Is there anyway I can create a .dat file from a rom?
« on: August 23, 2003, 12:07:37 am »
Sorry if this is offtopic/illegal ect not sure if it is...

Basically, I have an emulator that needs a .dat file to load each game. The problem is that there are sometimes multiple versions of each game. I'm trying to find a program or something that would give out information of my particular rom, similar to this...

System: NEO
RomName: sengoku3
Game: Sengoku 3

[Program]
261-p1.bin,100000,200000,5B557201,1

[Text]

[Z80]
261-m1.bin,0,20000,36ED9CDD,0

[Samples]
261-v1.bin,0,400000,64C30081,0
261-v2.bin,400000,400000,392A9C47,0
261-v3.bin,800000,400000,C1A7EBE3
261-v4.bin,C00000,200000,9000D085

[Graphics]
261-c1.bin,0,800000,DED84D9C,0
261-c2.bin,1,800000,B8EB4348,0
261-c3.bin,1000000,800000,84E2034A,0
261-c4.bin,1000001,800000,0B45AE53,0

[System]
CartridgeID: 261
GfxCrypt: 1
GfxKey: fe
ButLayout: 9
Fix: 15

Any help? Sorry if I sound confusing :(

Howard has a link to datfile maker on his site....

http://www.oscarcontrols.com/lazarus/

go to the other downloads section and pick misc utilities.... there should be one there.
It worked for me making a dat file for the few genesis roms i had so this may help you.
