I was using downloaded ROMs. I'm using Altirra 4.10 (which i think is the latest). I switched ROMs from my downloaded Atari 400/800 OS-B ROM to to the built-in AltirraOS 3.34 for 400/800 and now the program loads. Thanks.

_The Doctor__ Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 hmmm OS-b patched... definitely needed something other than that. Glad it worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 I really never thought about it. The ROMs I am using are from TOSEC. What is the source for the best ROMs to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics, dumps, pdfs and anything else that belongs with a dump. In addition, I have changed hardware that I am using Disk Drive: TEAC FD-55GFR. All new (or updated) DISK dumps are on this drive. Any DISK dumps before this post were on a Panasonic JU-475. The Panasonic failed on the disk Slime. I tried Slime again on the new drive and still, all 720 sectors are "unformatted". So I guess the drive just failed and not failed because of the Slime disk. Cartridge: MaxFlash from AtariMax Cassette: Generic Cassette to MP3 Player and record with Audacity Scanner: Canon MF488DW So let the new titles begin!!! Excellent !!! All this in one .zip will help preserve your work. Thanks for doing this. Don't forget about any/all of your text comments that are often within each post. Grab those too and store in the .zip.

800_Rocks Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I am a big ANALOG Computing Magazine fan so when SoulBuster took the time to create/preserve all of the type-in content from issues #01-#32 (which did not originally have diskettes available) I decided to do my part by gathering all of the metadata that SoulBuster created and add the content as a .PDF file inserted into his original .ZIP files (one per issue). I used LibreOffice Ver 7.4.4.2 (x64) to create the .PDF files. The original .ODT files are in a sub-directory called: Original .ODT files SoulBuster included many screen shot images and much valuable commentary within each thread post. I have tried to capture all of it in for each issue. I may have made a dozen or so obvious typo fixes but otherwise tried to leave all content just as it was found in the thread. All content pulled from SoulBuster's content posted in this thread. This 16MB .zip file is also a good way to save you from downloading all 32 .ZIP files separately. @SoulBuster maybe a link to this .zip belongs on the first post? Thanks for your hard work on all this!!

Mclaneinc Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) This Ricochet is a strange one, I could only get it to load on a machine with the CIO patched for speed and under an 800 OSB patched ver. Cload and then run.. If ran at normal cassette speed then it would the nearest I could get it to work was on XL mode Basic B but when it got to the bit where you enter numbers it forced a crash. Also on normal speed it brought up different error messages, sometimes error 21 meaning it thought it was normal code and not basic, or error 143 and 19 iirc.

firebottle Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Soulbuster, the reason Ricochet works is because you have the cassette SIO patch selected in acceleration. I can make it work that way even in Altirra 2.50... Without it selected, I get a bunch of weird noises about 30-36 seconds into loading, depending on the version of Altirra, I tried cropping your wav file (lead-in and data only) and then redid the cas file. Without the SIO patch, it will load four blocks before a error-143 at line 0 happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated this with single pass recording that I only modified by clipping noise off the ends. I do not know what I was thinking on that previous set. I still cannot make a CAS for it, but then again, there should not be one when second audio is used.
