Command line for a batch process.

[javidoom]

Hello

Is there any chance to create an automatic creation of ms-dos disks from various directories?

I mean... I have several directories, filled with roms for the GameDoctor SF7 (snes copier), and I need to inject them (each directory) to a HFE file.

Example:

c:\snes\game1\anyarchiveinsidedirectory
c:\snes\game2\anyarchiveinsidedirectory
c:\snes\game3\anyarchiveinsidedirectory
etc...

to:

game1.hfe
game2.hfe
game3.hfe
etc...

I would use Excel and a batch process to do that... but only if there is a command line to use.
Or is there another way to do that?

Thanks!

Hello

This is one of the problems...

The extensions aren't always the same, sometimes there is no extension, sometimes it's .078, and another I've seen .s, .o, etc...

The conversion utility (Ucon64) converts from SMC (super magicon format) to GD3 (game doctor)... Making this odd naming extensions in the filename.

The name format in this case, is always:

SFxxyyyz.???

SF=always is SF
xx=size in mbits of the rom (8,12,16,24,32,...)
yyy=first three character of the name
z=A or B or C, etc... based on number of disks used for this game
???=strange extension...

Any idea how to convert them in a batch? And no one by one? (There are +3000 games...)

Thanks!

for the moment try to do a batch rename of the files extension to smc.
after this the batch converter will create a fat12 floppy with the file.
