Are you retarded?, I mean, I know you are, but really, how retarded can you be?Since when does spectrumcomputing list images?Ok, let's test the limits of your mental disability, go to spectrumcomputing and in the form pick "Machine : ZX Spectrum" and "Genre : Games", and now click "Search ZXDB". Write that number down.Now head to lemon64 and click on games (no form this time, surely you can manage) and note what number it says.Which one is higher?Dutifully awaiting your response.
>>12864848>doesn't know how a z80 works>gets caught out spamming previous threads and got humiliated>keeps exposing himself as a mindless and talentless fraudDutifully awaiting your response.
>>12864860Damn, no apology, no contrition, no admission of wrongdoing and no promise to be better?I'm not the anon you were waving a link with instructions timings at as if it were a holy symbol before a vampire, btw. But I know you have trouble with the concept of there being multiple anonymous posters.
>sperg accountingCSDb is a scene database that documents scene releases (not just game cracks), not game releases. Lemon64 is sorely lacking.GB64 lists 31695 titles. The search's year dropdown sucks (only goes to 2023), but it does include games released in 2026 (you can manually edit the year number in the link). Spectrum computing lists 33118, but seems much more complete when it comes to type-ins. This is with the ZX Spectrum machine type which should include all Spectrums.GB64 lists 356 games in 2025.Spectrum computing lists 261 games in 2025.Solved your spergument.
>>12864863You seem more reasonable and this is actually an interesting topic.If you pick only games spectrumcomputing lists 18273 entries currently.One problem with GB64 is that it lists duplicates (see picrel), it'd be interesting if you could list by unique entries. Spectrumcomputing also has that issue, but only when it comes rereleases in game packs.
>>12864880*comes to
>>12864880The various languages being counted seperately is my biggest gripe (though it is interesting for text adventures), as that seems to be the biggest inflator of the numbers. I also notice some games having a market and diskmag release listed. I don't know if GameBase (the program) has filters, as I only really use its DB.
>>12863247Do modern graphics card also have hidden, undiscovered graphics modes noone's ever discovered?
>>12865171Probably only spyware that people haven't found, sadly.
>>12864191yeah i also ran into this problem where i'd have to rotate every character myself. strange considering they wanted to sell the VIC-II as an arcade chip at first.>>12864320exactly what i mean. pretty cool.
>>12863247This right here is why I can't get into C64
>>12864862>>12864863>when you're so fucking stupid you try to make up wild stories about CPUs and get destroyed by people forever smarter than you>and then exposed as a comical loser that thought every spectrum release was a gameIt's great how anons take screenshots of stupid fucking idiots like yourself to remind other 4chan users how fucking stupid you truly are. Dutifully awaiting your response, dumbest loser 4chan has ever seen.
>>12865537>lolcow picks random colour and tries to be funnystill looking like an intellectually bankrupt fraud and loser. have you tried posting more snes screenshots of games you don't own?>>12865436>strange considering they wanted to sell the VICm-II as an arcade chip at first.that was a market they thought they could sell to but arcade industry didn't need them. same story with the sid. as soon as c64 when into production commodore were no longer interested in selling chips to use by other manufacturers as commodore needed every last one of them to stuff into millions of c64s.arcade manufacturers need to have an edge over the competition so they were constantly coming up with their own solutions for graphics as enormous circuits on motherboards and eventually moved to ASICs and FPGAs. the release of the ym2151 chip (1984) made sid look like an ancient relic despite being only 2 years old, something like that. far better than what commodore could come up. commodore had a realistic 2-5 years or less of selling crap to an arcade market already full of competition before many of these arcade manufacturers decided to abandon 8-bit systems entirely.
>>12866050t. sperg that doesn't know what website he is posting, nor what the numbers actually mean. There's a reason you need to resort to talking to yourself.
>15 posts hiddenNice of them to type like a completely predictable mongoloid. At most you'll have to change one word to fix it. Reminder that it is insanely afraid of screenshots, so try posting them. Bonus points if you write about the game. You people do play games, right?
>>12866169>>12866181>gets exposed as same loser spectrum fag that had a meltdown because he was wrong - with proof>posts random screenshot of csdb for some reason>still having the worst mental collapse imaginable because he doesn't know how a z80 works and was proven to be a drooling retard in one postIt's great how 4chan's /vr/ is no longer the personal blog of a fucking loser and intellectually bankrupt fraud that can't understand the basics behind a database nor can read manuals to understand how CPUs function.
>>12866261fuck off retarded schizo, nobody likes you
>>12866264>everyone is the same person that humiliates meapparently not. looks like many anons here know you're a spamming fraud and massive loser that contributes nothing to this board. look at all of your cope posts about spectrum.. in a c64 thread. and you couldn't even get that right. embarrassing. what's next loser fraud? z80 has magic pixie dust inside or is it faster than 68000? spectrum has 4 billion unique games that nobody can seem to find? looking forward to your next make believe fantasy tales
>>12866181Seems this rattled him, another 3 hidden posts! I've basically invented a free bumping robot.
>>12866429>everyone is rattled!>says loser and intellectually challenged fraud that everyone laughs atdoes replying to yourself actually work when the entire board can see that you're nothing more than a loser and a fraud? I don't even understand what is going on and it's clear to anyone using this board you're nothing more than a lying retard fraud >>12863956>destroys the fraud with one post it's funny how posting this one file completely destroyed his schizo fantasy about how CPUs works

