🦋 dgen_tobin — the DGEN_TOBIN(1) manual, but make it cute 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the DGEN_TOBIN(1) page. Same facts, way more sparkle. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dgen_tobin — convert an SMD-format Genesis/Mega Drive image into raw (BIN) format. It's giving “ROM glow-up,” fr fr. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dgen_tobin FROMSMD TOBIN

Two positional besties: FROMSMD and TOBIN. Periodt. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: the ROM image FROMSMD gets converted into a raw image — literally the raw image as seen by the Genesis/Mega Drive console itself. That raw image is written into TOBIN. Iconic. 👑

If it was compiled with libarchive support and FROMSMD is compressed in a known format, it will also be transparently decompressed. The libarchive assist handles it, no extra drama. 🧚✨
