I'm searching for a way to merge 2 binary files, so that the resulting file has:

1st byte from 1st file
2nd byte from 2nd file
3rd byte from 1st file
4th byte from 2nd file
5th byte from 1st file
6th byte from 2nd file

and so on.

Basically I want to merge the Mega-Tech Tetris dump in MAME to compare it with the normal cart dump we have now.

The 2 parts are splitted byte-by-byte.

There are lot of programs in the net to split/unsplit files (odd/even bytes)

Result: Same as "Sega - Mega Drive / Genesis", "Tetris (Japan).md"

So fast! Thanks, works perfectly.

I guess now we can save the thousand of euros needed to buy one of the few MD Tetris cart out there
