Track conversion N3 to GPL

Track conversion N3 to GPL

by Stephen Colbourn » Mon, 03 Jan 2000 04:00:00

I have been trying to convert additional tracks for use in GPL such as Indy
, Daytona etc. so far with not much success.
Has anyone had any success at converting other tracks than those specified
by renaming the files, and possibly expanding the dat files so that the
internal file names can be modified.
I presume the conversion tool is hard coded to look for only certain file
names but does it care about the data it finds.
It might be using hard coded addresses that will prevent it working, but
maybe not.

Noonan (we are not worthy . . .)  rewrote the track files for each converted track.
There's no hope of the others working.  If you look at the tracks in GPL, you'll see
that they are different from N3.
