Is there a way to make the CC2 menu creation program work with Windows 7 64-bit? Every time I try it says that it's not compatible with the 64-bit OS.

Don't have this but tried compatibility mode?

If there are any Windows developers here, it should be trivial to write a utility program from scratch. I wrote a CC2 menu program for classic Mac OS and I'd be willing to share the code. You drag a TXT or CC2 file onto the window and it'll convert it in the same directory.

I have Windows 7 64-bit and the CC2MenuGenerator.exe program runs fine. It appears to be a DOS program.

Ok I figured it out, I was using the wrong tool. I'm now using the menu converter tool for my custom made menu file, but I'm running into a problem. It's saying I have too many entries per line. I don't see how as I have a column for the GAME NAME, ROM NAME, BANKSWITCHING, BIOS, and CHECKSUM. If I remove one of the columns (like checksum) then it works but it's probably not working right. any ideas? Here's a little sample of my file:

7800: Ace Of Aces				ACE78		78SC_LOW	78BIOS		04bbdc71
7800: Alien Brigade				ALIEN78		78SC_BIG	78BIOS		15ef9ec2
7800: Asteroids					ASTR78		HSC_16K		HSC		53a7468c
7800: Asteroids Deluxe 				ASTDLX78	HSC_32K		HSC		7f3a2ab9
7800: Asteroids VE 				ASTRVE78	HSC_16K		HSC		af4a5dc7
7800: Ballblazer				BALLBL78	78POKEY		78BIOS		10d821ea
7800: Barnyard Blaster				BARNYD78	78SC_LOW	78BIOS		cc4d2e4a
7800: Basketbrawl				BASKET78	78SC_LOW	78BIOS		52f7a63c

Remove the checksum. My menu files just have the other four columns.

Ok, I didn't know if you need that or not.

This probably belongs in the 7800 forum but oh well.

But to answer the question; if you are creating a CC2ROMDB.TXT file you need the checksums, if you are creating a MENU.TXT file you do not.

Not really. It just takes a little time to figure it out.
