Disk2EasyFlash — Quick Overview and How-To

Disk2EasyFlash is a tool for converting vintage Commodore disk images (D64, G64, etc.) into EasyFlash-compatible ROM images so they can run on modern EasyFlash-equipped Commodore 64 hardware or emulators. Below is a concise, user-facing post you can publish or adapt.

The tool works by redirecting standard disk traffic to the cartridge's memory banks. disk2easyflash

What it does

  • Converts Commodore 64 disk images (D64/G64/PRG/…) into EasyFlash cartridge images.
  • Packages single programs or whole-disk collections into a cartridge layout for instant loading.
  • Supports options for ROM banking, autorun, and menu selection on multi-title carts.

It was tricking the computer into thinking it was reading from a disk that didn't exist. plug it into the EasyFlash 3

  • The EasyFlash 3 Programmer: Use the EF3 tool on your PC to write the .crt directly via USB to the cartridge.
  • The SD Card Method: Copy the .crt to an SD card, plug it into the EasyFlash 3, and use the on-cartridge menu to flash it to internal memory.
