USBhost-64 code example
I thought to share a code snippet from the Koala Painter picture loader tool I wrote for USBhost-64. Bear in mind there are a number of ways to load hires pictures in a faster way, especially if the data in … Continue reading

USBhost-64 benchmark test results!
Combining together the performance meter and the inline version of the USB write routines (i.e. with quite some optimization active), I got pretty decent throughput results: circa 16.42 kB/s! The real highest throughput value is slightly higher than this as a … Continue reading

USBhost-64: 16-bit tape imaging tool on C64 works fine!
I had to write the tool twice from scratch, but dumping tapes directly on a C64 using 16-bit wide samples at CPU frequency is now possible and reliable thanks to the use of USBhost-64 🙂 Bear in mind that a … Continue reading
