10
12 snapconv converts between ZX Spectrum snapshot files.
13
15 -c specifies that all data in the output snapshot should be com‐
16 pressed, even if that compression will result in a bigger file
17 than if some data is left uncompressed. This helps compatibility
18 with some buggy programs that can only read entirely compressed
19 .z80 files.
20
21 -n specifies that the output snapshot should be uncompressed.
22
23 -f specifies that the A and F and A' and F' registers should be
24 swapped. Version 0.5.0 and older of libspectrum(3) had a bug
25 that resulted in these registers being swapped in SZX snapshots
26 only. Version 0.5.1 and newer of libspectrum(3) automatically
27 recognise these snapshots and correct the problem, but this flag
28 is necessary to fix some snapshots created by development ver‐
29 sions only of libspectrum(3) which had the bug fixed, but cannot
30 be distinguished from snapshots containing the bug.
31
32 infile specifies the snapshot to be converted. This file can be in any
33 of the snapshot formats supported by libspectrum(3).
34
35 outfile
36 specifies the output snapshot. The format will be determined by
37 the file extension and can be in any of the formats libspec‐
38 trum(3) supports for output.
