- SYNOPSIS OF mc-down
--quiet,-q be quiet

- DESCRIPTION OF mc-down
With mc-down you can transfer files from a PSX memory card to your current linux directory. The filenames are taken from the PSX memory card filesystem. A list of filenames to be transferred must be given at the command line, and you can also use shell wildcards (which are applied to the PSX memory card filesystem). Each transferred file has a small header of 56 bytes which contains simply the original filename. This is compatible with the original caetla tools - they were written for MSDOS which can't handle long filenames. You can rename the files if you want but if you want to upload a file back to a PSX memory card, make sure the header is intact.
- EXAMPLES FOR mc-down
mc-down BES\*
would download all BES* files from the memorycard in the first slot.
mc-down --slot=1 \*
would download all files from the memorycard in the second slot.
- BUGS OF mc-down
Slots are numbered 0 and 1 instead of 1 and 2. This is a design bug in all memory card tools but
it won't be changed anymore.
- NOTES ON mc-down
You need to escape the shell meta characters * and ?, because they are applied on the PSX filesystem.
