*** N64 (64NET container files) *** Document revision: 1.3 *** Last updated: March 11, 2004 *** Compiler/Editor: Peter Schepers *** Contributors/sources: Markus Mehring 64NET links your C64 and PC together through a special cable, and provides the C64 access to many image and native files stored on your PC hard disk. Early versions only provided access to 64NET's custom filetype "N64", which is explained here, but newer versions also support many of the common files (LNX, T64, D64, etc). The following is a dump of an N64 file: 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ASCII ----------------------------------------------- ---------------- 00: 43 36 34 01 82 01 08 C4 0C 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 C64ת‚תתִתתתתתתתת 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 31 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתת1 20: 35 58 58 20 2D 3E 20 36 34 4E 45 54 00 00 00 00 5XXת->ת64NETתתתת 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 50: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 60: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 70: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 80: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת 90: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת A0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת B0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת C0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת D0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת E0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 תתתתתתתתתתתתתתתת F0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .. .. תתתתתתתתתתתתתת.. Bytes: $00-02: 64NET file signature ("C64") 03: File version ($01) 04: C64 filetype. Valid types are: $x0=DEL $x1=SEQ $x2=PRG $x3=SEQ $x4=REL $x5=DIR (not really implemented) $x6=VOL (not really implemented) Bit 0-3: The actual filetype 000 (0) - DEL 001 (1) - SEQ 010 (2) - PRG 011 (3) - USR 100 (4) - REL Values 5-15 are illegal, but if used will produce very strange results. The 1541 is inconsistent in how it treats these bits. Some routines use all 4 bits, others ignore bit 3, resulting in values from 0-7. Bit 4: Not used Bit 5: Used only during SAVE-@ replacement Bit 6: Locked flag (Set produces ">" locked files) Bit 7: Closed flag (Not set produces "*", or "splat" files) 05-06: Load address of contained file in low/high format. Some versions do not contain this address, so use the one at the beginning of the file data. 07-0A: File size (in bytes, low/med1/med2/high format). This provides access to *very* large files, up to 2 Gigabytes! 0B: Network security level $00 - None 01 - Visitor 02 - Low 03 - High 04 - Master 0C-1E: Reserved for future use 1F-2E: 16-byte C64 filename in PETASCII, padded with $00 2F: Set to $00 30-FD: Reserved for future use FE-: Start of file data (including original load address) Some versions of these files are longer than what the header and file size total up to. It is safe to ignore this inconsistency and only read the amount of data dictated by the "file size".
