Compare 2 .prg to find bug
I want to compare two uncompressed c64 .prg files (my prg vs the original prg) to find a difference.
Maybe someone has already written such a program and is willing to share ? |

For a simple byte compare, cdif can do it. Here: cbmtools 0.8 |

Ok, thanks.
I tried cdif -otest.txt my.prg s.prg
and it started comparing but it didn't wrote an output file. |

Just hexdump both .prg's and then diff the hexdumps. |

@Compyx: you make it sound so easy...
If i do chd my.prg, the dos box shows the dump but no file is written.
How can I see the result of the dump or the compare ? |

cdif my.prg s.prg > output.txt did the job.

If you are on windows - Totalcommander has a visual bindiff thingy :) |

For the linux console I found "vbindiff" among the best. |
