Noob New 1024STe User w/pics!
IainGrimm replied to Wiffleplop's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
With the discs I did have some success using an external USB floppy drive, with the external drive I could write the 720k discs fine but non of the 800k discs using Omniflop. I also managed to format said discs as 720k (there is a bat file out there that will do it and it works with USB floppy). After the discs are formatted Windows cannot read them at all, however you can copy & paste programs over to them, not disc images but the normal TOS type files then your ST will read them fine. I did setup an old PC on my 3rd floor with a FDD controller on the board primarily for writing old formats, works nicely, need to get an internal 5" drive next so I don't have to keep connecting my C64 1541 up to the parallel port. Running this on Windows 7 32 Bit and it is all good, took a day or so to get everything up and running, working out correct Parallel Port settings for 1541 and installing the Omniflop driver etc but it has been worth it. -
Atari 520STFM with LG LCD TV?
IainGrimm replied to flashjazzcat's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
I bought a D Type Scart for my ST from Retro Gaming cables (bought a few cables from them in the past and never an issue), few issues with it though, seems to be creating lag on my LG LCD (Non High Def) TV. When running through the RF lead works as well as you would expect it to, once I connected the scart though games etc started running choppy missing frames and becoming juddery is best way to describe it. Tried both scart sockets on the TV and both exactly the same, think I need to move it onto an old CRT and test again. They did send me another cable but it is exactly the same as the first. -
Omniflop does support the TI99/4A format so you have another option with that one, I use it for ST & Archimedes discs and it hasn't failed me yet. http://www.shlock.co.uk/Utils/OmniFlop/OmniFlop.htm Took a little working out writing the Arc disks, had to rename the .adf to .ads so it would write both sides of the disc but after doing that wrote everything I have thrown at it perfect.

The thing is when Ocean & Imagine released these isometric games on Spectrum and then C64 & Amstrad they did as little as possible with the conversion so it would have been exactly the same as the Spectrum version right down to the sound.
Take for example The Great Escape, C64 & Amstrad versions are the same down to monochrome visuals and Spectrum style sound.
Still really fine games though regardless.

#retrogaming Anyone got a PS2 guitar for Guitar Hero 1 & 2 they wouldn't mind sending my way?
-

I have had a look in the second hand shops round my area, loads of PS2 games but no hardware unfortunately, they do come up on eBay often but like you said it is the shipping as the wired guitars the fret boards don't disconnect making the item bulky. So putting the feelers out to see if anyone has a spare they wouldn't mind passing on before I go down the eBay route.
