[Coco] Copyrighted ROM's

[rietveld rietveld]

Your idea is very good but the technique used to create virtual. Dsk images is irksome to many. I think people would find it easier to flash the cart using a pre-populated disk image.
I have already gone through the tedious process of converting the archive available. Ccc files.   They needed to be converted to flashable binarys before they can be used on the cocoflash

Perhaps you could also just upload your installer package to the archive and tell people it’s there?

The ROMs are already there, so…
