WIZARD.NC8 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks, Mr Robot! The thing is, I need rom file, car file won't be accepted by the flashing tool (workbook) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Here you go Turbo BASIC XL, v1.5 (1985)(Happy Computer) [64K].bin Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker [64K].bin Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, v1.5 [64K].bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 For future reference, a CAR file is the ROM's binary image with a 16 byte header at the front which simply needs stripping off, e.g. with a command line tool, hex edit etc. Within Altirra you can also use the menu "File / Save Firmware / Save Cartridge..." menu with the CAR loaded and in the resulting dialog changes the "Save as Type" to "Raw cartridge image (*.bin)". That file can then be flashed via the Maxflash Cartridge Studio's flashing tool, e.g. either using "Tools / Convert BIN to ATR programming image" or direct using the USB cartridge via one of the "Cartridge / Program" options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZARD.NC8 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks again, Mr Robot! Trying to import the files to the Atarimax Workbook, the flash tool shows following error messages: [User Interface] Error loading file "Turbo BASIC XL, v1.5 (1985)(Happy Computer) [64K].bin" for slot #1, Unable to identify file: Turbo BASIC XL, v1.5 (1985)(Happy Computer) [64K].bin Not a known or supported image.

WIZARD.NC8 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Thank you, Wrathchild! Will try the Altirra method Edit: stripping off the header within Altirra worked fine to get the bin file, which still brings up the same error message as above when trying to import the file to the workbook Edited June 24, 2019 by WIZARD.NC8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Because that's exactly what I did (just not in Altirra)! Maybe this will help Name: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker [64K].bin File: 512K Cart Type: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, MegaCart 512KB Cartridge CRC32: File: a8d93af0 / Data: a8d93af0 Name: Turbo BASIC XL, v1.5 (1985)(Happy Computer) [64K].bin File: 64K Cart Type: Turbo BASIC XL, XEGS 64KB Switchable Cartridge CRC32: File: 7e8f3337 / Data: 7e8f3337 Name: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, v1.5 [64K].bin File: 256K Cart Type: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, SIC! 256KB Cartridge CRC32: File: 6b2d1ea4 / Data: 6b2d1ea4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it ? maybe because it's too hot today ? Edit: no matter what I try, the flash tool won't let me import any of the bin files to the workbook Edited June 24, 2019 by WIZARD.NC8 desperation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 You don't import them into a workbook as they are cartridge images for the full cartridge, so you'd use one of the menu options I've suggested instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried all menu options, no success. I don't know, what I'm doing wrong here Just to be sure, I'm talking about the Maxflash Cartridge Studio as flash tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I haven't looked into this really, if it's a straight bin there shouldn't be a problem, more unlikely is if it has the banking layout changed for each type listed you would have to convert the banking scheme to do it.

WIZARD.NC8 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Instead of importing the bin files I tried: Menu > Tools > Convert Bin to ATR Programming Image > Maxflash 8mbit Flash Cartridge ...still won't work, because full 8 Mbit bin file expected. If anyone has an ATR Programming Image of this one (for the Atarimax 8 Mbit cartridge): Name: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, v1.5 [64K].bin File: 256K Cart Type: Turbo BASIC XL+Compiler+Runtime+Linker, SIC! 256KB Cartridge CRC32: File: 6b2d1ea4 / Data: 6b2d1ea4 ...or of any of the other two versions, I would be very glad to get if, if possible I still don't know, why the bin files won't be accepted by the Maxflash Cartridge Studio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 As those images are for a different bank switching model they won't work. If a 128KB (1Mbit) AtariMax cart image could be produced then often repeating that 8 times to make an 1024KB (8Mbit) image will work.

Other cartridges than an Atarimax is no option - if it won't work on an Atarimax cartridge, ok, then I have to accept it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been several years, but I couldn't get it to work.
