LoadSeg / Relocate to fixed address?

[a4k-oerx]

Hello there,

how could I get a ready amiga-exe with one code-hunk relocated to a certain fixed address which I specify, not to run it there right away (would use a cruncher for that) but to grab the data and incbin it in a new amiga-exe which then later will copy it to the fixed address (together with other blocks of memory to other addresses) and run it at a later time. Goal is to create onefile-versions (with no return to AmigaOS).

Any suggestions?

There is executable relocator written in assembly in winuae's filesystem loader (filesys.asm)

(I guess there are better solutions but at least this is better than nothing..)

You could also use some relocator tool, does hunkwiz do this? I know the RSI cruncher "Double Action" has this feature, I've used it before (you can relocate an exe without crunching, don't worry)...

Thanks a lot for quick help.

HunkWiz looks promising, DoubleAction as well, and filesys.asm will help me understanding what's going on.

Does "reloc" from the WHDLoad package do the job for you?
I use it to generate binary images of exe files to put at specified address in the Minimig bootloader rom.

There would also be an old tool used back in the days to one part games which was called "relokit".

Thanks for suggestions, turns out that HunkWiz is what I need, got it from a Beermon V0.46c distribution.

DoubleAction works but later crashes in my A4000/040 setup in WinUAE, relokit crashes as well, already during its own unpacking, did no further testing. reloc from WHDLoad works but as far as I saw expects addr in decimal format (or did I miss something?), need hex format.

Reloc accepts hex values. You must prefix them with $.
