Looking for a PC App for C64 aid

Dear All,

b4 I knock up some quick job in VB to convert .prg files into .byte statements, I was wondering if there is anything already out there.

basically so I can import a .prg and end up with something like

org $c000
.byte $00,$02,$0a,$05
.byte $0a,$01,$09,$05

etc
etc

Regards
Paul.

Hi,

Are you sure you dont just want to import the file directly instead of first converting it to bytecode (I guess most assemblers are able to do this). In Kick Assembler you would do this like:

.import binary music.bin

If you want to edit some of the bytes, or throw some of them away before storing the in memory you can load it into an array first. Here is an example where you load it into an array, throw away the two adressing bytes and use the $1000 first bytes of the file.

.var myfile = LoadBinary("myfile.prg", BF_C64FILE)
myData: .fill $1000, myfile.get(i)

This will give the same result as storing the first $1000 bytes with .byte $23,$52,$c2,...... (Guess this is strictly Kick Assembler functionality)

Inside you will find a cx.exe (C source included) to generate byte listings from any binary. Anyway in my dasm mod I have implemented a more useful INCPRG directive to allow loading your binaries at any address.
