+SoulBuster Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Taskmaster (1987)(Rambit)(GB).atx I cannot figure out how to boot this. Without knowing how to boot it, I cannot tell if the ATR I made will boot without the bad sectors. Can someone from A8SP (or anyone for that matter) let me know how you booted it to get the screen shot? There is something out of the ordinary that allows it to boot. @Farb @DjayBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 Yes, BASIC disabled. Altirra has a D0:? I only show a D1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only show a D1: Typo What I did notice was that after playing with the program, Altirra crashed on restart, after that Altirra would not run at all no matter what I tried, somehow this program screwed something up. I ended up downloading a fresh version of Altirra and installing in a new directory, it then started working, really strange.

+SoulBuster Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 I figured out what it needs. Accurate Sector timing. And it is copy protected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SoulBuster Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 This Title has an OS-B requirement: Ten Little Robots (1983)(Unicorn Software)(US)[BASIC][OS-B][cr CSS].atr When I can, I try to remove this requirement. A lot of the time, replacing the Autorun.sys is all that is needed. This title hid the directory entries at sectors 352-354. I copied sector 352 to sector 361 so I could modify files in any DOS. Replaced the autorun.sys with a more modern version. Copied sector 361 back to sector 352. Zeroed out sector 361 (like it was before I started messing with it) Here is the results, NO OS-B REQUIRED.

You should also be able to do this in ATR Tools which allows you to redirect VTOC and directory sectors under "Options -> Define FMS Sectors". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
