Luckilly this is mostly false news, and I guess depends on what dd.exe you have installed!Andrew wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:40 amThis is works only for Linux.XorA wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:18 am Just a note for people needing to quickly byteswap disk images

dd if=input.img of=output.img bs=4k conv=swab
On Windows dd does not do any conversion.
I downloaded all dd windows-versions I could find, and none accepted the =swab parameter. If you have a link to a windows version that can perform the conversion, please post it here.XorA wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 2:26 pmLuckilly this is mostly false news, and I guess depends on what dd.exe you have installed!Andrew wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:40 amThis is works only for Linux.XorA wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 10:18 am Just a note for people needing to quickly byteswap disk images

I didn't realise there was a Windows version; good to know.

Agreed, no need to swap bytes. The QubIDE image should work as is.Derek_Stewart wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 7:00 pm I used FS-UAE on Linux or WIN-UAE on Windows...
All worked without swapping bytes.
Ah, I was already wondering. To have this info in the accompanying textfile would be good.Mark Swift wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 7:47 am There are 3 versions of the ROM in the zip file.
QC3955UAE.ROM - no qubide
QC3955UAE1.ROM - with qubide for A1200
QC3955UAE4.ROM - with qubide for A4000
This was not checked and caused the problem!
