kikipdph Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) I wanted to create a game that uses both the paddle and joystick, but the Stella emulator couldn't run it when I wrote the code in Batari Basic. 'Fatal error' is the message Stella displayed. I downloaded the Turbo Arcade Demo that uses a paddle, and Stella couldn't run it either. In both cases, it's a DPC+ game. I haven't tried other homebrew games; I tried Kaboom, and it works without any issues. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

xeex Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Stella doesn't auto detect the correct cartridge type for Turbo Arcade. (It chooses 3F.) If you manually change the cartridge type to CDF in Options>Game Properties after you see the error, Stella will launch it correctly. Perhaps you're having a similar issue with your game.

fluxit Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 You are correct. It was being detected as 3F. The type of the previous demo Turbo-Arcade_demo_v1_NTSC was detected correctly, Or was it in the included database? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, that helped for Turbo arcade, but not for me, and I found on the forum that Batari Basic DPC+ does not support paddle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
