ROM burners; what's your goto software for byte swapping?
If I have a .ROM file that I want to burn for use in my Amiga and I load it in the XGpro software that came with my TL866II burner, it will not work because the ROM file needs to be byte swapped before it is ready to burn as some .BIN files already are. I have swapped and burned successfully, I am trying to find better software to do it with in future.
I have had a lot of trouble finding software to do this. XGpro does not do it. I have found a link to download one package people used to recommend that leads only to some crappy download.com site with no download at the end of it, another package that does do a byte swap but is clearly Windows XP vintage and shows all sorts of errors in current windows. What are you using? |

Hi Aeberbach, et al.

http://www.hexworkshop.com/ It has all manner of shift/rotate operations on the data. Doesn't matter if you are dealing with a 16bit or 32bit Amiga, you can get the data the way you want. Regards, Red |

There's more than one way to skin a cat...
in linux: Code:
dd if=sourcefile of=resultfile conv=swab using srec_cat here http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ e.g. Code:
byte swap 16-bit words: srec_cat infile -byte-swap 2 -o outfile byte swap 32-bit words: srec_cat infile -byte-swap 4 -o outfile binary instead of hex: srec_cat infile -binary -byte-swap 2 -o outfile -binary Kickconv from Keir's git https://github.com/keirf/Amiga-Stuff In WinUAE/Remus: select in drop-down image type: Code:
Byte swapped (Little endian) Code:
SplitROMImage <your_512kb_rom_name> SWAP Code:
C:\> copy kick314_a1200.rom.hi /B + kick314_a1200.rom.hi /B kick314_a1200_512.rom.hi /B C:\> copy kick314_a1200.rom.lo /B + kick314_a1200.rom.lo /B kick314_a1200_512.rom.lo /B https://amitools.readthedocs.io/en/l...s/romtool.html |

I use WinHex: http://www.winhex.com/winhex/
I think you need to pay a (small) licence fee to get byte swapping but it's a great hex editor beyond just creating ROM files. |

I normally use the swap byte function in my prommer software.
