Wonderful tool. Used it to flash some new games to my TheC64 Maxi. Thanks! :)

...aaand last but not least, if you import your original set's backup, due to not considering the other languages, the tool destroys all but the English one! (Solution: overlap the folders, instead of use the Import option!)

Ok, some updates about the usage of this tool, which don't fit into the 'Goofs' because I'm using it with a C64Mini only.

- common UTF-8 character encoding problems ahead! Use a fixing chart in order to replace accented letters and other special characters *by hand*, editing the .tsg files with a WordPad ot similar tools; this is true, e.g., even in the author's field, unregarding what the tool is showing to you!
- other language text, you have to add'em by hand, beware accented letters again;
- fields' lengths don't match the real thing, and you could find your data cut off once on it; in the case of long titles, what you see on the tool doesn't match reality, so be short
- if your TheC64 has been updated to update equal or higher to 1.3.1, "Nobby the Aardvark" has been replaced with a double file usage (.crt and .vsf), preserving the original .d64 file; the tool won't understand this once you wanna import your backup, and will stop your import operation! You must clean up data by hand into the .tsg file to restore the original single .d64 file in order to push it to work, but at that point you can't update again your TheC64 in order to improve "Nobby the Aardvark", because the system recognizes the same update and refuses to run it again!

Tested on a plain TheC64 Mini, it worked incredibly flawlessly under any aspect. The tool only misses the option to choose the language for the text, but I had a quick sneak into the files and it looks quite simple to add multiple translations manually.

@medicus : Is it a fist with four fingers? Or is it the letter "M" shaped as a fist? #MEGASTYLE

Keep in mind, This Tool is primary made for TheC64 Maxi, but it is tested and works fine on TheC64Mini aswell. If you do not know the internal differences between the Maxi and the Mini, this tool might not be for you, It is strongly recommended that you have root access (FEL or UART) to your TheC64, so you can correct any problems caused by the tool.
