A simple, offline, web-app for splitting .z8 game files into smaller chunks compatible with the standalone executables for Status Line v3.0. Creates a 256K chunk + a "whatever remains" chunk. Pico 8 users running the .p8 file do not need to bother with this tool.

Each chunk ("split" file) is prefaced with an 8-byte header:

  • 3-byte magic number, 0xDECAFF
    (signifies this is a Status Line SPLIT file)
  • 1-byte integer, a 1 or 2
    (is this the first or second SPLIT file of the game)
  • 4-byte game identifier
    (are the split files related or not?)

All bytes after the header are the raw .z8 game data; dead simple, nothing fancy.

View the source code in your web browser of choice, or you can see the entirety of this tiny app at its github repo and copy it to your machine for local use.
