Rybags Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Cool. Just tried it on my MemoPad demo and it knocks it down from 15K to ~ 6K, and depacks real fast. Is there English doco available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hmm, I have waited for such a tool for some years now... alas, as of yet, I cannot get superpacker to work. My PC is an Intel machine with 2 Ghz and Win XP Home running on it. When I start the tool from Win XP everything seems to be fine, I load an Atari 8Bit DOS file and the program displays its segments. Then I choose a segment to pack with Exomizer or Deflater, but whenever I click onto "Pack Segment" a new window opens immediately and shows "Error file not found" (but the chosen segment shows a green arrow in front of it - still the segment is not packed)... I tried this with various *.XEX files now (some 320k, 576k and 1088k TIP animations, some tools and games) but I always get this error. When I try to click onto "Pack Segment" once more, I get "I/O Error 32". Tried Superpacker also with some programs from the MadTeam site, e.g. Audiomaster, but packing shows the same error as before... So, what am I doing wrong ?!? Does Superpacker not work from Win XP (do we have to use the commmand line instead or what) ?!? Or is the program limited to a certain range of Subdirs (I used C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Eigene Dateien\Atari\Downloads\Tipanm28\... thats 5 dirs/subdirs) ?!? When leaving the Superpacker I can see it has created a new subdir named "Temp" which contains some files like e.g. Exomizer.exe, Deflater.exe etc. - what files must be in this Temp directory ?!? Maybe there is missing a certain file there and thats why it displays the "Error file not found" message...?!? Last not least, I tried a) packing a *.XEX file in the same directory as Superpacker but failed and b) also tried packing a *.XEX file in a different directory than Superpacker but also failed... any help appreciated here... So yes, DOCs are really needed - maybe someone will write a short manual for me. Greetings and thanks - Andreas Koch. P.S.: Is Exomizer still limited to 64k files / programs ?!? Or do both the Exomizer and Deflater pack XRAM files now ?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebe Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 (but the chosen segment shows a green arrow in front of it - still the segment is not packed)... green arrow? you use old version, use new version 2.7 with checkboxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) I didn't know that exomiser worked with 64k files, only versions of exomiser i had heard of only worked with non bankswitched binary files Edited June 14, 2009 by carmel_andrews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well, downloaded the new version. Still does not work, here are the errors I got: - started sp.exe, loaded a DOS file, when I tried to pack a segment with Exomizer: Error - Exomizer.EXE not found; when I tried to pack a segment with Deflater: Error - Deflater.EXE not found... - so I copied the sp.exe into the temp directory of the OLD superpacker version (the one with the green arrow, see above), since this temp dir contains both Exomizer.exe and deflater.exe (and some more files). still no luck: loaded a dos file, tried packing it, got this: error - c:\...\...\...\seg0000.obx not found; de-actived some boxes, still this error (file *.obx not found) shows up... Oh well, looks like I cannot use this tool without a manual... I thought (and still think) Superpacker program contains both the deflater and exomizer or do I have to download and install them from another source first ?!? -Andreas Koch.

tebe Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 new version 2.8, deflater and exomizer is not included, you must select path for deflater.exe (or def7z.exe) and exomizer.exe (click Configure !) in attachments deflater.exe (recomended http://madteam.atari8.info/uzytki/def7z.7z), exomizer.exe (v2.0 beta) def_exo.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well, thanks to TeBe, here is version 3.0 of SuperPacker. I have also included Deflater.Exe, Exomizer.Exe and Mads.Exe, so you have the complete archive here... Last not least, I could solve my problems with SuperPacker: Looks like on my PC SuperPacker will only work from C:\ - whenever I try to put it into a subdir (e.g. C:\Programs\*.*), it does not work anymore... greetings, Andreas Koch.

tane Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 How can the opposite operation of "Append segments" can be done? (with any windows app). For example: a segment $5000-$BFFF, that must be split in 2: $5000-$6FFF and $7000-$BFFF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Afaik, not with Superpacker, but with several other tools. One of them is Ataricom by HiasSoft: https://www.horus.com/~hias/atari/#tools-win32 There were two similar tools here at AA forum, but I forgot their names... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tane Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I'd like to warn that with Exomizer (Super Packer 6.7), when depacking it overwrites previous 2 bytes: For example making a: jsr $7000 It will overwrite the following without a warning: $6ffe $6fff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Superpacker 6.8 is out now - maybe the bug is fixed there ?!? (Cannot test, since it does not seem to run under Win XP 32 Bit) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilheim Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thank you for the release! I have a question. For some reason, I can't compress properly with Exomizer for versions 6.1 to 6.8, so I'm forced to stick with the version 6.0. Does anyone know why this could be happening? Do I have to remove something to make the v6.8 work properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
