Hi, I'm Michael! (X16 ROM/Emulator Developer)

Post by Michael Steil »


Hello everyone!

My name is Michael Steil, and I'm a member of the X16 development team. I am the lead developer of:


  • the X16 ROM


    • the (advanced) KERNAL operating system


    • our version of the Microsoft/Commodore BASIC interpreter


    • our MONITOR


    • the DOS for the SD card


    • the GEOS port


    • the X16 character sets




  • the X16 Emulator


  • the X16 Reference Documentation


I'm thankful for any help on these projects, all of which are Open Source projects on GitHub:

https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-rom

https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator

https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-docs

(Edit: Or via this website's Support page: https://www.commanderx16.com/forum/index.php?/forum/17-x16-help-support-lounge/)

Technical discussions on these projects should happen in the form of "Issues" on GitHub, but I'm happy to discuss more generic topic here in this forum! ?

  Michael

Are you still accepting pull requests for r37? I can't help but notice that I have a relatively simple one that's been waiting for months... ?

Developer for Box16, the other X16 emulator. (Box16 on GitHub)
I also accept pull requests for x16emu, the official X16 emulator. (x16-emulator on GitHub)

I've been busy with all kinds of other projects for quite a while, but I'm back to X16 development now. I'm currently in the process of changing the emulator and the ROM over to revision 2 of the actual board, which has changed in respect to memory and VIA layout.

As for pull requests, that's the next thing that I'll have a look at!

Thank you for your effort!  I'm thrilled to see all of your KERNAL extensions, and looking forward to using them.
