CRT ID
The CRT ID identifies an emulator .crt file, allows it to check the file to a certain degree and distinguish wether emulation is provided or not. Knowing the CRT ID is of no real use for the end user but might pose useful for hacking around.
Cartconv supplied with VICE will convert binaries to .crt format by passing it the correct keyword.
For more details refer to the VICE manual, chapter 17.14 The CRT cartridge image format. The current cartridge.h from the VICE emulator may serve as well.
The table below gives an overview on the VICE emulation as of September 2024, and also shows the capabilities of some more or less recent hardware extensions.
