Download extra large C64 archives

This website hosts big collections of Commodore 64 games, demos, music and magazines for download. Every archive contains files that are directly usable on a C64, no need for futher file conversion or extraction. (C64 Emulator usage is also possible.)

Recommended to use with IDE64 cardridge, SD2IEC or other similar mass storage or PC-Link solution. You can extract these archvies on a bigger computer, and then copy to your hard disk with fusecfs (on Linux), or host it via PC-Link or copy to SD card for your SD2IEC drive.

Last update: 2nd of April, 2021: TDD mags, demos, party, HVSC

Formats

Multifile programs: Programs that are desinged run from a 1541 floppy drive are in D64 format. You can copy such files to floppy disks with IDE64 tools like ID64.
Singlefile programs: Programs that don't load any further files from the device 8, are converted to simple PRG that you can load and run directly.

Downloads

fusecfs: Uses comma as extension separator. May contain fusecfs supported Unicode characters in file names. Linux friendly file names (may not work on Windows). Use fusecfs to copy to your device. Contains max. 300 files per dir, easy to use in IDE64 FileManager. 16 characters filenames, plus custom extensions.
PC-Link or Emulator: Uses dot as extension separator. No unicode letters, uses Windows compatible file names. Use via PC-Link or on CD disks or in Emulators. Contains max. 300 files per dir, easy to use in IDE64 FileManager. 16 characters filenames, plus custom extensions.
sd2iec: Uses dot as extension separator, Windows compatible file names. Use on VFAT SD cards for sd2iec or in Emulators. Contains max. 100 files per dir, because this device is slower. Requires to turn on XE+ mode because PRG files are 16 character + extension, while custom extensions use 12 character filenames so all fit in 16: open15,9,15,"XE+":close15 or if you have a DOS Wedge: @XE+.

For organizations, such tools are invaluable for keeping track of hardware and software configurations across the network.

Don’t expect a dark mode makeover or ribbon menus. Dr. Hardware 24.4.0 retains its classic, tabbed, spreadsheet-like layout. For professional users who need to find the exact revision of a PCIe bus or the latency of their L2 cache, this is a blessing. Everything is text-based, clickable, and immediately copyable.

Notes

The Browse links point to the collection's original location thus they don't reflect contents of the archives here!

The collections have been created using the ai64 - batch file extractor (v1.4, files in 2021 are with v1.5). The conversion is an automatic process, but errors are still possible. Feel free to report errors and I'll try to invesitage them. The process is not designed to be error-free, it's designed to do most of the work.

Please contact me if you know a good download source of Commodore 64 programs that should be available here for download.
