rdhays82604 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) when i run it i got the following error message 'Directdraw does not support the graphics display mode. Try running with ".blt" or "width640" on the command line' What i want to know is how do i get it to work I assume you are using the emulator from sourceforge.net - atari800.exe? You need to create a batch file to include the command line options. drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -blt or drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -width 640 if the batch file is in the same folder as the emulator then you can eliminate the drive and path names and just use: atari800 -blt or -width 640 to start the emulator using a specified disk like an atr file use- drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -blt "drive:/path to file/filename.ext" or drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -width 640 "drive:/path to file/filename.ext" Again eliminating the drive and path names to the emulator if the batch file is in the same folder as the emulator. hope this helps!
