INTRODUCTION
|
|||
|
|
============
|
|||
|
|
With the popularity of the consoles for various game machines, it has
|
|||
|
|
become increasingly difficult to determine which cartridge images came
|
|||
|
|
from which machine. There are two good utilities presently available
|
|||
|
|
to identify the images, but both are command line driven (you have to
|
|||
|
|
type each of the image file names after the program name to see what
|
|||
|
|
they are).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you store most/all of your images on your hard drive (and quite
|
|||
|
|
possibly in separate directories) and send them to your console, it is
|
|||
|
|
very easy to spend a great deal of time trying to identifying each
|
|||
|
|
image. CART_ID allows you to identify several files during one
|
|||
|
|
session.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*NOTE: This version of CART_ID only supports the Super Magicom and the
|
|||
|
|
Game Doctor family of cartridge images.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
GETTING STARTED
|
|||
|
|
===============
|
|||
|
|
To use CART_ID, simply type CART_ID at the DOS prompt and you will be
|
|||
|
|
presented with a list of all the files that are present in that
|
|||
|
|
directory. CART_ID will automatically detect whether a color or a
|
|||
|
|
monochrome video card is present in your machine and it will
|
|||
|
|
automatically switch into the appropriate mode.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
DIRECTORY SORT
|
|||
|
|
==============
|
|||
|
|
If you wish to change the way in which the files are displayed, you can
|
|||
|
|
press the "S" key and you will be allowed to choose how you wish to
|
|||
|
|
have the files in the file directory displayed. You can sort the files
|
|||
|
|
by file name, file extension, modification date or file size.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IMAGE CONVERSION
|
|||
|
|
================
|
|||
|
|
With the number of consoles available, there are no standards as how
|
|||
|
|
the image needs to be stored on diskette. CART_ID can to convert
|
|||
|
|
images from one format to the other. If you have an image that you
|
|||
|
|
wish to convert, simply highlight the file name and press the "C" key.
|
|||
|
|
CART_ID will determine the existing format and will automatically
|
|||
|
|
choose the alternate format to convert the file to.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The converted file will be given the same name as the original file but
|
|||
|
|
the extension will be changed to reflect the difference. (e.g. You want
|
|||
|
|
to convert an image called BIG_GAME.SMC from the Super Magicom to the
|
|||
|
|
Multi Game Doctor format; after the file has been converted, your Multi
|
|||
|
|
Game Doctor file will have the name of BIG_GAME.MGD).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IDENTIFY
|
|||
|
|
========
|
|||
|
|
To identify a file, simply highlight the file name and press the ENTER
|
|||
|
|
key. You will be shown the information particular to that file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
