Apkalus Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hi to all, I need to understand why some softwares in .ATR images are not loading correctly from the MicroSD Card with Fujinet, I have an Atari 800XL with the Ultimate 1MB and the PIA COVOX, my Fujinet is 1.0, it is updated with the latest firmware and have a MicroSD of 16GB. Maybe you think that maybe this upgrade is creating a compatibility issues, but no, I have a 130XE and a 64XE in perfect condition and I've got the same problem, loading with errors, look at these examples: AlleyCat: Chaos Music Composer: I think Fujinet is awesome but this is so weird because the softwares that are not loading are so specific, I tried to load the same softwares with an SDrive Max and works great. Can you give me some advice to fix this problem? Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And yes, before you ask, the SDrive-Max firmware automatically disables BASIC by default. Something I didn't think important, especially because I do this reflexively by default, unless I need BASIC.) -Thom Edited February 6, 2021 by tschak909 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I am too, I am starting to think a disable basic program should run and ask the user to press reset to boot the next ATR! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I actually press the option button to disable basic... Maybe if I keep the option button pressed more time will solve this problem? I'll try that right now. Thanks again!

Yup, when the option is pressed in CONFIG, a cold boot happens. Keeping it pressed until you can see a blue screen again is enough time to disable BASIC. -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a great idea!! Thom's suggestion did the trick, I was pressing the Option button only for one second and of course that wasn't enough to disable Basic... Well, problem solved, thank you Thom, The Doctor! The system works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Press and hold option until blue screen sounds like the best advise. nice. I will revise my hold option until it boots to include that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
