The Star Commander is a user-friendly gift ware program with many configuration options, online help, fast execution and is very similar to The Norton Commander. (100111)

CBMXFER 0.25 beta * Steve Gray

CBMXfer is a GUI, or Front-End, to several command-line utilities. CBMXfer makes using those utilities easy by providing a familiar windows interface that removes the need to learn the commandline syntax of each program. These commandline utilities are:

  • CBM4WIN - transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected via an 'X-cable' on the parallel port.
  • CBMLINK - transfers files/images to/from a real CBM drive connected to a real CBM computer connected to the PC via a serial cable.
  • C1541 - a utility from VICE that works with CBM Image Files (ie: D64/D81 files).
OmniFlop 22d * Sherlock Consulting Limited OmniFlop is a ‘universal’ floppy disk reader, writer, and tester for the IBM PC or compatible which can handle alien floppy disk formats not normally supported by DOS, Windows and Linux. Supported formats include 1581.

Network/server/drive

Opencbm 0.4.2 *

Michael Klein
Spiro Trikaliotis
Wolfgang Moser

A kernel device driver for the serial CBM bus (C64, VIC-20, etc.) for Linux and Windows. opencbm is a re-join of the two projects cbm4linux (latest standalone version: 0.3.2) and cbm4win (latest standalone version: 0.1.0a). It should be noted that both projects were highly related from the beginning, as cbm4win 0.1.0 was based on cbm4linux 0.3.2.

Opencbm should work with any devices that understand the "normal" talk and listen commands of the CBM IEC bus. It has been tested with several 1541, 1541-II, 1571 and 1581 drives, and a MPS-1200 pritnter. 1541 clones like the Oceanic OC-118 have also been reported to work.

1541 EMU 020721 * Ville Muikkula With this software you can use your PC computer as a disk drive for those 8-bit Commodore home computers that are equipped with serial bus (this includes for example C-64, C-128, VIC-20, Plus/4 and C-16). Instead of recognizing just the stock serial bus protocol and some of the drive commands, 1541EMU completely emulates the internal hardware of the Commodore 1541 disk drive. This means that even fastloaders are supported. WAY kewl! (020721)
C64HDD 0.7a5 * Nicholas Coplin Use the PC as a diskdrive to the C64. Still has some way to go as the JiffyDOS speeder won't work etectera, but migt be the best pick of the category anyway!
64NET/2 beta * Paul Gardner-Stephen Second generation of 64Net - Newest version has RRnet support. (071207)
64Lan 0.965   Mathieu van Geffen C64 <-> PC file transfer "The best way to play and archive. All you C64 files". Uses it's own cable (950216)
Server64   Yvo Nelemans It can LOAD a file and directory. Also the SAVE part works again. Transparent support for .D64 and T64 files. (960301)
VC 1541 v0.04pl6 * Torsten Paul This program is intended to emulate the serial protocol that is used for the communication between a Commodore 64 computer and a VC 1541 Disk Drive. That means you can transfer data to and from the C64 without a special program on the C64.

Saving files is only partially supported (on .D64 images and the DOS file system) and may not work as expected in any case. Nothing of the hardware is emulated by this program. Because of this it's not possible to support any type of fastloader. Although direct disk access could be emulated, it is not implemented.(981026)

File convert - Multiple

64Copy 4.43 * Peter Schepers

A C64 archive file converter, modelled after Norton Commander 3.0, which handles all the common formats (T64, D64, X64, P/S/R/U00, LNX, Zipcode, Binary to name a few - noone support more of them nor does it better!) and converts between them.
There's more to it than that - disassembler, editors for text, hex and disk sectors. It's simply GREAT! (091210)

Star Utilities 0.83 * Joe Forster/STA These fast and user-friendly freeware utilities create, list and extract many Commodore archive formats. They are all external programs of The Star Commander. (100111)
Mole64 1.01 beta   Dale Robinson Mole 64 is a COMMODORE 64 file conversion Utility for use on a windows based PC. Currently it converts the following formats: D64 into RAW format (".prg", ".seq" etc) T64 into RAW format (".prg") But, hopefully it'll support the complete suit of file formats that exist currently.
CBM Convert 2.0.4   Marko Mäkelä

There are many archiving programs for the Commodore 64, all of which are incompatible with archiving programs on other systems. This cbmconvert utility tries to address this problem. It extracts files from most known file formats and writes them to several different formats, including some formats used by some Commodore 64 emulators. (980227)

Includes the program CBMConvert, Zip2Disk and Disk2Zip

TargetD64 0.33 * Karlheinz Langguth

TargetD64 picks the c64 files you fetched from the net and converts them to a D64, which is passed to the emulator. Supported archive formats are zip, gz, lha, lnx, [1-4]!, d64, t64, p00 and x64. If a file can not be matched to one of these formats it is treated as a raw C64 (PRG) file.
TargetD64 is a "Drag & Drop" capable command line tool. All mentioned archive formats are built in. Source code is available as well under the GPL terms.

