Summary
Submitted by enthusi on 6 May 2012
Create your own tape loader for your game (up to 44 KB/173 Blocks) including loading tune, loading pic and scrolltext + charset.
Usage:
python tapgen_01.py -k picture.koa -g game.prg -t scrolltext.txt -s tune.sid -o tapegame.tap
use -h for help!
Should run right away for linux, windows, mac (python 2.8).
Game file up to 173 Blocks (must be exomized, start at $080d/2061)
SID file must be PSID file (incl. header) as you'd get it right from HVSC. Init/Play must be $1000/$1003 and size < $1000 Bytes. Not ALL will work but pretty much most should.
Loading picture in Koala format (10003 Bytes, bitmap-colmap-attrib-bg_color).
You can use pictures from Vice Snapshot Grabber 4.2 and from MultiColor V0.2.1 for example.
Scrolltext must be in a separate file containing the following ASCII chars:
@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz[~]^< !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?
You NEED a more or less recent version of exomizer which will be called from within TAPgen like this:
exomizer sfx sys n2cload.bin -o n2cload.exo -q
(expected SYS is 2061/$80d, very OLD exomizers (v1.x) use 2059/$80b and will fail)
I recommend to use TAP Writer V0.2 > 512 KB to master any TAP to a real cassette in case you own a 1541ultimate.
That's pretty much it ;-)
Enjoy and report if things fail though they shouldnt...
Please credit any usage of this loader & enjoy :)
Cheers,
