3,400+ 8-bit Games - Preserved!

It started with improving the compatibility of floppy emulation of the famous Commodore 64 emulator Vice, to give it extended G64 support to load many images properly without any user interaction or patching of the data. From there we got more involved with the wonderful C64 community, especially Pete Rittwage's excellent C64 Preservation project, and together we've been working behind the scenes on something very special. Softpres. (more)

IPF Library Source Code Released

It's taken a long time, and we really appreciate your patience. We have finally released the IPF library source code, under the same terms as MAME (non-commercial use). Other licenses may follow. This code also includes a cycle exact, low level WD177x emulator that works at the signal (not command) level. (more)

Duplicator Info (DI)

With C64 support around the corner, people are actually wondering why titles should be redumped, with several other projects already dumping C64 disks. Commercial games were usually copied at replicators that used many automated machines for high volume output. Such machines were produced by several companies with Trace Products (today: Trace Digital) being the largest with an estimated 80% market share. (more)

Commodore 64 (C64) Preservation - we need your disks!

10 years ago, SPS (known as CAPS) started work on preserving Commodore Amiga disk images. Since then we've moved on to cover other less exotic disk platforms such as Atari ST, ZX Spectrum and more. Just as challenging as the Amiga, and just as close to our heart, and long overdue is the classic, Commodore 64. (more)

KryoFlux Write Support (now in final testing)

Broken original game? Used a virus scanner to replace the allegedly dangerous non-standard bootblock? Bought it from eBay just to find out it was "fixed" by copying a crack over it? Very exciting news! We are now in the final stages of testing the new write support in KryoFlux. Finally, we are able to restore our game disks and continue to play them on real machines after our originals have worn out. (more)

KryoFlux Track Data Visualisation

Over the last few months, aside from the work on writing support for KryoFlux, we have been working on providing more insight into disk data by means of data visualisation, since this is often helpful in identifying the cause of errors and provides useful information about the disk encoding. (more)

Making IPF Open......

We've always said we intended to make IPF an open format, and that we would do so when we felt that we, and the format, were ready. It's taken longer than we had hoped, as these things do, but we feel the time is now right. We now have to decide what license to use, and we thought it best to have an open discussion between us, and you guys from all viewpoints, to come up with something that we can hopefully all be happy with.
