CART_ID - Version 2.05
|
||
=======
|
||
Written by: Guido Sarducci - for the BizSNES Console Brotherhood
|
||

|
||
Machine requirements: IBM compatibles/XT-AT Class (384K required)

||
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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
COMMAND SUMMARY
|
||
===============
|
||
The following is a quick list of commands that can be used:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Keys Action
|
||
==== ======================================================
|
||
S Sort the file directory by name, size, extension or
|
||
time in either ascending or descending order.
|
||
ENTER Display information about the highlighted file.
|
||
C Automatically convert an image from one console format
|
||
(Super Magicom, Multi Game Doctor or binary are
|
||
presently the only supported formats) to another.
|
||
ESC Quit CART_ID and return to DOS.
