Castool - *A generic casette image manipulation tool for MAME* ============================================================== Castool is a tool for the maintenance and manipulation of cassette images that MAME users need to deal with. MAME directly supports .WAV audio formatted images, but many of the existing images out there may come in forms such as .TAP for Commodore 64 tapes, .CAS for Tandy Color Computer tapes, and so forth. Castool will convert these other formats to .WAV for use in MAME. Castool is part of the MAME project. It shares large portions of code with MAME, and its existence would not be if it were not for MAME. As such, the distribution terms are the same as MAME. Please read the MAME license thoroughly. Using Castool ============= Castool is a command line program that contains a simple set of instructions. Commands are invoked in a manner along the lines of this: **castool convert ** * **** is the format of the image * **** is the filename of the image you're converting from * **** is the filename of the output WAV file Example usage: castool convert coco zaxxon.cas zaxxon.wav castool convert cbm arkanoid.tap arkanoid.wav castool convert ddp mybasicprogram.ddp mybasicprogram.wav Castool Formats =============== These are the formats supported by Castool for conversion to .WAV files. **A26** Atari 2600 SuperCharger image File extension: a26 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt **BBC** Acorn BBC & Electron File extensions: csw, uef **CBM** Commodore 8-bit series File extensions: tap **CDT** Amstrad CPC File extensions: cdt **CGENIE** EACA Colour Genie File extensions: cas **COCO** Tandy Radio Shack Color Computer File extensions: cas **CSW** Compressed Square Wave File extensions: csw **DDP** Coleco ADAM File extensions: ddp **FM7** Fujitsu FM-7 File extensions: t77 **FMSX** MSX File extensions: tap, cas **GTP** Elektronika inzenjering Galaksija File extensions: gtp **HECTOR** Micronique Hector & Interact Family Computer File extensions: k7, cin, for **JUPITER** Jupiter Cantab Jupiter Ace File extensions: tap **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt kc85 - VEB Mikroelektronik KC 85 kcc,kcb tap,853,854,855,tp2,kcm sss **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt kim1 - MOS KIM-1 kim,kim1 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt lviv - PK-01 Lviv lvt,lvr,lv0,lv1,lv2,lv3 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt mo5 - Thomson MO-series k5,k7 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt mz - Sharp MZ-700 m12,mzf,mzt **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt orao - PEL Varazdin Orao tap **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt oric - Tangerine Oric tap **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt pc6001 - NEC PC-6001 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt phc25 - Sanyo PHC-25 phc **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt pmd85 - Tesla PMD-85 pmd,tap,ptp **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt primo - Microkey Primo ptp **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rku - UT-88 rku **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rk8 - Mikro-80 rk8 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rks - Specialist rks **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rko - Orion rko **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rkr - Radio-86RK rk,rkr gam,g16,pki **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rka - Zavod BRA Apogee BK-01 rka **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rkm - Mikrosha rkm **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt rkp - SAM SKB VM Partner-01.01 rkp **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt sc3000 - Sega SC-3000 bit **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt sol20 - PTC SOL-20 svt **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt sorcerer - Exidy Sorcerer tape **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt sordm5 - Sord M5 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt spc1000 - Samsung SPC-1000 tap cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt svi - Spectravideo SVI-318 & SVI-328 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt to7 - Thomson TO-series k7 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt trs80l2 - TRS-80 Level 2 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt tvc64 - Videoton TVC 64 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt tzx - Sinclair ZX Spectrum tzx tap,blk **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt uef - Acorn Electron uef **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt vg5k - Philips VG 5000 k7 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt vtech1 - Video Technology Laser 110-310 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt vtech2 - Video Technology Laser 350-700 cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt x07 - Canon X-07 k7,lst,cas **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt x1 - Sharp X1 tap **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt zx80_o - Sinclair ZX80 o,80 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt zx81_p - Sinclair ZX81 p,81 **APF** APF Imagination Machine File extensions: cas, cpf, apt
