+dhe Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Does a tool exist that will identify most of the information about a cartridge? What I'm looking for, is something like, Files: XYZ.GRAM XYZ1.GRAM XYZ2.GRAM ID XYZ.GRAM Format: GramKracker Contains 2 8K ROMS - Bank Switched @>8000 Contains 3 6K GROMS Grom4 - GPL, Grom5 - GPL, Grom6 - Basic Has Start up Routine. Adds the following calls to Basic. Does such a utility exist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humeur Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 There was a module like Gram Kracker, MAXIMUM which had its own numbering system who was next MAXIMEM numbering: number 1 RAM1 adress 6000 RAM 8K Emule Rom number 2 RAM2 adress 6000 RAM 8K number 3 GRAM adress 6000 GRAM 6K Emule Grom or 8k existe with extension hardware number 4 GRAM adress 8000 GRAM 6K or 8k existe with extension hardware number 5 GRAM adress A000 GRAM 6K or 8k existe with extension hardware number 6 GRAM adress C000 GRAM 6K or 8k existe with extension hardware number 7 GRAM adress E000 GRAM 6K or 8k existe with extension hardware During the dump the files created were numbered exemple: XXXX1234567 12 Rom 34567 Grom XXXX name of cartridge. Advantage of MAXIMEM it is a real copy it has no addition of data during the dump. I think every Gram Kracker has its own way of handling it Jean Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The software for the Wiesbaden Supermodul II parses out every single type of GRAM cartridge file that existed back then as part of its load routine (it will automatically recognize known types and load them without user intervention). It can also save them to any format it knows. Sven Dyroff published a copy of the parsing logic diagram about ten years ago (in German). I cleaned it up (the original was handwritten) but I have to verify that I still have the cleaned up version on hand as I lost some stuff that I didn't have backed up a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humeur Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thank you Jim I have everything on this module, on the other hand this one also adds to the file of the maximum control bytes it is the hard copy of the module. Jean Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
