Rafagon Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Greetings, everyone! I'm having a difficult time getting Atari800MacX to work here on OS X 10.8.4. Is it even possible? I have the necessary ROMs, but they crash on me upon attempting startup. I've tried both ATARIOSB.ROM and ATARIXL.COM. Here is the error message I get with ATARIXL.COM: The Atari800MacX Emulator has detected an unrecoverable error. Please select ColdStart or WarmStart to attempt restart, Monitor to enter monitor, Eject to eject Cartridge or Boot Disk, or Quit to exit the emulator And here is the screen capture from the crash: Thank you in advance for any help you guys may be able to offer! -Rafagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 What a coincidence! I couldn't get it running today on my MBP. Also 10.8.4 I could start it, but it did not respond to cold or warm reset! Very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 For me it just works fine on MBP with X.8.4 PMd you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Strange... here it does not work. Screen output appears not to work. I rebooted the MAC, no effect yet. Only thing I know is that I recently updated JAVA to be able to run the MegaCart Studio program... but I do not expect Atari800Mac being related to a JAVA release.

Marius Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 To be more specific: it happens here as soon as i mount an ATR to D1: and then hit SHIFT + FN + F5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Resetting to default settings worked for me in the settings screen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+skr Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 To be more specific: it happens here as soon as i mount an ATR to D1: and then hit SHIFT + FN + F5. I can do that without problems. Which configuration is set in atari800macx´ prefs? Maybe your OS-file is corrupted somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hmm and now the issue is back again. This s*cks bigtime. OS roms are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafagon Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 For me it just works fine on MBP with X.8.4 PMd you. Thank you for your help, @skr! Issue is resolved! @Prowizard, make sure your .ROM files are residing in the appropriate subfolders of the Atari800MacX folder. That was my problem. After I saw skr's configuration screen, I realized I had to put my own ROMs there, not in any other folder of my choosing. -Rafagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using this emulator, with same setup for a long time, and 'suddenly' it does not work anymore. I'm really curious why. I think I'll install it again and do some disk util maintenance on OS X. Perhaps it helps. I hope it will work... thanks anyway for your help guys. Always nice! Greetz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
