I'm using cdxtract. it does convert to STS format, though I find it sort of clunky to use. Don't like that you need to tell it's browser window what to look for before it displays files. Ken says he's getting paramet errors.

Anybody have better luck with Chickensys? Is there any translator or libriarian which exposes details of parameter mappings from one format to another ? I'd like to see the details sometimes.

Well, i have paid for CDXtract AND Translator... They are but good, in their own way... CDXtract is fast, but not precise, very often it convert a program all wrong, and i do it again manualy, and it convert ok... It's just nor consistent. As for Translator, well, the interface is real sh*t, but i can make a CD image of a real akai CD with my own STS programs and is ready to burn a CD with... Convert a couple more format than CDXtract, but is SLOOOOOOOW as hell.

The biggest problem of Translator is his interface, clumsy, badly thinked, i don't know if i could do worst that that!
