Is the sdrive-max plugged directly into the 600xl? I've noticed that sometimes peripherals interfere with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Yes it is and there are no other problems with loading stuff so that's not it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I was going to try some testing on various devices, including SDRIVE-MAX, last night but sometimes these things are impossible with a toddler in the house who doesn't want to sleep. I'll see if I have any better luck tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faicuai Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes it is and there are no other problems with loading stuff so that's not it. Tested on 800 / Incognito: Transfer the executable to a SDX directory on SIDE"s HD partition, and load with X command. Even on Collen mode + Axlon emulation works in same way. Anything else DOES NOT WORK / LOAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodByteXL Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Tested on 800 / Incognito: Transfer the executable to a SDX directory on SIDE"s HD partition, and load with X command. Even on Collen mode + Axlon emulation works in same way. Anything else DOES NOT WORK / LOAD. It seems there is a issue with the used hardware. The XEX-file boots fine with RespeQt from SIO2PC-USB, loads from a SDX hard drive and also from a game-menu disk on RespeQt and from a real disk drive. mspac.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a minute to be able to test this morning! (Well, maybe five.) I am seeing the exact same issue of a correct title screen and then loading to black when trying to load the XEX via SDRIVE-MAX (v0.9) on my NTSC U1MB 800XL. The XEX loades fine via SIO2PC, Ultimate Cartridge, and UNO Cart on the same machine. Unfortunately I was unable to do any further testing this morning because toddler issues popped up again. I would like to give GoodByteXL's attached ATR a try on the SDRIVE later if possible to see if it produces a different result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It loads a bit "strangely"....I mean loading sounds are different from usual Hi-speed SIO....but I don't mind as long as it works. Has this been optimized for PAL ? I just played with NTSC ANTIC and colors look a bit washed out on the red ghost and the speed seems to be a little too fast compared to arcade....then again....it has been some time since I sold my Ms.Pac Man machine......

Level42 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Ohh geez, Just switched to PAL ANTIC and....now about everything looks pink The speed is closer to the arcade version as I remember it though.... Is there some GTIA version checking/adjusting going on in this version of Ms.Pac ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Has this been optimized for PAL ? Not yet. I just played with NTSC ANTIC and colors look a bit washed out on the red ghost I haven't made any color changes yet. and the speed seems to be a little too fast compared to arcade... Tep392 was the only one that made any adjustments to the speed so far. From what I remember, he only adjusted the speed of Ms. Pac herself. But he may have made other adjustments too. I'll have to check and see what's in the notes/tables he sent me. Edited October 17, 2018 by MrFish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) If using sdrive max atx, use atr not xex, so put xex on disk and then disk in slot. for AVG if it does not load as an xex try to use AVG SideLoader to load the xex if no got try and atr.

Thanks... it does have some issues on some displays, as it uses a false background, and I didn't have any PMG's left to mask off the background on the far-left side. I was going to attempt a new version without using false background; but a better idea (now) would be to run it through RastaConverter and see if that will nail it. RastaConverter wasn't around back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
