Hi folks,
I've written a little tool called AGD Extractor, which takes 48K snapshots of AGD games and generates .AGD files for them. To use it, create a 48K snapshot of the game from which you wish to extract the data (eg mygame.sna) then open a DOS prompt and type agdext mygame to create a new file, mygame.agd. Don't specify a .sna extension in the command line, the tool takes care of that.
This is an initial release that hasn't seen a lot of testing but I've released it so that you can start to have a play with it. It has only been tested on Ship of Doom at present so will only work with games written using the same version of AGD (4.7?). I'll add other versions later. It also won't work on games that use 16x24 sprites.
It's probably going to create/highlight all sorts of issues, but do let me know how you get on with it.
