support MAC/65 detokenation
Hi,
There's no way to convert from ATASCII to ASCII, and no related programs linked to, to handle this task.
Could you explain a little more? I'm not clear on what you mean. An example and sample files would help me understand.
Hi,
I was using the Mac65 toolkit ATR, from http://pokeysoft.no/games/atari/a8util.htm - disk image U088a
OK, I see that disk image. What were you trying to do with it? If you're trying to extract the M65 files, they're tokenized in a special format, not in ATASCII.
It would be nice to support detokenization. I've got so many things on my list that it won't be high up there, but I don't want to forget about it. (Do you know python? If you can code something up or find an implementation in python, I'd be happy to include it.)
Hi, yes I know python, but I am working on some code for a 1050 at the moment, so can't help now. Not sure how many different tokenized forms there are, Mac65, Basic, ???
There's a MAC/65 Detokenizer in C here https://github.com/jhallen/atari-tools
Another detokenizer (again in C) is mentioned in this awesome but sadly hardly ever updated podcast

That's cool, I'll have to check out that podcast...

Oh.

No worries, I'll get to it someday. It's interesting and a pretty simple problem, just I don't want to divert my focus from Omnivore version 2 so I can get that out before the sun burns out. (As my focus has been diverted from the above mentioned podcast.)

At least those two I'd like to support. I wonder if Action is tokenized? Never used it, but I'm sure there'd be interest in that.
