Título: DSK2ROM 0.70
Publicado por: mars2000you en 27 de Mayo de 2007, 11:06:47 pm
Since so much time, the dream of many MSX fans is to convert disks into cartridges, in other words DSK files into ROM files.

It's no more a dream, but a reality, at least for a big part of the DSK files. Vincent van Dam, author of CAStools, fMSX-SDL and surprizing demos, has created DSK2ROM, a double utility for MSX and PC.

(http://www.passionmsx.org/modules/mydownloads/images/shots/fdd1.png)

The PC version includes interesting features, especially to compress the data and to get a classical ROM size.

You can already appreciate an excellent result : a ROM version of the famous Fony Demo Disk 1 (with SCC musics) is available in the MSX Goodies of Passion MSX !!!

Yep. You've got 64 KB of avaiable RAM, therefore it is an option. But I'd go for "normal" MegaROMs.

Yes, but is the only option to use for example TCp/IP.

I'm afraid not: the lightest TCP/IP implementation for MSX requieres at least 128 KB of RAM. For MSXdev'07 the requirement is set on 64 KB. No way! But of course, leaving apart MSXdev contest, a TCP/IP megaROM would be a nice thing.