Squeal piggy, squeal!
>>12866734>when your mental collapse is so bad you think you're winning by reading and hiding postslosers really are like this. tell us more great stories about the z80, a chip you've never seen, used and know nothing about.it's great archives exist so we can truly see just how much of a loser and fraud that you are.you're only embarrassing yourself.
>>12866734>biggest abject failure discovers 4chan is no longer his personal blog for brain damaged schizophrenic spammersTragedy. have you tried posting more snes screenshot threads for people to laugh at?
Thread back on top of the catalog? No worries, my filter got them both. Here's an image of an SNES. I'd say I prefer it and its games over the C64 (but not the Spectrum of course), thoughts about me as a person based on this information?
>>12866765>he really thinks people buy his lies and schizo make believe fantasies>posts snes, another system he knows nothing about>in a c64 threadit's always great watching anons destroy you every minute of the day. tell everyone more about the glorious z80 you know nothing about. your make believe lies are always the most hilarious lies
>>12864880no. spectrum has 4 billion games and the z80 is powered by magical pixie dust that makes it faster than a silicon graphics machine. commodore 64 didn't become best selling computer of all time because it didn't have 4 billion games. it's true. I just made up.
>>12864848>>12866734>>12866429>>12866264>when your lies are so unbelievably trash that the entire website decides to shit on youtruly glorious>6 gorillion spectrum releases!!lmao. it's amazing how someone that posts so much about it knows nothing about it at all. what a non-surprise to everyone here.
Whatever he's squealing about, it's not passing my filters.Is there anything wrong with this image? What media format should I look for if I want to acquire games for it?
>>12866809>Is there anything wrong with this image?yes. it was posted by a spamming loser and fraud that doesn't understand how a CPU like the z80 works and thinks spectrum released 4 billion or so games. what a loser. lmao.
Okay, that's been added to the list (including some variants). You got me with that one, so it's currently 1 - 27 in my favour.Now I think the NES, or as I have recently taken to calling it the Family Computer, is the best system ever made. I find it objective fact that consoles and especially computers released prior to this are garbage that never amounted to anything nor have anything worth playing around with. I say this and then piss on your C64. This doesn't actually damage it as its PSU was dead anyway, and might actually improve the color which saves you on getting retrobright. Will you pay me for doing you this service?
>>12866825>>12866809>spamming lolcow's destruction: the entire threadit's great how fucking stupid you really are and all it takes are anons to make one or two posts to show everyone just how fucking stupid you are - using your own posts too. that makes it incredibly glorioustell us more about this z80 chip that you know absolutely nothing about.

That's another miss (and two when I was typing too!). Thanks for helping me with my filters anyway, productive day and I honestly don't think one of your posts will get through until someone updates your script.If you are going to continue your spergout, please keep one of my recent posts as a reply. Everyone is definitely me, but this way I get notified when one of your posts get through. Thanks in advance.
>>12866853It's truly a glorious meltie, isn't it? One has to wonder what kind of life a (supposedly) 40+yo man leads in order to spend what should be a working day posting the same obsessive nonsense time and time again.
>>12866860>spam spam spam spam >filters, guys!yet another totally believable story from a registered sex offender living on the eastern side of the united states that doesn't know how a CPU works lmao
>>12866864>tries the old replying to himself tactic like every other spam thread this sex offender participates in>failsthat's always great. never works because everyone knows that you're one of the dumbest fucking dumb cunts 4chan has ever seen.
Since this is the only thread that mentions Amiga, considering that AI is supposed to be able to solve everything now with the trillions of dollars poured into it, why is there still no Amiga emulator that requires no proprietary BIOS to run without sacrificing game compatibility?
>>12863871>>12863970>z80 is better than 6502!>"how does a z80 work exactly, schizo retard?">*posts snes, amiga and other cancer*>in a c64 thread>still can't answerlast two years have been a complete disaster for you. things are only getting worse. it's great that you can't use the board as your personal blog for schizophrenia. Dutifully awaiting your response.
>>12866871Because games do things like jump to hardcoded locations inside the original ROM. So your open-source BIOS replacement would have to be binary identical with the original.
>>12866892ntaThat sounds very strange (I've only emulated a few games casually). I'm curious, can you give some examples?. How do they return back to their code? Does that mean that the games may break if you use a different kickstart version?
>>12866892catch the addresses and direct them to your own routines instead
>>12866892>>12866897>>12866902>when you keep replying to yourself but everyone knows you're just a spamming fucking fraud that knows 0% about how any computer works because anons are smarter than youwow. what a totally convincing conversation! does this actually fool anyone or do you have to be a registered sex offender living in the eastern states of the USA to believe it?
>>12866897 (me)>How do they return back to their code?Ok, I guess you meant the BSR (Branch to subroutine) instruction. I'm used to x86 where that's a CALL, not a JMP.
>>12866897>Does that mean that the games may break if you use a different kickstart version?Yes. Even on actual hardware some people have ROM switchers for this reason

Thought I'll do a welfare check. since you seemed unwell the last time I was here and sure enough you're still popping your veins.I just mean - bragging about amount is kinda lame. C64 sure is the easiest to program on so you're catching all the junk 5 year olds are throwing out. I wouldn't be putting that on my fridge.

>>12863956Yeah, but most 6502 machines were clocked closer to 2mhz by that point. Z80A is still noticeably faster than a 1mhz 6502 in spite of the cycle difference. VIC-II and SID have advantages that makes C64 games play well regardless, but in terms of raw CPU output, it is less efficient than Z80A-based machines like the Spectrum.
