Heaven/TQA Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 As started to play around with Amiga OCS coding with a dev chain consisting of VAsm, notepad++ and Winuae I have to say (and I told everybody at Revisiob party) that the combination of MADS, WUDSN IDE plus Altirra is unbeaten in retro coding scene. Try to code for other machines (except PC) and you realise that the Atari 8bitbscene is far away of the pack since peter dell and Avery and tebe combined strength!

I know I'm more apprehensive to ask questions because I don't want to come across negative or disrespectful. Yes. I want it to be understood that whatever my apparent tone is; it is always supposed to be viewed as one of a suggestive nature like when asking for new features or changes. Never a demanding one.

Make it worse. http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.70-test8.zip http://www.virtualdub.org/beta/Altirra-2.70-test8-src.zip Tweaks to ATOS S: driver for better compatibility with the XL/XE OS when drawing lines in GR.0 (which people actually do, and which has really weird behavior). Fix for recent regression in debugger that screwed up symbol lookups in the expression evaluator. Fix for a crash in the cartridge code with the MegaCart 1MB (2) mapper that I found by accident. Fix for not being able to drag and drop from the 7-Zip File Manager, which rejects drag requests that use the move cursor. 7zFM always uses a temp file, though, which is not great -- I may need to detect this and force virtual disk mode in that case. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/236488-altirra-260-released/page/5/#findComment-3217643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMontezuma Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Sorry, not interested. No problem. I have realized, that the "direct" layout in Altirra does exactly want I need However the keyboard layout in Windows has to be set to "US" (before I tested with german layout "DE" and the kay mapping didn't have much sense). I wondered about "Enable Function Keys". How can I access the keys: "HELP","SELECT","START","OPTION" if this feature is enabled?

morelenmir Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) MANY thanks for this Avery!!! I keep meaning to get back in to A8 and assembler and this might just give me the excuse As yet I have not looked at the v2.7 betas. However I will give this stable release a good going over and report anything I find not working or a bit flaky. One thing I really do want to thank you for specifically is the addition of the "DSDD" preset category in the blank disk creator wizard. That is very nice indeed. I may have more to say about that later along with a feature suggestion. For now I am going to run Altirra through its paces making virtual cartridges with the new Spartados v4.47 and so on. On an interesting note, it could be a random thing; just as I am writing this I have the SDX cartridge-writer working in Altirra to flash an 8mbit maxflash virtual cartridge. I am running without the SIO speed-up patch, so it is reading the disk *.ATR at the speed it would in reality and I have the 'disk sound' option selected for ultimate authenticity! However, the disk sound has suddenly stopped. Yet the beeping and the counters show Altirra is still reading and flashing... Perhaps something to look at or maybe a one off? I will try with the different flashers/disk images and report back.

morelenmir Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I am going to post this separately as it may well be a genuine bug. I have 'R-Time 8' selected in the swish new 'Devices' dialogue interface. However my newly flashed "1M (8mbit) MaxFlash Cartridge (newer - bank 0)" version of "SDX 4.47 reports "R-Time 8 Not Present" on boot-up. This is not a problem only present with v4.47 as the same thing happens with versions 4.46 and 4.45. Another update to this. If I then go on to create a new virtual cartridge of the "Empty SIC! Flash Cartridge" type with "SSF39SF040" selected as the flash chip type and flash it with the appropriate SDX 4.47 flasher; no warning about "R-Time 8" being missing is given.

I wonder why I never encountered that in the past when I have been playing with SDX? Weird! I am pretty sure that will be problem solved, but I will test it out by writing the SIDE1 firmware from the SDX 4.47 flashers and report back.

phaeron Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 This is my recreation in Blender of what having an R-Time 8 and a MaxFlash cartridge in an Atari would look like: There's only one standard slot in an Atari -- you can't have two left carts in it if neither has a pass-through without a hardware mod involving either a soldering iron or a hammer. Are there any special steps required to set up MIO, other than attaching the MIO device, then a hard disk, then setting up the firmware? Select+Reset isn't doing anything. Nope, that should do it. One possibility is that the dump you have isn't in the order that Altirra is expecting -- attached is a dump that I use.
