CVGFX utility

While reading through the AtariAge forums, I was impressed by the number of 'hacks' for Atari 2600 VCS graphics there were, and how simply they had been done.

So I decided to put together a very basic utility, to allow non-programmers to do the same on the Creativision.

On the first pass, you do cvgfx mygame.rom mygame.txt

This will produce a large text file with each byte represented as an 8-bit graphic.

Look through the text till you find the graphic representation of the part you wish to change.

DO NOT ADD OR REMOVE ANY LINES

Finally, to regenerate a ROM for testing, do cvgfx mygame.txt mynew.rom

Test mynew.rom in the emulator.

So no coding required, just access to a good text editor is all you need.

Enjoy!
