    c64os is a very cool project. it's a modern operating system that pushes the bounds of what's possible on the C64. it's commercial software, available for about $60, and has a full application SDK.

    i haven't tried it in a while, but if anyone is interested i have a cross-compiler workspace setup here: https://github.com/woodrowbarlow/c64os-example-app

    (the include files probably need to be updated)

    i also worked on a python package for bundling/unbundling "car" files (a single-file bundle-archive format used by c64os): https://github.com/woodrowbarlow/c64os-util

    Great! It's always been fun to code on the C64 !!

    I'll definitely take a look at the guide to see if I can make something using my normal Kickassembler setup. I don't know if it's some kind of API, but sounds like fun to find out :)

      the author of c64os uses turbo macro pro, so all the include files are in tmp format. there was an un-official kick-assembler port floating around, but i don't know if it's still updated.

      C64OS is (contrary what the name would suggest) not the "OS" of any stock C64, it's a commercial aftermarket "OS"

    Wow. I might have paid $59 in 1984 for this.
