Picture to .ADL

Post by SidewayRum »

Drawn a picture.
Converted it with Image2BBC. It export a file and an .inf file.
Halted here.

I really dunno how to add the picture on the .ADL disk I'm using with BeebEm. I've found a number of .sdd managers, but nothing for ADFS so far (or nothing I could understand, anyway).
Beeb Image seems to properly transfer the file, but then °LOAD PIC 3000 do nothing (I'm doing something wrong for sure).
Point by point guide in exchange for my gratitude.

These steps worked for me:

1) open BBC Micro Image Conterter, load in the .png File -> Save as -> BBC Micro screen dump
2) Open .adl file in Beeb Image (http://www.cowsarenotpurple.co.uk/beeb-image.html)
3) Press Add Files from Host -> select the 20kb file not the INF from step 1
4) Edit the Load Address to be FFFF3000
5) Save Image
6) open adf/adl image in BeebEM, ctrl-a-break, MODE 2, *LOAD img

just FYI, if you switch to using DFS rather than ADFS you can use beebem's built in file transfer.

You're very kind!
I found I was doing right, you helped me to double check it, the issue was... just a soft break after Welcome disk #-o .
I dunno if Welcome or the Sprite ROM relocate VRAM, anyway the effect of *LOAD was just a dumb > prompt.
Now it work as it should.
Thank you!

Doesn't Image2BBC output to ssd?

You can also use Disc Image Manager to import files to/from ssd or adl (or many other formats).
