Harry Potter Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hi! I have a version of the Atari LiteDOS SE on a Windows 11 64-bit laptop and want to target it with my text adventure codes, as it is very small. The high-end version is currently very buggy, but I'm trying to fix the bugs. Right now, I want to be able to write to and edit LiteDOS-format disk images from both a GUI and the command-line. How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Examples of what you've tried so far perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 I've tried nothing so far, but I have Franny and Dir2Atr but don't know how to use them for LiteDOS SE-format disk images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Short of writing something yourself, you would need to use one of LiteDOS recognised filesystems i.e. DOS 2.5 then copy the files using LiteDOS copy utility, nothing I've seen will read LiteDOS images. The wonderful https://github.com/pvbestinfoo/Atari_8-Bit_Rom_Image_File_Explorer will read the contents, but unfortunately it won't write files to the image.

Harry Potter Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Thank you. I guess my choices are limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) @Harry PotterATRTools 030a.zip Just remembered ATR Tools Chrome refused to let me download this .zip as there is a .exe inside, you can turn off the protection temporarily in Chrome if you get this problem. Just open an ATR image. You can drag/drop files onto the open image, if you right click a file on an open image, you can export the file. Hope this helps. Edit: I have scanned the file with my Anti-Virus and it says it's OK. Edited February 12 by TGB1718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 Thank you. I'd better Google it, but I also want to add files to a disk image from a batch file, as I use them to compile cc65 code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 @Harry Potter I think the best you're going to get is do what I do with Altirra, mount a folder as a virtual DOS 2.0 disk (I use D4:) then in you're cc65 build, do a copy to the mounted folder Similar to this on a successful build:- copy temp.xex C:\Users\baile\Desktop\"Altirra XEX\" Once there, assuming you have D1: or D2: as a mounted LitsDOS .ATR, you can simply copy the files from D4: to your disk image.

Harry Potter Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 I don't think all that's worth the trouble: I'll just do what I've been doing and use Dir2Atr and DOS 2.5. Thank you, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
