combining rom images

i have a gq-4x( willem) burner. i need to combine a 128k rom and a 256k rom into a 512k image. the command line is:

copy /b CPU_5B.128 + CPU_5B.128 + CPU_5C.256 CPU_5C.512

how do i do that with the rom burning software?

thanks

You really need to provide more context here. At the risk of stating the obvious that is an MS-DOS/Windows command line command to combine two copies of the first ROM followed by the second into a single image - presumably the ROM images are in binary format and the secnd copy of the first is being used as a spacer to pad the second ROM to the correct starting offset. You'd execute that in a Windows command line window (Windows key+R, type "cmd" and press enter, cd to the folder containing the files and enter that command) With that done you have a single 512k ROM image to burn as one file with your device programmer and and software.

It's not clear at what step of the process you have issues so you really need to be more specific.

Normally you set the destination for the code that you are storing on the EPROM to defaults - so that would be starting at 0000h and filling the EPROM with the contents of the file.

To achieve this combination you need to assign the first (128) EPROM to

0000h-3FFFh, the second (128) to 4000h - 7FFFh, and the last (256) to 8000H to FFFFh.

I don't use the Willem so have no idea how this works with their interface, but that is what you are trying to accomplish.

Is this for your Data East pinball that you asked about on RGP?
