walter_J64bit Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) chrislynn5 , I've just tried it with Atari800winPlus in NTSC mode with 128K it does seem to work with that, all I get is a green screen. Yes I think you need to do a 128KB dump. Edited January 5, 2012 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sorry about that, I've not been back to this thread for a few days. I would get the SIC Dump utility previously mentioned and dump it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 orpheuswaking , were you able to get one of the dumps to work? Do I need to create a 128KB dump? Thanx! I wish I could but doens't that requrire the input hardware for SIC. Or are you suggestingn that I use my MaxFlash hardware in conjunction with that utility? Is there an easier way to determine if the cartridge is PAL? I created a couple more dumps, maybe they can be used? barbarian_1MbitMaxflashdump.bin barbarian_8MbitMaxflashdump.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Sic Cartridge and dumpable with the program on this site called sicdump which is an Atari program just select 128k as the output dump.

+orpheuswaking Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Chris, The SIC is programmed and dumped in place, i.e. you plug the cart in and use SIO2PC to pull the contents... There is no special hardware for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Looks like the site is down maybe. I'll post the utility later and rough instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Now considering that I don't possess an XE machine, how does one flash/dump this then with a 800XL (noted in original post). Every example I've found shows XE machine. The cartridge is supposed to be XE/XL compatible. And I don't possess SIO2PC hardware (noted in post), outside of Maxflash device. It is my understanding those are not the same. So where exactly do I plug the cart in? Thanx orpheuswaking.

+orpheuswaking Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ah, well that's a different matter, I missed the part where you mentioned you don't have a sio2pc, my bad... As for the machine, just because they show XEs in the instructions it really doesn't matter, I use mine with a XL all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have a new laptop coming soon and maybe I'll invest this month in a SIOtoPC device. I realize I don't understand what the differences are in saved formats and the banks, but I thought maybe Atarimax Flash programmer could read those banks and copy them. Usually the Atarimax tells me when something is not right and it read each bank and dumped it without error. Oh well. Thanx for your help. I never invested before in SIC Carts since I had Atarimax carts. Plus the SIC cart is such a strange size and doesn't fit in 1200XL and 800/400.

+orpheuswaking Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Chris sent me the cart, it's definately a SIC!Cart with a laser printed label. the box cover and "manual" are also both laser printed. It does look pretty nice though. Initially I tried it on a 320k NTSC - worked no issues, so I then tried it on a 64k NTSC 600XL, I wasn't expecting much but to my suprise it worked fine. I also tried it on a PAL 65XE and 800XL (but didn't take pictures) - worked fine on both. Using SIC!Dump I got a working 128k dump that runs fine in Altirra as a SIC!Cart file. Here is the Dump!

Funny that it works on a range of machines but apparently not NTSC 800XL, per chrislynn5's experience. I'd love to have a Barbarian cartridge myself. I've read the play value could be better, but I like the theme, and does it ever look good! (However I do wish there were some splashes of color, say red or blue, to break up the "greenscale" or "yellowscale" or whatever it is.)

+orpheuswaking Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You know, like an idiot I didn't try this on a NTSC 800XL, I will give that a try in the AM and see if maybe it's something with your machine Chris, or if it is 800XL specific. I would do it now but I don't have a stock 800XL up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
