Re: nonmaskable.com ImageDisk files

Thanks for the help!

As I've understood, the loop points are stored in the VC header, byte 0x0000 - 0x14ff
The raw audio data starts at  byte 0x1500 and is 16384 bytes long

When I took a look at the source code (I'm not very good at C), I found this;

/* at byte 0x1330: mode 4 loop parameters */
u_char dummy11;
u_char dummy12;
u_char swav;
u_char ewav;
u_char dummy13;
u_char dummy14;
u_char dummy15;
u_char dummy16;
u_char dummy17;
u_char dummy18;
u_char dummy19;
u_char lflg;
u_char dummy20;
u_char dummy21;
u_char dummy22;
u_char dummy23;

Is "swav" the start point (0x1332) of the loop and "ewav" the end point (0x1333)? 

What is the "lflg"? Loop flag? On/off?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
