Overview

cartconv is a cartridge conversion utility, it can convert between binary and .crt images and it can 'insert' binary and/or .crt images into the EPROM type of cartridges. It is part of the VICE emulator.

-i input name: This parameter is mandatory, it should contain the name of the binary/.crt file you want to convert. For the EPROM type of cartridges this parameter can be used multiple times to insert images into the resulting file.

-o output name: This parameter is mandatory, it should contain the name of the binary/.crt file you want to convert the input file to.

-t carttype: This parameter is optional. It is only needed when converting to a .crt file. See below for the supported cartridge types.

-n cart name: This parameter is optional and is used as the cartridge name when creating a .crt file.

-l loadaddress: This parameter is optional and is used as the load-address when converting a .crt file to a .prg file, or when converting to a generic type .crt file.

-f input name: This parameter is optional, and is meant to output information about the named file. It can't be used in conjuction with any of the other parameters.

-r: This parameter is optional, it enables repair mode (accept broken input files)

-q: This parameter is optional, it disables all non-error messages
