Re: A86: Great... An 86 Emulator and no decent ROM dump program


I tried using Commit, and it didn't work b/c I was using the official GL...
I have been working on a program that will take a # from 0-15 as input and
make a 16K string called DUMP that has a dump of that entire page, but it
hasn't been working correctly.  Another problem with this is once you get all
16 .86p files on computer, you still need to kill the first 4Ah (i think)
bytesa and then add them all together (which isn't too bad anymore with
86romcat.exe)
