To build CPC disk you have to create first a file named DAAD.BIN. That file can be bade using MCRF utility, which is bundled together with DRC DAAD Compiler

You should use MCRF this way:

MCRF DAAD.BIN INT.Z80 DAAD.DDB BLANK.GRA

Where INT.Z80 is the file name of the CPC interpreter file, either the Spanish (DCPCIS.Z80) or the English (DCPCIE.Z80) one, DAAD.DDB is the file name of the DDB file generated by the compiler, and BLANK.GRA is the name of the DAAD characters and vectorial graphics file.

Once you have DAAD.BIN you should include it into a CPC disk, together with .CPC files if you are using XPICTURE, and 00.XMB, 01.XMB, etc. if you are using XMESSAGE.

You can find the required files following this link.

Recommended software

  • CPCDiskXP is a tool for windows able to add files to a CPC .DSK file either via GUI or commandline.

  • ConvImgCpc 0.10 can convert image files into .SCR files used by SC2DAAD to generate the image files loaded by Maluva extension (.CPC images). Pelase notice there are newer versions with more features you can use, but you will have to load them in version 0.10 last to be able to generate a .SCR file SC2DAAD understands.