ARKLNX * Peter Weighill ARKLNX is a DOS based program which can be used to create information about .ARK and .LNX files containing sidplayer .MUS music files and their associated .STR, .WDS & .PIC files.
FV CBM 3.0 * Daniel Fandrich Fvcbm ver. 3.0 displays Commodore 64/128 archive, self-dissolving archive and disk image directories. This can be especially useful in combination with a Commodore 64 emulator. Supported archive formats are ARC230 (ARC), self-extracting ARC230 (SDA), Lynx, CS-DOS (LZH), self-extracting CS-DOS (SFX), PC64 emulator files (R/S/U/P00), LBR, 64Net files (N64), emulator tape images (T64) and disk images (D64 and X64).
List64 0.67   Stefan Weber C64 file image viewer,lists the contents of D64,X64,T64,Lynx,Arkive,PC64,Net64,Lbr,Zipcode File/4/5. (970515)
CCU   Jason Ellingson The Commodore Conversion Utility is a simple to use program that converts between Zipcode and .d64 formats in a point and click environment. The zip file includes the full source code (in Delphi pascal) and a tutoral on how file conversion works.

File convert - Tape

Tape64_Win32 1.12   Andreas Matthies Tape64 (formerly called "Wav2Tap") helps you to reuse your old tapes recorded with the C2N (Datasette) of Commodore and full of programs for the C64. Sample the tape contents with any sample program, and then let Tape64 work on the samplefile. It can create TAP files (for CCS64) and also extract PRG files if the tape contained standard C64 loderfiles or TurboTape. More formats are to come!
Final TAP 2.76 (including a Windows front end) * SJ Wilson The majority of software for the Commodore 64 was originally released on cassette tape and the TAP file format together with certain tools available elsewhere has allowed enthusiasts to make copies of their original tapes in a digitally encoded analogue form, the one slight drawback with the format however is that the analogues tapes when converted to digital form tend to be rather noisy and can contain many flaws, this can be due to age, stretching etc. and there are always small deviations from the 'ideal' pulsewidths that tapes can contain, even though most software loader programs only require 2 or 3 pulse 'types', I have found unprocessed tapes with over 250 variations.

This tool will attempt to discover the loaders/formats being used on a tape and if succesful can purify to the optimum values the signal on all files on the tape where a known format is being used.

WAV-PRG 3.3 * Fabrizio Gennari WAV-PRG is a program which can transfer files from C64 tapes to PC, and from PC to a C64 tape. You just need a simple audio cable (no complicated cables to build) and a tape player-recorder. It features plug-ins for different loaders - check the page for the ones available as well as tutorials for writing your own ones. (010428)
AudioTap 1.3 * Fabrizio Gennari Audiotap is a program for conversion between .TAP files and Commodore 64 tapes. Audiotap can read/write WAV files containing the sampled sound of a tape, and can also record tapes from the sound card and play sound to the sound card.
TurboTapeLoader 1.3   Sami Silaste Turbo Tape Loader is an MS-DOS (with support for long filenames) utility that allows you to extract files saved with Commodore 64 Turbo Tape (alias Turbo 250, Mr Z Turbo, Turbo 50000). Turbo Tape Loader works without any cables, you just sample you tapes with your sound card and TTL can extract the files from the resulting .WAV files.
cbmtt 1.01 * Richard Storer This MS-DOS program converts Commodore tapes to PC and back.
ptap 0.36 * Markus Brenner MS-DOS tool for playing back TAP files to real tapes for use with an actual Commodore 64 machine. Requires the C64S tape adapter. *NEW* Supports TAPSERV and also works for C16/Plus4 TAPs now (no halfwaves yet). (020215)
mtap 0.36 * Markus Brenner MS-DOS tool for creating real tape files (.TAP files) from original C64, VIC-20 and C16 tapes using the Commodore Datasette. Requires you to either connect your C64 with Datassette to the PC using an X(E)1541 cable or directly connect the Datassette to the C64S tape interface. *NEW* You can also use a C16/C116/Plus4-style 1531 (black) datassette using the x1531 tape connector. (010923)
64Utils 0.03b   Tomaz Kac TAP <-> VOC Converters & Play TAP v0.03b by Tomaz Kac. Converts CCS64 .TAP tape image files to and from .VOC format. (980726)
Wireless * <Unknown> Wireless Copy transfers 1541 disks between a C64/C128 and a PC running Windows 95 or 98. The medium is not a cable, but a datassette tape. No cables between the C64 and the PC are required, just a sound card on the PC. Wireless Copy comes with full source code in Turbo Pascal 7.0.
ttape 010 * Andreas Jung Turbo Tape for C64, plus/4 or C16 (presumably for PAL models) and for PC compatibles running MS-DOS, with the datassette connected to the parallel port.
