I made a thing, it shows checksums when you input basic lines. It handles 10 different algorithms (only 6 in the video), and you can change it using a single peek (shown in the help, which you can also access with SYS 50000.

The supported modes are:

  1. F64Summer (2018, Felix Palmen)
  2. 64'er Checksummer V1/V2 (V1 October 1984, Frank Lonczewski)
  3. 64'er Checksummer V3
  4. COMPUTE! Automatic Proofreader V1 (1983/84), Charles Brannon
  5. COMPUTE! New Automatic Proofreader V2/V3 (1986/2026), Philip I. Nelson
  6. AHOY! Bug Repellent V2 (1984)
  7. AHOY! Bug Repellent V3 (1987)
  8. HCM (Home Computer Magazine) Bug-Out V5.5 (1985)
  9. RUN Checksum V2 (1988), Bob Kodadek

+ 0 which is just a tiny one I added as a default.

I put it on a .d64 here: tg-check.d64

Thankful for any bug reports etc.
