Tool To ID Catridge Information


dhe

Recommended Posts

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?

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

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.
