Overview

These tools are used to handle DMK disk images. Those images can represent strangely formatted disks and are used by openmsx(1) to allow correct emulation of disks which use those features for copy protection.

All tools except combine-dmk have a --help argument which explains their usage.

empty-dmk creates a new empty DMK image file.

dsk2dmk creates a new DMK image file and initializes it with the contents of a DSK image file.

svi2dmk creates a new DMK image file and initializes it with the contents of a special image file. See svi2dmk --help for more information.

svicpm2dmk creates a new DMK image file and initializes it with the contents of a special image file (CP/M version). See svicpm2dmk --help for more information.

der2dmk creates a new DMK image file and initializes it with the contents of a DSK image file. In addition, the error state from a DER disk error file is used to initialize the disk's error state.

combine-dmk reads a series of files named DMK-tt-h.DAT where tt is the track number, and h is the head, and creates a DMK image file named out.dmk, which is initialized with the data from those files.

analyze-dmk reads a DMK image file and prints statistics about it to the standard output.
