The author of the Java frontend doesn't maintain it. Apparently it was just a programming exercise for him. I suggest to ask him if he would like to update it. The Java frontend was designed in such a way that it can be customised to a great extend (via the configuration file). Have you ever looked at the configuration file?
I could take over maintenance, but I decided to write a native Win32 and Linux frontend instead. Native (in this context) means that it runs directly under an OS and does not need an extra software layer (like Java). I use a GUI library (wxWidgets, formerly known as wxWindows -- thanks M$) that can be compiled for several OSes, so you needn't be afraid I write one for Linux first and then one for Windows.
BTW if you have good ideas for the new frontend I would like to hear them.
I'd rather not distribute too old versions of uCON64. One reason is that they contain bugs that have been solved in newer versions. In case you encounter a real bug with uCON64 you would have to upgrade anyway.
What exactly would you like to do that you cannot do with the current Java frontend?

It worked perfect for the last version of Ucon64 before I upgraded.
It will still load up but will not convert any thing It just resets.
It even said on the Web page it will not work with the latest version. Shocked

I have to go to a Dos-promt to use Ucon64 now.
It's pretty simple to convert But once you got used to the Frontend you got spoiled Crying or Very sad

I need an older version too. Since the DOS prompt is unavailable in WinXP, there needs to be a front end of some sort. Unfortunately, no one seems to have the older version of ucon64.

Dbjh, do you have mockups about the thinked interface? Could be nice for see it and opine about them Smile

Could be nice if seems as Norton Commander/DOpus4, dreamwriter has some interesting ideas too... Things that could be nice? Make it possible things as rename the name for multigame menu on tototek's carts... When you select a backup unit, personalize the interface for these backup unit...

First I want to finish the basic functionality. Then I can think of features to add. It doesn't make sense to show some pictures now, because the "design" isn't fixed yet. One thing is certain, it's not as general as the Java frontend.
