CAS file format

[ZZarko]

Hi all,

I have no idea if this group is active, I hope it is...

A few months back I started to make a tool that tries to recognize various emulator formats, and I wanted to add TVC. I have found this description for CAS file format:

And I have also downloaded some archives with TVC games, and tried to apply blocknumber and lastblockbytes (offsets 02/03 and 04), to see if numbers match. For most of games they match, except for some newer ones (mostly fantastic games made by Kiss Károly in past few years: ARENA2024, Bandi a HOS, Ermek, Nyari Tabor, Rush, Sotet Kastely) where those values do not correspond to specification. My question is, is there some alternative way of interpreting length bytes? If not, my next guess would be that TRSE's CAS generation is flawed, and if it is, I'll make a bug report for it.

Anyhow, if someone has some insights into this, please tell. And if anyone is interested, my tool is at:

Cheers,

Zarko

P.S I also have an TVC, but its power supply blew, and I still did not fix it... :(
