A utility by Nocash which converts a disk image to a cartridge.
The tool hasn't been tested on the GX4000 so cartridges that are created may not work on it. You should test this to be sure.
In addition if the game/program has any of the following it will not work on GX4000:
- It uses keyboard or requires keyboard input to get into the game
- It uses 128K ONLY (or it's a bad "crack" that requires 128K to work even though the game itself would work in 64K).
However, the tool is easy for the non-programmer to use.

The created cartridge image has the OS, BASIC and Amsdos embedded in it and the data from the disk image (tracks/sectors).
Page 0 is OS. Page 1 is BASIC. Page 2 contains part of the disk image data. Page 3 contains AMSDOS. Page 4 onwards contains disk image data.
The image contains a patched Amsdos that reads from the cartridge rather than reading from disk.
