Summary
Submitted by elkmoose on 17 September 2015
from the readme:

Bitfire is a fixed interleave loadersystem with depacker, a basic framework and an image writing tool. Aim was to make the loader as fast as possible while being as tiny as possible. So at some points size and speed had to be traded against each other. An own, however d64-compatible (bam copy is sufficient), file format is introduced to make the code less complex and loading faster. Also, functions that are not used regularly (like turn disk detection) are available as statically linkable functions and thus make the resident part on c64 side even smaller. Being that tiny ($7e to $1ef bytes, depending on configuration) and still fast, makes it perfect for being used in demos. The imaging-tool creates diskimages with all demofiles and a dirart on it. Also it is accompanied by a lz-packer based on doynamite, however smaller in code and a bit faster than that, while yielding nearly the same results. The framework supports a base irq and safe loading hooks, as well as a loadnext functionality, however loading by filenumber is still supported if your demo is in need of random file access (like the comaland endpart)
