Dragon Game and Utilites Menu for Xroar, DragonMMC and CoCoSDC

The zip files contain the image files and the menu VDK - D32MENU.VDK for games and UTILMENU.VDK for utilites. There are 421 games and 97 utilites from the archive. The image contain the BASIC file used to make the database so that it could be edited, though changing the number of files involves chan...

Re: Dragon to CoCo

Tried it on my Ubuntu system under Wine and it works.
I think everything is all in place now for me to develop my project.
If successful I'll be back to release the results.
Thanks for all the help.

Re: Dragon to CoCo

Getting closer - thanks Azerpy. I have created a text.asc file. Run XRoar, loaded DragonDOS, inserted a VDK file, loaded text.asc, CLOAD and there it is and can be saved to the VDK file. I have not tested the MMC .DGN & .CCO idea yet since it would be simplest to do the work in XRoar then copy the d...

Re: Dragon to CoCo

Sorry, I can't follow this. I have used DragonMMC's RETOKC command to generate a CoCo BAS file on the Dragon VDK disc, copied that to Windows PC, Load it into XRoar emulating Dragon32 + Dragon DOS. That can load the CoCo BASIC file which will LIST but is 'rubbish' due to the retokening. What next? N...

Dragon to CoCo

I have a DragonMMC SD card system which has a Dragon BASIC to CoCo conversion utility.
So you finish with a Coco BASIC file on a Dragon VDK disk.
How would you get it onto a CoCo DSK disc?
Thanks,
Ray

Re: Burning Dragon disks - Omniflop?

I have used Omniflop to burn Dragon disks. I have used a Hex editor to delete the header from VDK files then saved as .img file. I have a 5.25" 40/80 track switched drive on the Dragon set to 40T - so it double steps. I format the disk on the Dragon. In Omniflop I select RadioShack CoCo NitrOS9 40xD...

Re: Floppy drive for VCOPY

Using a Hex editor on the VDK file, a compatible RadioShack format in Omniflop and a 1.2Mb 5.25" floppy drive in my Windows XP system I have burnt a disc OK.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Floppy drive for VCOPY

With Windows' file explorer you can't do anything as the system doesn't recognize the DragonDOS disk format. The problem with omniflop could be that you don't have installed Simon Owen's fdrawcmd driver , which is needed for Omniflop to work. If you have fdrawcmd installed, I recommend you to use t...

Re: Floppy drive for VCOPY

Hi Ray, It's been a loooong time since I've done anything like that but I do remember swapping drives between Dragon and PC fairly freely. Probably not much help but I think PC drives were generally set as drive 1 (instead of drive 0) to work as expected on the cable that had a twist between the tw...
