z81-file to text-file

Post by MOB-i-L »

Is it possible to convert a BASIC-program in a z81-file (snapshot) generated by the EightyOne-emulator into a text-file (e.g. ASCII or UTF8) and back again.

There is not much documentation on EightyOne and its file-formats in the binary distribution.

How do I convert a z81-file from EightyOne-emulator into a p-file? Can EightyOne somehow export to p-files? I know EightyOne can open p-files.

Hi Mikael,

EO can't easily convert a P file in a text file...
It's an emulator!!!

EightyOne can't save to p-files, but it can save to tzx- or z81-files. Since there is a utility for Amiga OS (!) to convert p-files to txt-files it would be useful to be able to convert the tzx- or z81-files into p-files. Is it possible to do this? Otherwise I have to use an emulator that can save to p-files.

hi!

eightyone can save p-files as well:

create a new tape in the tape manager / then (in the emulator) SAVE "NAME" / press the disk-button in the tape-manager / change TZX-File (datatype) to P File ... you can also save as O an T81

:-)

eyerything will be okay in the end.

Hi,

EO can !!! It's true.
But, only if there's one program in the "tape controler" window.
In other case, it save the list as TAP or TZX format.
