  1. This makes sense. I always ever read AtariAge. I actually never cared if this was real life or purely academic. ... and always had a bag of good popcorn on my lap while watching its evolution on AtariAge. 😈
  2. I just had a quick look at its memory consumption using ? FRE(0) in BASIC. 21896 when SAM is loaded 32274 without SAM So it uses a little more than 10K of which the loaded code are 9607 bytes ($2000-$4586).
  3. Not that I support the destructive actions of XXL but to some defense comes that Candle for a long time ignored all remarks about these incompatibilities at all and only admitted them quite late in the storm (IIRC it was more than a year). I don't know XXL personally but being ignored with a problem will never lead to any positive attitude.
  4. LOL (or should I better write cry?), insecure because there are only links which are not understood by the artificial unintelligence of security software. But honestly: I guess that he put the image to his NTFS server and not any webserver.
  5. IMHO has this disk hardware-damage for protection. Can you please check the bottom side for any visual "things" and make a photo if you find something? I wouldn't expect it as intrusive as the first picture in this post but maybe like the second one. Perhaps some of the readers here know how to use the tool and could test in Altirra if the ATX works (which I do not expect): The Black Patch Master.scp.atx(must NOT be write-protected) And then please test if my quick and dirty crack works: Black Patch!, The v1.1 (1987)(Computer Software Services)(US)(Master Disk)[cr CSS].atr (must be write-protected)
  6. I am not sure if it was ever released on disk under this name. This is the same program with a different name: Koala Micro Illustrator, The (1983)(Koala Technologies)(US)[!].atx
  7. Waiting for the first BASIC 10-Liner entry in FastBasic on CP/M-65...
  8. This by itself does not disturb because the text is inside the range of the color bars. If you align all fields without a color bar to Chance's position, it will look balanced.
  9. This is already being worked out. Check Fujinet's homepage. The basic server exists and you can already play 5 Card Stud Poker and Reversi.
  10. Is there a reason why railway stations' and chests' texts are not top-aligned like utilities' and chances'? IMHO this looks somehow "unstable".
  11. Yes, from Altirra's .help: .writemem Write memory to disk Write a block of memory to a file on disk. .writemem <path> <xaddress> L<length> The address may use extended memory syntax, i.e. v:4000 for VBXE memory. Commands <xaddress> accept extended addresses: $0000 CPU view of primary memory $01:0000 CPU view, 65C816 high memory $EF'4000 CPU view, extended memory ($4000 with PORTB=$EF) n:$0000 ANTIC view of primary memory v:$00000 VBXE memory r:$0000 Main memory x:$00000 Extended memory t:$01'A000 Cartridge memory, banked view (bank $01, address $A000) Some commands support length syntax: db siov L100 db 4000 L>5FFF Commands taking <path> also accept ? to interactively select the file.
  12. Dogs always get all the treat.
  13. It does take the signals from GTIA. It only "abuses" the RCA jack of the TV out as its output port - after cutting off the output from the modulator.
  14. Open Altirra's debugger, press F8 to continue then drag the XEX to it.
  15. Disk 2 misses sector 28 which is needed right after the shooting splash screen. Fixed with data from the other set: Word Attack! (1983-1989)(Davidson)(US)(Side 2, Program)[disk][f].atx And btw. this whole release is different, not only the packaging. Inside a file it carries a release date of 03-27-87.
  16. Phaeron and ijor ask what drive you used to dump these sectors because it seemingly cannot have been a 1050. I guess that I should have given more attention to your mentioning of the Black Box. Best answer directly to that posting.
  17. Mostly clean: Three neded and several unneeded sectors close to the end are missing. Repaired using sectors from set #2: Jupiter Mission 1999 Disk 1[f].atx Not only AUTORUN.SYS was overwritten but the first half of the disk. Thus I cannot repair the disk. Black Rabbit seems to be a sector copier from ANALOG.
  18. While converting @SoulBuster's SCP image of Forms Generator (SCP is contained in the linked post's big ZIP file), a8rawconv 0.92 and 0.94 detect sector 12 on track 4 as a valid and good one while it does not even have any data block. We have two more flux-dumps from this company which show the same behaviour. Reading from the original disk followed by a SIO STATUS command DVSTAT returns $04 and DVSTAT+1 $BF. @ijor I completely failed in trying to provoke $BF with an ATX file and was only able to receive $CF, $DF or $EF. Found track 4, sector 12 at position 0.05 Decoded FM track 4, sector 12: 128 bytes, pos 0.049-0.084, DAM FB, CRC 2FB7 (OK)
  19. Yeah, this is what I had expected. ATX will support DD. ijor and phaeron are currently discussing details of its implementation. Since we already have two other dumps with the same problem, I do not expect a fresh dump to be much different. Can you please run the attached image against your physical floppy and return the resulting image to me? It will extract all sectors from track 4 plus each of sectors 84 and 85 two additional times. Take care not to accidentally overwrite your original disk. Dos25Extract 25th.atr Example run assuming you booted the ATR from D1 and put the physical Forms Generator disk in D2: (The program will also work with only one drive. It then asks to switch disks.)
