snapconv(1)
Sinclair ZX Spectrum snapshot converter
SYNOPSIS
snapconv
[ -c ] [ -n ] [ -f ]
infile outfile
DESCRIPTION
snapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.
OPTIONS
- -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.
BUGS
None known.
