Fast YM tools

Tools for creating and replaying FYM files on 6502 computers.
The provided player works on Apple II with a Mockingboard (2x AY-3-8910).

FYM is a format based on the YM format by Arnaud Carré (Leonard). It gives a very good final size ratio without using any form of LZ* compression. The ratio is almost what you can get with the MYM format.

For a complete explanation of how the file format works, please read the associated article here:

Apple II with a Mockingboard

• player
  Contains the player in 6502 assembler code for Apple II.

• YM2FYM
  YM to FYM converter in C#

You need the following tools:

• acme cross-compiler
• make (the GNU tool)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/acme-crossass/ Add acme's path to the environment PATH variable.

The fastest way to install make on Windows is to install chocolatey:
https://chocolatey.org/
Then open a shell as administrator and type:
choco install make

Please change the needed paths in the makefile. You also need to provide a ProDos DSK file.

To build the demo player, open a shell, go to the "player" folder and type:
make

You will get a DSK file that works on any Apple II emulator.
