What's new

C6426 is a packer plugin for Total Commander that opens Commodore 64 disk and tape images as ordinary archives. Enter an image with Enter or Ctrl+PgDn, copy files out (F5) and view them (F3). The plugin is read only.

Features

1541, 1571 and 1581 disks (.D64 also with 40 and 42 tracks and error bytes, .D71, .D81) and 8050/8250 drives (.D80, .D82).
Raw GCR images .G64: sectors are decoded straight from the bit stream.
.T64 tapes: files are extracted as .PRG with the load address.
Bonus: Amstrad CPC .DSK disks (DSK and EDSK, AMSDOS and CP/M directory).
The format is recognised by content and size, not by extension, so hobbit-disk.side-1.d64 works too.
The file type is shown as the extension (GAME.PRG, DATA.SEQ), PETSCII names are converted to safe Windows names and duplicates get ~2, ~3 …
Unclosed (“splat”) files are marked -open in the type column.
Written in C# and compiled with NativeAOT, so no installed .NET is needed. 32-bit and 64-bit builds.
