Workflow Examples

Preparing Files for DSK

Add proper AMSDOS headers before adding files to a disk:

# Add header to binary
hideur demo.bin -o demo.bin -t binary -l 0x4000 -x 0x4000

# Then add to DSK using catalog tool
catalog mydisk.dsk modify --add demo.bin

Converting Raw Binary to Executable

# Raw binary from assembler
hideur output.bin -o DEMO.BIN -t binary -l 0x8000 -x 0x8000

Integration with Build Systems

In a bndbuild.yml file:

- tgt: game.bin
  dep: game_raw.bin
  cmd: hideur $< -o $@ -t binary -l 0x4000 -x 0x4000
