Atari ROM Hacks (AtariMax cart image)

Sounds like a cool title for a game. :thumbsup:

 

But, it should be Midnight Magic.

 

Also, here's something that was done last year: Joe Blade - NTSC

 

Note that, in the thread, both Joe Blade I & II get NTSC fixed by Xuel; and then I do some various font changes to Joe Blade I, after that.

Nice!

 

Actually I'm going to grab the ATR you just made and pull some of the xex files from it so I can build the AtariMax image. A few of the 16K ROM images (Miner 2049er and Moon Patrol hacks) are not supported (!) by the AtariMax cart, as well as the XE cart image for Mario Bros.

 

The xex loader built into AtariMax has problems loading the Bosconian game (I tried the 64K version). I get a title screen, hit the trigger button, then get a black screen and a hung system. It might be possible to tweak the settings to get the xex loader to work, if anyone has done this let me know. Otherwise I'll do some experimentation.

oops! LOL!

 

The name in the project was simply pinball.xex, I think.

 

Changing it in the folder now. Correction will appear when I revise the ATR.

 

Thanks for calling it to my attention.

Oh! I should have enclosed a ZIP of the XEXes!

 

Here you go.

There's an Atarimax compatible version of Bosconian final in the thread you posted.

 

Do you have a direct link to it? I believe the version I tried was the Atarimax compatible version but it did not work. However, I tried the NTSC version because I don't have PAL.

 

Update: Double-checked, and the file I used was "bosco64NtscMax.xex" which sounds like it is supposed to be compatible. Also tried the PAL version which also crashes past the title screen.

How about this "Mario Bros XE Arcade" XEX? It runs fine for me running it directly via UNO or SIO2SD but I cannot get it to work when I add it to an AtariMax compilation image on my Ultimate Cart. It would seem an approperiate addition to this project if someone can get it to run.

The XEX's loading is little odd:

The blue segment overwrites the green segment and then the red segments, if the AtariMax cart is not enabled/disabled correctly, overlap into the cart memory.

I'll put this onto a cart image and see what happens
[EDIT] Appears to be a stack problem as the title is using the stack memory for code reaching very far to the top of the stack.
What is happening here is that JSR calls and the start of the VBI (pushing the AXY registers to the stack) are trashing the loader.
Trying to determine of this is the cart's own XEX loader (possibly not resetting the stack pointer before it starts) or the games own code.
[EDIT2] OK, so solution is to open the entry within the MaxFlash Studio s/w and change the "EXE Loader Base Address" from $100 to elsewhere, e.g. $400 worked for me.

$2020-203A holds only text: fileversion by Homesoft

Since this data-segment or better the text does not get displayed on screen, it can be overwritten. And errm, Homesoft makes fileversions for disks/disk-images (180k disks/images), he cannot test every file if it also works from a flashcart.

 

Homesoft often uses the stack, so his fileversions cannot be run with a) floppy speeders that use $0100 (e.g. Turbo 1050, Hyper-XF, etc.) or b) Hias Hi-OS (Pokey divisor zero) or c) any packers that use page 1 (e.g. one of the two DJ-packers)...

Yes, $0400 works to get the Mario Bros EXE working for me.

 

I'm not having luck with getting Miner 2049er and Bosconian to run from the AtariMax cart. Miner 2049er just gives me a black screen with $0300, $0400 and $0700 as loader addresses. The same loader addresses for Bosconian got me as far as seeing the in-game "Bosconian" chunky text title screen, but then a black screen and a freeze.

 

I am likely to put out the AtariMax image soon without these two games, as I have limited time for trial/error with the loader settings.
