Any luck with this .ZIP file for disk read?

Having this book + cassette as a kid, I was hoping I could load this in js99er. No luck. It treats it as one file.

Is there a Win32 app TI emulator that will work better? I wanna try this out.

Have you tried only loading one disk?

I put DSK side 1 in DSK1 and DSK side 2 in DSK 2 using classic99. I was able to ruin and play OLD DSK1.DUNGEON and OLD DSK2.DUNGEON - they appeared to be the same game. In TI99DIR I took a look at both dsk files and they contain the same contents. Only of differing sizes. I don't know if they can be merged and produce a different result. Dungeon was like playing tunnels of doom in text mode only. That's about all I have to say about that.

You need to unzip the file. JS99er can open disk images or zip files of individual files, but it cannot open zip files of disk images.

Oh, I see what he was trying to do. Now it makes sense. Yes the files have to be extracted, then the disk images appointed to slots to be utilized.

I did unzip the file, which gave me a .DSK file, but JS99er didn't know what to do with it when I mounted it on DSK1. It came out as 1 big file instead of a bunch of individual files. ALso tried the pc99 version to no avail.

in classic99 put side one.dsk in dsk1 and side two.dsk in dsk2.

You can open each one in TI99DIR to see program names to load.See my post above - http://atariage.com/forums/topic/270157-any-luck-with-this-zip-file-for-disk-read/?do=findComment&comment=3851344

I don't know, it's working fine for me to open the individual disk images in js99er.

On JS99er, Press "Software" and choose "TI Extended Basic"

 

Then press "Open Disk/File" and point to the 1st .DSK-File

Then click "Insert to a drive" and insert to DSK1.

Same for the 2nd file/DSK2

 

Press "2" to go to Extended Basic

Enter OLD DSK1.GUNNER

RUN

 

Works for me.
