--plugin C64_plugin_video.dll

Video File: "My Documents"/C64_video.ogv

With the video extension you are able to save a video file during playing or working with the emulator. Just activate the video recording by pressing the insert key.

I tried also to run the emulator in a web server environment as CGI to play a snapshot file in the emulation and transfer the video to the web client (Firefox). Here are the CGI calling arguments: c64_cgi.exe --no-output --plugin C64_plugin_video.dll --stream-video --stream-audio

--plugin C64_plugin_gif.dll

Picture File: "My Documents"/C64_animation.gif

Sound File: "My Documents"/C64_animation.wav

With the GIF extension you are able to save a gif animation file during playing or working with the emulator. Just activate the recording by pressing the insert key.

--plugin C64_plugin_script.dll

The user is able to develop extensions with the TScript engine (TScriptDll.dll).

Example Scripts:

• script_serial_file.tsc - load and save programs directly into your "My Documents" folder (as prg files).
• script_serial_web.tsc - load snapshot files from c64emulator.111mb.de
• script_webserver.tsc - tiny web-server which will show informations on a browser
• script_snapshot_history.tsc - load snapshots from the history by pressing multiple times Alt+F2

--plugin C64_plugin_debugger.dll

Debug your C64 programs include viewing assembler statements and memory.

--plugin C64_plugin_tv.dll

This is more a technical study and for fun. The extension simulates a multi-bank cartridge with an included asm program on it, which will be copy itself into the ram after execution. The program always switch to the next bank of the cartridge and copies the buffer into screen ram. The extension provides a single picture from the camera input, every time the bank selection changes. That means you can see a very simple video of the camera input.

--plugin C64_plugin_modem.dll

This is the beta version of an ESP8266 and an user-port RS232 modem. This extension provides the two modems, a web configuration, a REU Ram extension and an interface to provide the data transfer. The data transfer can be done through a TCP network server or an executable file (in-out pipes).

See the interface header (written in C) for details.

Additional there is a "C64_Extension_Interface.chm" help file available in the C64 program folder after installing the C64 Emulator.
