Hello everyone!

Thanks to Bluearcus' contribution of the JVC disk image format, I got myself to rewrite some things here and there and now there's a robust system in place for adding any disk image format that may be needed.

So, now the program supports .VDK, .JVC, ImageDisk .IMD and raw .DSK files seamlessly!

The "New disk" dialog has been completely overhauled and now lets you select all disk configurations and the type of disk image format.

As you can imagine all the good stuff also applies to the command-line version of the tool :mrgreen:

You can find it here: https://github.com/robcfg/retrotools/re ... DOS_v1.0.5

As usual, please try it and report any problem or suggestion.

Cheers,
Rob

I've finally implemented a nice disassembler, because why not..., and would like to know if besides the UI, there would be interest in getting the disassembly through the command-line util too.

Something on the lines of:

Code: Select all

dragondos disassembly disk.vdk <file index> <processor type>
and getting the disassembly on the standard output for you to redirect it wherever you like.

Cheers,
Rob

While you think about my previous question, I've decided to make a new release with the disassembly view :mrgreen:

You can select 6809 or 6309 processors and you'll enjoy some nice highlighting.

Grab it while it's hot! https://github.com/robcfg/retrotools/re ... DOS_v1.0.6

Nice tool, and getting nicer all the time. With disk image tools and a disassembler in the same wrapping, how about also supporting disassembly/extraction/etc of boot sectors, or of any random sector? Or, maybe that finally is another tool...?

Well, the functionality is already there, so extracting and disassembling sectors should be fairly easy (famous last words... :mrgreen: ).

I can give it a try to check that it actually works and maybe think on the window design.

May I ask you for one image with a known boot sector so I can double check?
