Docs/Filetypes

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
Z80Em: Filetypes
================

Official Acorn filetype allocations:
Name   SNA
Number &BA1

Name   Z80
Number &BA0

(see 'SNAformat' and 'Z80format' for file formats)

Double-clicking on a Snapshot will load it into the emulator
and run it

Dragging a snapshot to the icon bar will load it without
entering the emulator - files loaded in this way need not
be filetyped, and you must use this method to load anything
that does not have an official Acorn filetype (eg .TAP files)

NB some Z80 snapshots will be for Spectrum 128k emulators

Snapshots can be saved from the emulator in either Z80 or SNA
format.
