Augusto Ruiz created a command line program, which you can use to create RAW data DSK files. Those disks are normally intended to be read directly with the FDC and is a good choice if you want to do cross-development for the Amstrad CPC.
It is written in .NET, so you need at least .NET 2.0… or Mono – so you can use the program under Linux, too. You can download it from the tools website or at the end of this news..

After just five days of development Brueggi of PNG released a brand new ROM manager for Bryce’ MegaFlash ROM box. It features an easy to use user interface and runs under AMSDOS. One of the biggest features is the ROM generator, which allows you to convert binary programs directly into a ROM, which you can start with an RSX command that you can define during the creation. This cool feature allows you to store the ROM manager within the MegaFlash, too. You can use ROMs with and without headers as BIN or ASCII files.

[UPDATE 2013/03/07:] ROMAN v1.0 is now available in a version, which can be used with the [[SYMBiFACE II]] expansion by Dr.Zed.

You can download both versions of ROMAN directly from the PNG homepage or at the end of this news.
