So our Flash Commodore 64 emulator project, FC64, got nominated for the Flashforward Film Festival recently (read my previous post). The 60 finalists are given the opportunity to submit a 45 second trailer showcasing the work, that will be shown live in front of 1000 people at the ceremony.
I won’t spoil it so i won’t show the trailer here (you gotta wait until after the Flash Film Festival ceremony or better yet attend it to see it). What i can do though is - in the spirit of open source - show you the source code
That’s awesome! FC64, our Commodore C64 emulator for Flash Player 9, is a Flashforward Film Festival Finalist in the Technical Merit category! Whoohoo! Please vote for FC64 in the People’s Choice voting! Thanks a lot!
Now imagine if this was based on Flash Player 9 and powered by a sane, standards compliant framework.
I was invited by Adobe to join them in San Francisco for the two day Adobe Component Developer Summit (ACDS) last month. The event was a blast to say the least, surely the best developer get-together i’ve been to ever. I got to finally meet people that i know for many years now but never met before (you know wo you are), and the presentations were all very solid.
I originally posted this on the OSFlash mailinglist, but i thought it would make a good blog post, so here it is. My vision of a next generation web application framework.
I’m happy to finally be able to let the cat out of the bag. Darron Schall and myself have been working on a low level 6502/6510 emulator and, based on that, on a Commodore C64 emulator/simulator.
The emulator is completely written in Actionscript 3 and runs on Flash Player 9. It loads the original binary C64 Kernel ROMs at runtime, and executes them just like the original hardware would do.
Inspired by a user i wrote a proof of concept DENG proxy today, to be used in OpenLaszlo applications.
I just published a new DENG build, that fixes a bug that prevented text from showing up when multiple DENG components were used at the same time:

The Flash Player 8.5 features a nifty API to dynamically load assets at runtime, using the flash.display.Loader and flash.system.ApplicationDomain classes. Let’s assume we have a package, test.c1, that we want to keep in a separate SWF and only load it into the main SWF when needed.
