Short: c64 .PRG/.P00 file to t64 converter (for frodo) Author: Tuomas Aho Uploader: Tuomas Aho Type: misc/emu Version: 1.3 Replaces: xt64-110.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos What is it? ----------- xt64 is a fast .prg/p00 to .t64 converter. General: -------- The reason why i made this program is C64 emulator called Frodo. It's the best c64 emulator for Amiga, but it does not load prg/p00 at all. I wonder how i can play those classic games which are in .prg format. Answer is here: XT64. It simply converts program (prg) file to T64 format. (i don't really know, is that the "real" t64 format, but it works in frodo and that's enough for me :) Also i needed empty disk file for my own basic projects.. So xt64 can also create empty diskfile (d64). Have a Fun with c64 classics !! Usage: ------ TO convert PRG or P00 file to T64 - Just type in Shell: xt64 "[.prg/.p00 file]" --> xt64 writes another file in same location called ".T64" (Example: "xt64 t:demo.prg" - result will be "T:demo.t64" - Converted file MUST contain extension ".prg" OR ".p00". If there is no extension, xt64 do nothing. TO Restore T64 file to PRG file - Just type in Shell: "xt64 [.t64 file] RPRG" --> xt64 writes another file called ".PRG" TO Restore .T64 file to .P00 file - Type in shell: "xt64 [filename] RP00" --> xt64 writes file called ".P00" TO Create EMPTY .D64 diskfile - Type in Shell: "xt64 [filename] DFORMAT" --> xt64 write new file called . (empty d64 file) NOTE: Yes, Frodo can SAVE data to disk if you toggle the processor-level 1541 emulation on by pressing once "/"-key. It's slow, i know, but you can save even your own basic programs! :) **** NOTE: Version 1.3 Calculates "Blocks" In to the T64 Files. If V1.1 Does not create working T64 files, i think this version will make them work. But there is still some files which does not with v1.3. SO i recommeded to keep and use both versions of xt64 (depending of .prg file) If someone wants, i can add "USE201" command to next version. This will override "blockcalculate system" and uses always 201 blocks (max). Changes: -------- Since v1.2: - Calculates BLOCKS in to the T64 file. Since v1.1: - Added DFORMAT option. xt64 can now create EMPTY .d64 file. - fixed RP00 Option to work! Since v1.0: - Added support for P00 files. Now it's possible to convert P00 files to T64. - Autodetects filetype by using file extension. - Now writes filename inside the tapefile. - Added support for restoring T64 to PRG file.(requested by few people, thanks!) Author: ------- Please note that If you lost your files or xt64 causes any damage to your hd or Amiga, it's your own fault :) (c) 10.10.2005 Tuomas Aho (tuomas.m.aho@kolumbus.fi).
