How to use Draw PETSCII Table
- 1. Open the tool. Open the page and the full PETSCII reference table prints immediately, since it needs no input to generate.
- 2. Read the reference table. The table lists every code from 0 to 255 with its decimal value, hex value and the character or graphics symbol Commodore's PETSCII set assigns to it, including shifted and unshifted variants.
- 3. Copy the table. Copy the reference chart for use whenever you need to check what a PETSCII byte displays as.
When to use Draw PETSCII Table
Draw PETSCII Table prints the complete character set used by Commodore 64, VIC-20 and other Commodore 8-bit machines, listing every code from 0 to 255 with its decimal, hex and displayed symbol. PETSCII reorders letters and adds Commodore's distinctive graphics characters, so a full reference beats piecing it together from memory.
- Cross referencing bytes while decoding old data. You're using the Convert PETSCII to ASCII tool on a Commodore file and want to double check a specific code before trusting the automatic conversion. The full table lets you verify individual bytes by hand.
- Writing a Commodore 64 demo or game. You're programming directly on or for a C64 and need to know which PETSCII code produces a specific graphics character for a title screen. The table gives you the exact byte to poke into screen memory.
- Documenting a retro computing archive. A digital archive of Commodore software wants accurate documentation of the PETSCII character set alongside preserved disk images. Generating the table provides a citable, complete reference.
- Comparing Commodore graphics to Unicode symbols. You're mapping PETSCII's card suit and line drawing symbols to modern Unicode equivalents for a web based emulator. The reference table shows exactly which codes carry those graphics characters.
