Today we will update the #Ultimate-II+ and #Ultimate64 firmware to 3.11 this has two awesome new features!
Download firmware github.com/GideonZ/ultimate_releases/raw/master/ultimate_3.11.zip
1) Assembly64 which allows you to query the assembly64 resources online and download games, sid tunes, demos...any #Commodore64 from the intenet and run it immediately. So no more FTP uploads or moving your stick around from one computer to the other!
2) Rest API that allows you to stream SID music from your computer or the usb stick to your #C64 so you'll have a true C64 jukebox and for me, you can actually start programs using the API call. So I can build my program in my Azure pipeline and instead of uploading it using FTP and then starting it manually, I can now immediately push the build PRG to the C64 and run it. This makes testing and deploying so much nicer!
Funny thing my Retro friend DrDave literally made a video on the same subject at the same time. Here is his version youtu.be/ERciqRLaB14?si=t-9SF4K_YuzZ0Jkl
