Converter

MMV64 can convert a file to a format readable by the N64 by using the converter associated with the file's extension.

1. Creating a Converter

When developing a converter for MMV64, please allow input files and output files to be specified.

Example: In the case of texmmv.exe (converter for texture viewer for MMV64)

    texmmv INFILE1 INFILE2 -o OUTFILE
        INFILE1 , INFILE2    ... Specify the input file
        OUTFILE                 ... Specify the output file

Multiple input files can be specified, but they must be contiguous as in the above example. Only one output file may be specified.

Specify the input file and output file in double-quotes and use the full pathname.

In addition, design the converter so that it returns a 0 (zero) when it terminates normally.

2. Converter File Association

Once you have finished creating your converter, you must associate file types with it.
Click the button to open the "File Setting window" shown below.

• Select the "Use Converter" check box.
• Specify the converter program, using its full pathname, in "Converter". You may also locate the converter using the Browse button. If the converter is stored in a sub-directory of the directory MMV64.exe is in, the pathname will be changed to a relative pathname as in the example above.
• Specify the index number to be given to the converter in "Options for converter". ">" indicates the output file and "<" indicates the input file.)
• Select the "Allow multi files" checkbox when the converter supports multiple input files.
