AHA Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 hello, i bought one of these and its excellent! The reason i started this thread was to drop a few games for other users to get started with as i found it really hard to find the right .car & .rom files, also it would be nice to get other opinions, ive been playing with mine all day and its performed faultlessly, i also hacked an old cart shell into shape so it now has a home (feel happy handling it now) just waiting to get some sooper glue and then it on with the label!

AHA Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) hi just to let you know you can build your own cartridge images (.car) using the atarimax program - maxflash catrridge software - this makes the job so easy!

Guest Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 this thread is a really good idea. maybe as people do their conversions/compilations etc we can drop them into this thread and build up a nice big car/rom collection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHA Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 well i tested it briefly on my atari 800 and it fitted and worked, must mention that the sponge on the lid of the cart bay dissolved long ago so ive just got the plate stuck to the lid.

billysastard Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 thank you so much for these, i was having a real problem finding working .car files, my ultimate cart is sitting unused as i've been busy on real world matters but the html converter wont save for me and the java one was way over my head.

madhatter667 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks for linking the archives. That saves me of the learning curve to this. I've got a lot of 8 bit ROMs, but a lot of them are .atr, some are Atarimax files, etc. I don't think any of them have the plain .rom extension. I could still fit every single one on a 2Gb card. The "Best Games Pack: I downloaded off a different thread is pretty good, but takes a lot more space. Haven't checked the file extensions on those... just been playing it. Lol.

Frankie Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Am I the only one who just filled it with .xex files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter667 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Are .Xex the XE revisions out games? This is a format I've not seen before. I've only just started messing with A8 emulation, with most gaming being done on hardware and carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Are .Xex the XE revisions out games? This is a format I've not seen before. I've only just started messing with A8 emulation, with most gaming being done on hardware and carts. The *.xex files are executable files. These are simply the standard Atari *.com or *.exe files, renamed to *.xex, to avoid confusion with PC *.exe files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhatter667 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) So, I have a number of 8 bit ROMs, Is there a known complete A8 ROM set for the Ultimate? I grabbed the files linked here, but I also have the Atarimax EXE Archive (which if I understand right, the EXE files will work on the UC)? I also have the A8 Best Game Pack, which, while zipped files, could be unzipped to a different folder, and I have the Vjetnam archive of games. I'm super new to using anything other than original hardware and software... can you run an Atari floppy disk image (what is that, an .ATR?) off the Ultimate, or is that the territory of the SIO2SD only? Anyone know where to find archives of A8 floppies? I cut my teeth on the 2600, but like the 8 bit stuff more.

Roydea6 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 the A8 Best Game Pack is about 90% ATRs Mostly used with and SIO2PC device like the SIO2SD, RESPEQT, etc.. As for other floppy archives AtariPL Online is the best, but the Vjetnam archive is good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hmm... I am going to try and make sure to use actual rom dumps and then .car header them.... then the Ult SD cart will really shine and show off what it can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
