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.
