CHKROM(1)

NAME
chkrom - check or disassemble 8K or 16K Atari 8-bit cartridge images

SYNOPSIS

chkrom [-disassemble] rom-image

DESCRIPTION

chkrom reads a raw Atari 8-bit ROM image (not a .car file) and prints the run address, init address, and the decoded flags in the cartridge options byte.

Sample run:

$ chkrom basic.rom
chkrom v1.00 (c) 1998-1999 Jindrich Kubec <kubecj@asw.cz>
ROM file:  basic.rom
Init Addr :BFF0
Run Addr  :A000
Flags     :0500 ( INIT&RUN BOOT )
Ok!

chkrom only supports images exactly 8KB (8192 bytes) or 16KB (16384 bytes). Bankswitched cartridge aren't supported. If you get "Unknown ROM size", make sure you're using a raw image. If it's a .car image, use cart2rom(1) to make a raw image of it.

OPTIONS

-disassemble
    Prints a disassembly of the entire cartridge.

EXIT STATUS

Zero for success, non-zero for failure.
