How can you link from 0000-ffff? Where does the packer reside?

As I found out, Beastlinker does NOT do this job. I tried packing files from 0800-ffff and it locked up.

I don't want to freeze-release this thing, but I may have to.

I use exomizer myself: http://web.comhem.se/~u13114991/exo/

Havent tried packing stuff above cfff yet, but it seems reliable enough to be able to handle that (and its a damned good packer)

Should work fine, I've used it plenty of times on releases in the past.

I tried the c64 packer Moloch suggested but after asking for the first filename, it immediately asks for the second file. It doesn't even try to load the first, and upon entering the second filename, gives a disk error.

I'll try Exomizer (cool, it works on the PC) and see if it meets my needs.

The Sledgehammer I tried only packs single files.

I'll figure it out, somehow... :)

Huh? It can pack multiple files as well as single.

Try this version:
Sledgehammer V2.1+

You could try ECA Compactor/Linker V5. It is very old, but handy for linking files. But has occasional bugs in the packer itself.

ECA works great for 2 of the 3 files. One file is $a000-$cfff and the other is $d000-ffff. It always crashes on the third file, no matter which order I place them. I'll try that version.

This is proving to be a real pain in the ass. :)
