Atari Executable File Checker

Overview

Atari Executable File Checker (AEChecker) is a simple application that allows you to analyze and inspect one or many Atari executables.

Atari Executable Structure Types

AEChecker detects and reports on the following structure types of Atari executables:

• Alien (not an Atari executable)
• Corrupt or with problematic structure
• Monolithic
• One segment with INIT
• Segmented without INIT segments
• Segmented

Functions

• Create a quick report that displays basic information on the analyzed Atari executables and segment listing (optional)
• Create a detailed CSV report that displays basic and detailed information on the analyzed Atari executables. The CSV report can be easily imported in a spreadsheet for filtering and sorting
• Copy or move files of selected structure types to separate directories.

Detailed CSV Report

The detailed CSV report holds the following information:

• Relative path
• Size in bytes
• Number of segments
• Number of INIT segments
• Number of RUN segments
• If any of the segments goes to ZP
• If any of the segments goes to STACK
• If any of the segments goes to "Low RAM", except RUNAD,INITAD.
• If any of the segments goes to the I/O area, PORTB, PACTL, PBCTL
• If any of the segments goes to "RAM under ROM"
• If any of the segments goes to COLDST
• Error message (for ALIEN and CORRUPT structure types)
• Segment listing (optional)
