daznic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hiya all, Just got my SIO2PC cable , amazingly fast delivery from U.S to U.K !! Anyway, I`ve got the full Tosec collection of games, but out of 20 or so I`ve tried about half of them do not load, the load stops part the way through or loads every sector then hangs with garbage on the screen. Also one of my Favs - Jumpman displays a prompt to " Please remove all cartridges ", then will not load any further. Any advice for me ? Cheers !

candle Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 this might be a bit too obvious, even considered offensive... but... did You press the OPTION key at power up of Your Atari?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznic Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi , Please don`t be afraid of obvious suggestions, I am a total nood, I`ve only had my Atari 1 week ! So all I am doing is loading the image into ape, them turning on the Atari - what is the purpose of holding down the option button ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboot Jack Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I suspect you mean noob, but respect you may mean undressed Holding OPTION disables the basic ROM - 99% of games require the machine to have no cart (on XL/XE you need to think of in ROM as a cart) when booted up... So holding down option disables the built in basic basic so the machine appears to be without cart - and then the game will load... sTeVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznic Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Ahh right, now it all makes sense ! Oh and yes I meant Noob, not Nood ! since my " Games Den " is out in the cold converted garage Nood might not be a good idea !! Thanks again !!
