How get Sam's Journey working on Easyflash 3

I was not able to burn the crt file from Sam's Journey digital download, to an EasyFlash 3 slot. It kept informing me that the CRT type was not supported.

To work around this issue, I found it was possible to utilize the cartconv cli utility to convert the sams-journey-gmod2-flash.bin to a CRT type that EasyFlash 3 accepts.

Cartconv Workaround

Install vice:

pacman -S vice

Convert sams-journey-gmod2-flash.bin to crt:

cartconv -p -i sams-journey-gmod2-flash.bin -o samsjourneynew.crt -t ocean

Burn it to a slot on EasyFlash 3

Options:

• Use ef3usb with EasyProg running on the C64
• Copy the resulting crt file to sd2iec sdcard and burn it using the EasyProg menu directly on the C64

NB

It is not possible to save with this workaround. Will update the article if I find a way to get it to work.
