P00 to PRG?

Mayhem · Post by **Mayhem** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:57 am

I've got a bunch of program files in P00 format... now Vice will read them fine but I'd like to convert them into PRG if possible. Any easy way?

I think cbmconvert can handle them? The other option is to attach an empty D64 image to VICE, load a P00 file and within the emulator save it to the virtual floppy disk. From there you probably already know how to extract individual files, which will be in pure PRG format.

In VICE under Peripheral settings, you can sett it to read P00 files, but write .PRG files (Mark "Read" but unmark "Write"). You can also set this differently for different devices 8,9 etc...

I use Star Commander (the link doesn't work at the moment), you may send me the files, if you want.

I've used Star Commander for a long time... so what do I do with it to convert P00 to PRG?

I can try loading and saving in Vice, but it might not work with all the files I have...

really easy,
Open a P00 file like a D64 file and you see PRG files inside then move PRG files where you want.

I might need a newer version StarCom then... I tried doing that originally and it wasn't having anything of it to let me look inside... told me the file image was invalid. But the P00s load and run fine in Vice though. Anything to do with the fact these are Vic20 P00 files...?

I've got 64Copy and that seems to be doing the trick

Have to process them all properly now and see what new games lie within...

64Copy looks like StarCommander, it's really similar but lacks communication to the 1541/71/81 floppy drives, is a derived work ?

IIRC the P00 is nothing more then a PRG but with 26 extra bytes at the start with some info.

Oh indeed they should be, I just wanted a more simple way than actually going into a hex editor and striping them out by hand

If a P00 is a PRG with an extra 26 bytes at the start, It should be a simple task to write a program that remove those 26 bytes from all P00 files in a directory.

Curiously enough it may not have applied to these, I'm not sure. The guy who does DirMaster was a bit curious why the conversion to PRG didn't work when I was attempting it, and so requested some of the P00 I was using. I'll wait to see what he says on the matter.
