These will be awesome for compilation disks using ProDOS 2.4!
What compression are you using to get the file sizes down?

I'm using aPLib. LZ4 and ZX7 can't compare, given the size of data that I'm packing, and unpacking is about as fast as loading the original size from disk, so the experience is similar.

Tapper file-based version is in Asimov /incoming.
The damaged graphics on the bonus screen appear in the original, too.
I didn't try (yet) to repair that.

Great, thanks. I'll grab the intact one and repackage.

The easiest way I think to find them is to grep site_index.txt for "san

They're scattered over directories. I haven't rated a "collection" directory yet. ;-)
You can search the site_index.txt for "PRODOS (san inc".
The ones that say "*k file" are single-file ports, the ones that don't say "file" are multi-file. The ones that say "san inc pack" are ports from (mostly) 4am's cracks, the ones that say "san inc crack" are mine...
....in case any of that matters.

Many thanks to Peter and John. Bitsy Bye is great.
Just threw together a 140k games disk. Had 3 kids playing Wavy Navy.
Then the 10 year old got to level 3 on Lady Tut. I forgot to bring a joystick so he had to use a keyboard and was adept in just a few minutes!
Need to make an 800k collection. : - )
Cheers,
Nick.

:-) That sounds great, Nick. Then you can put the really big titles like Airheart on it. I think that I finally fixed it this time.
I'm still taking requests. Working through 4am's list at the moment...

Repton is in Asimov /incoming. It's multi-file (unlike 4am's version) to preserve the illusion of loading in 48kb. :-)

I'd like to get Wizardry 1 & 2 on a ProDOS 800K disk. Hopefully this could be done by using a Pascal partition file under Prodos, but I'm not sure how that works.
Has anyone seen Wizardry compilations before and/or worked with UCSD Pascal partitions under Prodos?

That reminds me that I've been musing about whether it might be possible
to port the Pascal runtime to ProDOS, such that it might be possible to
port "Apple Presents the Apple" to ProDOS.

Kyan Pascal is booted from Prodos. Not sure if it reads UCSD partitions though.

So far as I can remember, Kyan was ProDOS-hosted, and compiled down to
pure 6502 ML. UCSD compiled to P-code which was then interpreted the
same way BASIC is (but obviously, by its own interpreter, which is
totally unrelated to the BASIC interpreter)
UCSD Pascal disks could only be "spoken to" by UCSD Pascal, or assembly
translation routines. The physical disk format under UCSD was similar to
ProDOS in that it used two-sector "blocks", but from memory, I'm wanting
to say that the sectors that made up a given block weren't always the
same - A ProDOS MLI call to load, ferinstance, Block $0A of a Pascal
floppy might actually read what the Pascal system considered to be Block
$0A, but a call to read Block $11 might actually get you a block that
was made up of the first half of Pascal block $12 and the second half of
Pascal block $09. Something is tickling in the back of my mind that in
both systems, blocks that were made up of sectors living on track $00
could be read as expected, but once you moved into territory on track
$01 or higher, the block-to-sector-pairs translation got wonky. It could
be done, but it was non-trivial, and if I further recall rightly, doing
so required something along the lines of "Ask for ProDOS Block Y, stash
the first half of it into a buffer, then ask for ProDOS Block Z, grab
the second half of it and add it at the end of the stash buffer, then
hand the result back as Pascal Block X".
Then you got into the logical structure... A pascal directory entry DOES
NOT look anything like a ProDOS directory entry! They both have
filenames and sizes, but beyond that... <shrug> The information is
neither interchangeable, nor in the same places within the entry.

Strange. This works under mame64 but when I run it under Virtual ][, it
crashes because something is clobbering $077f such that the JSR $0550
at $077d becomes a JSR $0050.

I tested copying all the Pascal 1.3 & APPLE 0,1,2,3 files onto a single 800K diskette and running programs from it. Seems to work, but I have to boot from s6,d1 5.25 first.
Similarly, I copied the 2x 5.25 disk images for Wizardry 1 onto an 800K disk and can run WIZARDRY.CODE off of it to start the game, but then it wants slot 6 disk 1 for the scenario disk. If I put the 5.25 scenario into s6,d1 the game runs.
Same for Wizardry 2 when copied to an 800K. Runs but is hardcoded for slot 6, drive 1 scenario disk.

It's caused by the load order for repton.2 and repton.3.
Try swapping the filenames.

Yes! I've just been upgraded to having my own directory.

Still taking requests? Captain Goodnight and Wings of Fury! Anything
from Broderbund actually :-)
Airheart is now working running on my real ROM01 IIGS from System 6 and
from ProDOS 8 2.0.3 (I still need to update my 8-bit games collection
with ProDOS 8 v2.4.1) via a CFFA3000! Thanks many times over for your
persistence. Look forward to more ProDOS ports!

I might have spoken too soon!
If the attract mode runs for a period, then pressing the fire button to
start a game seems to freeze Airheart. If you start a game almost
immediately after the program has loaded, no problem.
Unfortunately, I haven't had more time to test further. This is from
ProDOS 8 v2.0.3, so I'd like to try with v2.4.1.
I'd also like to test playing through out the entire game (especially
when you free the Prince, as that requires additional disk access on
the original.
Actually, just dying displays the 'THE END' message, but the game then
freezes again. Something to do with disk access for a third time after
the game has been loaded?
I won't be able to test again until next week.

Yes, yes, and yes. :-)
I believe that there's enough spare memory to convert Captain Goodnight.
I'm still trying to find time to make a clean crack of Wings of Fury, and then I can see what space is available for it.

I can actually reproduce that one! Now to think about how to fix it...

I can reproduce that one, too. Same cause, so both might be solved at once.
Thanks for testing it.

Cool !
Let me express (again) how much I appreciate your work. The combination of
all those recent ProDOS block/smartport devices with your ProDOS ports
lifts owning a real Apple II to a totally new level :-))

These, I take it, all run under Prodos?
When you finally call it quits, can you upload a hard drive volume with all your work?
Having said that, I believe each file contains self-extracting code? And if so, can the files be made even smaller and be selected from a single program selector that has the extractor?
