💾 scl2trd — the girlies are converting disk images ✨

okay bestie, so you know scl2trd? it's a little emulator-side bestie (from the Emulators manual section, section 1, iykyk) and it does exactly one thing and does it beautifully: it takes your .scl disk images and turns them into .trd ones. no cap. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

scl2trd [OPTION] sclfile trdfile

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the vibe: scl2trd converts a .scl disk file into a 80 track, double sided (640 KB) .trd disk file. that's it. that's the whole personality. and honestly? iconic. 👑

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -h, --help — gives you a brief lil usage help moment, listing all the available options. your bestie when you're lost 🫶
  • -V, --version — outputs version information. so you know exactly which era of scl2trd you're dealing with ⭐
  • sclfile — specifies a .scl file whose contents are to be converted. the input, the source material, the raw clay 🌈
