Gio_16bits Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Im not sure what the problem is. I've installed the drivers correctly. I ran the auto setup wizard in APE. I tried loading up rainbow warrior but it gives me error line 12. I've tried loading up while holding the option key, but that just locks up the computer after it completes the transfer. I've tried playing MULE, but it keeps telling me to remove the cartridge even though I have nothing inserted in the cart slot. I thought it would have been as easy as loading up APE, selecting the game, and let it do its thing. but apparently that isn't the case...

+David_P Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 For MULE, try booting with OPTION pressed down. For Rainbow Warrior, what error number is it reporting? It's a BASIC program; the error might be a clue as to what the problem is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji-Man Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Maybe try the Translator and Rev. A BASIC if you are using XL or XE computer for Rainbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio_16bits Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Exactly what are the minimum ram requirements for rainbow warrior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi Gio, The issues you describe are not a fault or problem with your AtariMax Sio2PC interface! Programs that do NOT require basic: boot with option down. (In older Atari's users had to pull out the Basic Cartridge, but since that is built in atari XL/XE (not 1200XL IIRC) you can't simply pull basic out, so that's what the OPTION key does while booting. Programs that DO require basic: do not touch the option key. Perhaps you first should try a few other programs to get used to the process of booting and running software on your atari. In fact: it is actually quite the same as running software from a real floppy disk. (If you had those 2 games you mentioned on a real disk, you would probably get the same issues as you have now with APE) Please don't get scared from all this, you'll learn it fast enough...

Firedawg Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Tested all my M.U.L.E atr variants and all work fine using SIO2PC USB and my Atari 130ex. I have a Rainbow Walker, but no Rainbow Warrior (I think this is a ST title). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
