CC2 driver for mac os ?

[RayXambeR]

I would like to know if a driver for Mac OS X exist for the Cuttle Cart 2 ?

It exists a great driver for the Cuttle Cart 3 for Intellivision but I haven't found similar thing for the CC2...

Thanks!

haven't found so far. I always boot in through BOOT CAMP and edit there.

Thank you for the answer

I wrote a utility that lets you drag and drop files into the window and it'll convert text files to CC2 and vice versa. But it's for Classic Mac OS 9. One of these days I'll port it to OS X.

Is that available somewhere?

Here it is. I just whipped up an icon for it.

 

The CC2 Menu Buddy will convert .CC2 files into .TXT and vice versa. You can select multiple files and drop 'em on the icon or launch the program and drop 'em in the window. Mix and match text and compiled files and the Menu Buddy will take care of the rest.

 

Some notes (copied and updated from original post):

 

-This app is "dumb". It assumes it is working with either a compiled .CC2 menu file or a plain text file so please don't feed it anything else. I'll be happy to polish it up if there's enough interest.

 

-Can handle multiple files via drag and drop only. If you use the 'Open' command you can only select one file. I can update the Open dialog to handle multiple selections but it's easier (IMO) to just drop a bunch of files on the icon or window.

 

-May or may not leak memory. This hasn't been extensively tested. Use at your own risk but know that the author has confidently used it on both of his production Macs without fear of lost data. If in doubt, work with copies of your files until you're confident it'll work with your set-up with no issues.

 

-Has been tested in Classic mode on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and works wonderfully. Put it in your dock!

 

Here's the original post for reference.

Any news about the Mac OS X version of your software? I haven't any mac under OS 9.

Thanks!

Does this run in Classic Mode on a Mac OSX before Snow Leopard?

@RayXambeR: I have not worked on CC2 Menu Buddy in years and honestly I don't know if I'll have a chance to work on an OS X version in the near future. The program is a simple text parser and if I have a free weekend I should be able to get something out there but I can't promise anything soon. In the meantime, I will gladly make the source code available to anybody who wants to take a crack at it.

 

@Baksama: Yes, CC2 Menu Buddy is an OS 9-native application that will run in Tiger and earlier versions of Mac OS X. I created it for personal use and decided to make it available for the nine people out there who have older Macs and a Cuttle Cart II.

What are you wanting to do? This program will not build menu file(s) for you, it more enables you to work on the menu files by hand. There is a program for Winblows program that looks through your roms and generates one big cc2 menu file using a now very old CC2ROMDB.TXT ( db of ROM MD5 (hash numbers for ID) and the CC2 settings). This was written before the CC2 update for sub-menus.

 

The CC2 menu files are fixed length text files without returns and so all the information is on one line but you can use a simple text editor to look at them.

 

Here is two examples (with added returns):
