Putting roms onto gommc

For my BBC B I use bbcim to create a disk image containing all the roms
I want, and then put this disk onto GoMMC, e.g.

-- start perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl

unlink <dfs-roms.dsd*>;

@...=<*.rom>;
foreach $i (@ROMfiles) {
 $size=(stat($i))[7];
 $file=$i;
 $file=~s/$/.inf/;
 open(OUT,">$file");
 printf OUT ("\$.%-8s 0000 0000 %04x\n", $i, $size, $CRC);
 close(OUT);
}

print "Executing: bbcim -a dfs-roms.dsd @ROMfiles\n";
system("bbcim -a dfs-roms.dsd @ROMfiles");
unlink <*.inf>;

-- end perl script

and run gommcio with
 MMCADDG dfs-roms.dsd dfs-roms
as its command script.

bbcim is found at
http://8-bit.summerfield-technology.co.uk/bbc/bbc-pc-software.html

Most of the perl script creates matching *.inf files for the *.rom
files.  The key thing here is the file name & the file size -- you can
alter/create the other stuff when on the BBC.

Please note that I've changed my email address from

The old one is proving to be a little unreliable.
