HEPAX to MOD converstion

[MeindertKuipers]

The MOD file can be marked with various settings in the MOD File Handler, this allows you to edit the metadata that is used by V41 or the DM41X. This is not trivial unfortunately.
The selections in the tab for the ROM Handler are used only for the header listing or disassembler, and do not change anything in the ROM or MOD file!

A MOD file will need the RAM setting checked for the V41 or DM41X to be able to recognize the page as RAM. Details on how it is handled may depend on the actual implementation. Best is to use an existing image from DM41X or V41 with the desired functionality as an example.

And to create an mcode program you will have to learn. Recommended start is to use the HEPAX manual Vol 2.

Thanks for taking a look. I don't know how a MOD can be marked as hepax-ram. In your HP41 ROM Handler are two switches which sound like this, on the ROM-Handler-Page is a checkbox Hepax RAM page - is this the one to check? Or RAM on MOD File Handler page?

I think RAMBOX is for a beginner a bit easier to handle then HEPAX. Does the RAMBOX Version need this mark too?

Unfortunately, I can't get any further with the visualization in CAT 2, because I don't know how to create an mcode program and copy it into the rampage of the hepax or rambox.
