JC64dis File menu

The file menu is dedicated to the project, and so have many voices:

New project

To use the disassembler it is necessary to be inside a project, so creating a new one is the fist step to do.

The project windows gives you the ability to insert:

Open project

The function let you open a previusly salved project by read a .dis file.
Only one project can be opened at time, so you have to close the previous before opening a new one.

Close project

This function let you close the current project to work with a new one.
If you had not saved it, you can still save it bebore closing.

Save project

Save the project to the current .dis file being in use.

Save as project

Save the project to a .dis file that you choose or create as new.

Apply SIDlD memory flags to memory

If you have associated some SIDLD files to the project, here you can apply them to the memory location, so you will get the code/data part compiled in automatic. The program takes your confirmation before going on.

Create a MPR archive

The MPR is a custom files that contains many PRGs inside, so you can disassembly all files together.
This is usefull when you have some files from disk or tape that load itself in different part of the memory: you can so disassembly the memory with all the programs inside.
This means that one program should start and end before the starting of another peaces, otherwise the common memory is filled with the last read one.
For creating the MPR archive you should select all PRG files with CRTL+click from the file selector, then you should insert the name of resulting MPR archive.

Collaborative merge

Suppose you are working in a team for disassembly for example a game. One people will follow the music, one people the graphics, and so on.
You need to create the project for that program and then give a copy to each people of the team to work on.
When all people has worked to their peace, you need to use this function to merge your work with all the other. Your work is so the primary and all the other the secondary.
The idea is that if you apply something to a memory location (make labels, comments, data/code assigment and so on) this will not be altered by secondary files, otherwise the value of secodary file being imported will be used.
The resulting project file is now the merge of all works and you can see all contribution together.

Exit

This exit the application.
