snapconv — Sinclair ZX Spectrum snapshot converter
snapconv [ -c ] [ -n ] [ -f ]
infile outfile
snapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.
- -c
- specifies that all data in the output snapshot should be
compressed, even if that compression will result in a bigger file than if
some data is left uncompressed. This helps compatibility with some buggy
programs that can only read entirely compressed .z80 files.
- -n
- specifies that the output snapshot should be
uncompressed.
- -f
- specifies that the A and F and A' and F' registers should
be swapped. Version 0.5.0 and older of libspectrum(3) had a bug
that resulted in these registers being swapped in SZX snapshots only.
Version 0.5.1 and newer of libspectrum(3) automatically recognise
these snapshots and correct the problem, but this flag is necessary to fix
some snapshots created by development versions only of
libspectrum(3) which had the bug fixed, but cannot be distinguished
from snapshots containing the bug.
-
-h, --help
- give brief usage help, listing available options.
-
-V, --version
- output version information.
- infile
- specifies the snapshot to be converted. This file can be in
any of the snapshot formats supported by libspectrum(3).
- outfile
- specifies the output snapshot. The format will be
determined by the file extension and can be in any of the formats
libspectrum(3) supports for output.
