drunkeneye Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 i have fixed several bugs, and consider it now to be RC1. it should be now 'winnable', and hopefully no crashes. - the load/save function possibly do not still work, am not sure how important that is, and could be nasty to get it right. - there is still no sound - the gfx would need a large overhaul, but i think i will only fix 2-3 pixel, and thats that. any help with testing or gfx/sfx is highly appreciated. mafia_PL.atr mafia_DE.atr mafia_EN.atr 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I am wondering that no-one has noticed, that the size of these ATR images is incorrect. There is no 183KBytes nor 185KBytes disksize on the A8 with real floppy drives. If I remember correctly, RespeQT reports 745 sectors DD or 734 sectors DD - but A8 offers only 720 sectors DD for true 180KBytes. I could copy the ATR images onto real disks with some sectors missing, but since XBIOS is located at the end of the images and these sectors are missing on real floppy disks, the disks do not even boot on my 1050 floppy drive. Hopefully you can correct this and create standard ATR images with a size of 180KB each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1153 sectors do not exist for disk sizes.) yes, quite strange, given that i provide an ATR and want it to add files, not recreate it. however, i see now that there is also the option to create a "standard" disk, option "-D". maybe this helps? the ATR is now the correct size in terms of bytes (=the same as the blank atr disk), and reads 587 sectors, 140732 bytes 120 free sectors, 30720 free bytes output.atr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_The Doctor__ Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) usually you can click REPORT on your post and ask to edit in the report, or tell them your fixes. The magic happens and then you either see it's fixed, or you can edit the post after they get to the report. Works the same for deletion (hiding of posts) As you can see both occurrences have come to fruition Edited September 13 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
