It survives the Reset Button pressed. All others after reset is pressed locks-up on screen #2 hydraulic lift. Plus you can use the easter egg cheat codes.

+JAC! Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 The!Cart Studio Update: 2019-11-04 Content type "Executable File" is now set automatically when executables files (COM,EXE,XEX) with a valid file structure are added. New content type "SAP Music File" has been added and is set automatically when Slight Atari Player files (SAP) with a valid file structure are added. These files will be supported directly by the menu in future. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Any Chance, that you update the Mac-app to 64Bit? This is on OS X.15.1 Catalina: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janzh Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi Peter, I cannot start any ATR menu entries since the update to The!Cart Studio 2019-11-04 00:17:37. If I choose an ATR entry then the Atari just boots from drive 1. Anny idea? CU Holger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Peter will fix it soon and I will check it out.... Bern 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JAC! Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Looks like the upload of the last build 2019-11-05 07:58:41 to the web site was not complete. I've re-uploaded it now. For those who have a backup, please test again. For those who are happy with their current content, please wait until the correct operation is confirmed again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JAC! Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Update: Tests have confirmed that now everything is back to normal and the latest version with automatic detection of the "XEX" content types works just fine. Thanks to Biobern and Holger for testing! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Incompatibility" is sweet. Actually, 32 Bit apps are not supported at all by OS X Catalina anymore. This is, why I currently also can´t run Altirra, as "wine" is not on 64 Bit right now. But the community is working on it, and maybe there are updates soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozar Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well, I've flashed my cart twice. After it is done, I try to use The!Cart, but the computer acts like the cart doesn't exist and I have to reflash the base image. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm going to put together a small workbook and try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you hold down the RESET button on The!Cart itself during Power-up? Do you see a rainbow effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try the reset button and let you know. Next will be to grab a stock machine and see what happens. ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JAC! Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The!Cart Studio Update 2019-11-26 released Columns "Title", "Genre", "File Path" and "File Name" are now sorted case-insensitively. Fixed file exception when adding "Goonies.atr", "ElektraGlide.atr", "Rampage.atr" and other ATR files. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JAC! Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The!Cart Studio Update 2019-11-24 released The tabbed display for the genres now only scrolls, if the select genre does not fit on the screen. This is what you'd expect from a tabbed visualization. The XEX loader now sets the BOOT? flag to $01, like a DOS would. This fixes problems with programs that rely on the XEX being loaded from a disk. This version contains the a new data format for storing the genres in on the Atari side. It is the pre-condition to make the favorites feature work in the next round. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my obviously biased advice would of course be "The!Cart" ... after all you are asking this in the "The!Cart" thread ?. With Sdrive max you have a very good SIO solution that can handle all disk stuff and quick testing. With The!Cart you have a almost 100% emulation of everthing else (ROM based stuff, but also ATR/XEX). A new run is planned to be available in Q1/2020. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
