Yesterday I had to stay awake until 3am before understanding what to do with NYYRIKKI source code and getting some proper results, but today I'm really happy to say that ROM conversion is working... only with 8Kb ROMs, but... hey... it's a start



o_O You really put that in !? I must say that I'm a bit surprised. Maybe you should indeed try to contact Microwaver makers and see if you could get permission to include some of their code as a plugin for example.

Here are some suggestions for the user interface:
Import = Merge
Export = Convert
Add = Import

I think that you also should add handling routines for pressing Cancel in prompts.

The import feature (add) seems to also lack possibility to add binary files. Also when you add encoded Basic file it appears as ASCII file instead of Basic file.

I also suggest that you make just common import-button that autodetects the file type:

- Files that start with "AB" or have *.ROM extension are handled as ROM
- Files starting with #FE are Binary files
- Files starting with #FF are encoded Basic files
- other *.txt and *.bas files are ASCII files
- rest of the files are RAW blocks

I also miss very much export-button for easy cassette to diskette conversions.
