Re: Convert from .bin to .rom Message #2 Posted by hugh on 5 Nov 2003, 6:18 a.m., in response to message #1 by Poul Kaarup not sure what the .rom format is. the v41 emulator comes with a conversion utiility thats handles formats; lif, p41, raw, dat, bin and txt.

Re: Convert from .bin to .rom Message #3 Posted by Poul on 5 Nov 2003, 2:50 p.m., in response to message #2 by hugh The ROM images that come with the V41 are in an uncompressed format like CCD1B.ROM (the CCD module). The ROM images used with Emu41 are in a compressed format like GAMES.BIN (the Games Pac). I know how to convert from .ROM to .BIN but not the other way around. The utility you mention is for converting USER code programs, and can't (as far as I know) convert a whole image. /Poul Kaarup

Re: Convert from .bin to .rom Message #4 Posted by J-F Garnier on 5 Nov 2003, 3:49 p.m., in response to message #3 by Poul Bin format packs 4 words into 5 bytes (makes 40 bits): byte 0 word0[7-0] 1 word0[9-8] + word1[5-0]<<2 2 word1[9-6] + word2[3-0]<<4 3 word3[9-4] + word4[1-0]<<6 4 word4[9-2] and so on... In the future releases of Emu41, I will support .rom format as well. J-F
