I think that is not a bad idea. Maybe link back to this post in case anyone wants more information?

I think it would be helpful if you were to post it. Perhaps someone smarter than me can patch it to at least work with the original disk so it doesn't need to be flipped. That would be a huge improvement! Thanks, everyone for the amazing responses!

@skrNice custom graphic. Did you use that for disk labels?

I'd love to see what you did with that. When you did that, did it work without flipping the disk?

Using Print Shop is kind of a pain because of flipping the disks all the time (especially with the add-on disks). Has anyone modified it to run on one "virtual" floppy? (Or at least to have the original The Print Shop sides A and B fit on one side of a single double-density floppy? Thanks! -Todd

I just entered the path to my ROM folder in the otherwise empty scan for rooms box and it found them all.

This is AWESOME! I was having issues with my Mac and decided to do a fresh install last night. I had been holding off on Catalina because of Wine, but just decided if I was going to build from scratch, it should be Catalina. Then, today, I pop in here and read this thread, now I have Altirra running under Wine on Catalina! Thanks!

Yep. I actually wrote a paper about Pele in middle school? (I think? I was probably 12 or 13, which would have been around 1980). I think I still remember his full name. Someone check me on this, I did not google this: Edson Arantes DeNacimento. Did I get it right? And when this game came out, I bought it as soon as I could. I lived in Ohio in the US. I played soccer, but was better at sitting in front of a keyboard than dribbling a soccer ball. Also, of course this game was geared toward North America, it has the word Soccer in the title. ?

So. Not to be morbid or anything, but none of us are exactly young and many of us have experienced "serious health problems". What happens when you die? And if that approach doesn't work for you, how much to buy both of you out? Seriously. Name a price and we can start from there.

This. Karateka keyboard was the only way to play. I first played it on an Apple at school that didn't have a keyboard and it was great.

Red shag carpet? Check. Dark wood paneling? Check. Latch hook rug? (Both working on one and one hanging on the wall.) Check and Check. Giant, complicated antenna with plastic base? Check. Wood grained, plastic TV? Check. Yes. This is an AUTHENTIC picture from BITD!

Not really. DOS 3 never really caught on, so I doubt there is much out there that is compatible with it. I was always partial to myDos. It will likely read any .ATR you mount in Respeqt, but if the disk is a double-density disk, the 1050 will not be able to write it. .atx files have copy protection built into them, so if they even work with Respeqt, you will not be able to use them when written to the 1050. But, really for copying like this, you probaby don't want to use DOS. Better to use a disk copy program. Here are some disk copy programs:

DOS 3 has a different format. Try dos 2.5.

Respeqt is acting as (one ore more) disk drives. In the Atari world, disk drives don't see each other. The computer sees them. When data is copied from one drive to another, the computer tells Drive 1, read byte and then tells drive 2 to write the byte that it just read. Since the Atari is doing all the work, and Respeqt just looks like drives, the Atari will copy from one to the other as if they were real drives. Short answer: Yes, respeqt can be drive 1, the 1050 can be drive 2 and you can move files back and forth in either direction.

To make the 1050 Drive 2, use the drive select switches on the back. It looks like one switch, but there is a black and a white switch stacked together. Here is a key: Yes, you can create real disks. And you aren't limited to DOS you have on floppy. You can download any DOS you want and boot from it using the USB2SIO. Once booted, put a disk in the real drive, format it and write DOS to it. (Or whatever else you want.)

Sorry, that song is terrible. I'm not sure cleaning it up will help.

Me TOO! Weird. Mine was on an 800, but still cassette and everything. (I bought the 800, couldn't also afford a drive!) I played the heck out of that game. Of course, once you waited all that time to load it, you HAD to play a good long time!

I do agree. I am tired of reading these posts. Please stop.

SDRive Max Case Tweaks-3.stl

Switch on the front, no hole. Copy of SDRive Max Case Tweaks.stl

No Switch SDRive Max Case Tweaks-2.stl

No hole. SDRive Max Case Tweaks.stl

The hole and the location of the switch. Would you like me to remove the hole?

This is why I posted my last disclaimer. For the switch, you could hot glue it in place. But, without actually printing it and then trying to fit the arduino and screen in there, you cannot be sure there will be room for the switch. Same with the SIO hole, that location may not work depending on where the other arduino and screen components are. These are 5-minute tweaks, not proven solutions.

Sorry, one other thing. I have not printed any of these and made sure they work. If you decide to pay someone to print it, know that it may not work and you will have to have it tweaked and printed again.
