Hi, loooong time between replies, sorry, but I've only recently been able to get back onto my task of 'C64 disk extraction' - mostly due to trouble in tracking down an old 360K 5.25" drive - mostly!
FYI, I am creating G64 files with default settings, with index pulse etc. nothing non-standard.
When you say that C64 disk can't be converted currently, does this mean that the G64 format that the supercard writes out is for some other purpose? I've tried the 64copy app from :-
http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~schepers/download.html
which does all sorts of C64 disk conversions and when I try to convert a supercard G64 to a D64 it warns of 'errors in the data sector' (or something akin to that). I have tried another command line tool that is supposed to do the same conversion and, like 64copy, I get a D64 file with disk catalog but large files are corrupt. Some very small files (e.g. a simple 'Hello World' in BASIC) will load into an emulator.
The HxC floppy emulator reads .scp files but won't write anything back out that I can use!
I have made working copies of disks for use back on the C64 but that ultimately was not my aim. Is there anything that can be done or am I attempting something that simply cannot be done with the supercard's G64 output?
