===ZX Spectrum releases=== | |||
If the ZX Spectrum release is from a tape, it [https://timwolverson.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/how-to-convert-zx-spectrum-programs-from-cassette-tape-to-tzx-files/ should be saved first from the original cassette into a tzx file]. Make sure you save the complete disk, not just a single program from it. Once the tape is saved, [https://github.com/shred/tzxtools install tzxtools] you will need to extract three files: | |||
* The title screen image, which should be renamed as "darkside.zx.title" and has exactly 6912 bytes. | |||
* The game data, which should be renamed as "darkside.zx.data" and is around 34 kbytes. | |||
* The border image, which should be renamed as "darkside.zx.border" and has exactly 6912 bytes. | |||
For instance, for the original Incentive release (1988), you can inspect their files using the <code>tzxls</code> command: | |||
<code> $ tzxls darkside.tzx | |||
... | |||
5 Turbo Speed Data Block 6912 bytes of bogus header | |||
6 Turbo Speed Data Block 34460 bytes of bogus header | |||
7 Turbo Speed Data Block 6912 bytes of bogus header | |||
</code> | |||
In order to extract these files, use the <code>tzxcat</code> command: | |||
<code> | |||
tzxcat darkside.tzx -b 5 > darkside.zx.title | |||
tzxcat darkside.tzx -b 6 > darkside.zx.data | |||
tzxcat darkside.tzx -b 7 > darkside.zx.border | |||
</code> | |||
===Amstrad CPC releases=== | |||
All the Amstrad CPC releases [https://simonowen.com/samdisk/cmd_copy/ should be saved first from the original cassette/disk into a Extended dsk file]. | |||
Once the data is saved, use [https://github.com/damieng/DiskImageManager Disk Image Manager] to open the image and extract the following files: | |||
* dark1.scr | |||
* dark2.scr | |||
* darkcode.bin | |||
Make sure the files are '''extracted with header'''. | |||
