X16: Can we get a D64 image for X16 (`cc64-x16files.d64`)? #35

For my setup, I would like to have a D64 image for X16, analogous to the C16/C64 images. Is it possible to add this to the release?

Hi tmcintos, yes, that sure is possible. I'll make it so. Are you using the X16 with a 1541 disk drive?

Thanks!

It's a custom emulator with simulated 1541 drives as device 8 and device 9. Device 8 maps to a D64 disk image, and device 9 maps to a directory in the host file system.

I was having trouble using device 9 with the ZIP file because of #34 and the fact that I currently have it perform unconditional ASCII->PETSCII translation when reading from sequential files in the host file system, and as the files are already in PETSCII encoding this was not producing the desired results. So I was hoping to just use a disk image on device 8 for testing in the near term. The D64 image for the C64 works fine except that it does not contain the needed X16 files (I was trying to build the hello world program).

Release v0.13.1 with cc64-x16files.d64 is available now.
