How do I make disk image for VICE from files on hard drive?

Post by RJBowman »

The files are in a folder on my desktop.
They are the Vidi Vici Vic demo.
1 .PRG file, and 8 other files without extentions.

Get a program such as DirMaster, create a D64 file and import/drag the files you want in the disk image.

VICE comes with a c1541 utility, such that from a command-line:

Code: Select all

$ c1541
c1541 #8> help
c1541 #8> format "your disk,01" d64 vic20.d64
c1541 #8> attach vic20.d64
c1541 #8> write yourfile.prg yourfile
c1541 #8> dir
Writing file `YOURFILE.PRG' as `YOURFILE' to unit 8.
0 "your disk       " 01 2a
11    "yourfile"          prg 
653 blocks free.
c1541 #8> quit
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

You can also create a D64 file from VICE (file > attach disk image > drive 8 > (input file name) > press 'create image'), then SAVE "PRG",8 directly from within the emulator :) .

Those methods work too, though given he said disk (singular) and programs (plural), I thought DirMaster would be the best option to put them all in one image.
