jchiar Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Ok, so I am about to make my multicart with v.2. Ive read the manual which is quite nice. ITs appears as simple as draggin the .bin files to the text file. But do all the carts need to be 8K roms (the same)? How do i know which ones are 8K vs 4K vs etc? Need some assistance with perhaps the fundamentals here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 A 4K multicart can contain 2K and 4K games. An 8K multicart can contain 2K, 4K and 8K games. The 8K can only be of type F8 bankswitching and cannot use extra RAM (the F8SC are not allowed). A 16K multicart can contain 2K, 4K and 16K games(no 8K). The 16K can only be type F6. A 32K multicart can contain 2K, 4K and 32K games(no 8K or 16K). The 32K can only be type F4. To determine the size change your folder to the list view (Apple-2) and look at the size. Note - this won't tell you if the cart uses extra RAM or a different bankswitching method than Atari used. You can check the Stella.pro file from an older version of Stella for that.

phaxda Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think I am too dumb to figure out the current program for the Mac--it just does not seem to recognize the cart. Count me among those eager for a GUI, though I know how real life goes! I just use my wife's PC for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiar Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 What are you having issues with ? Btw Spice, I've got the current seed and have Snow leopard installed. I just have to get the USB drivers for my Keyspan adapter installed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiar Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 nope, don't have Snow Leopard to test with. Ive got Snow Leopard and just realized krokcom is a powerpc binary. Any chances of getting a Universal Binary so it will work with Snow Leopard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I went to check into it and discovered I never installed Xcode when I got my new 15" MacBook Pro. I'm picking up Snow Leopard tomorrow, so I'll install Xcode then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chances of getting a Universal Binary so it will work with Snow Leopard? Yikes - that is bad news. Not about Krokcom, but that Snow Leopard means the end of PowerPC support (and presumably, binaries will soon be x86 only.) Guess it's time to upgrade the old iBook (even though it's still working great!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i didnt know Snow Leopard could run Power PC apps. I also didnt realize you could install support for rosetta with the custom install option for Snow. Anyhows, it appear to run under rosetta, but if you could still compile out an Intel binary, it would be great. Hate to say , but it appears Apples is EOL PowerPC stuff.

Count me among those eager for a GUI, though I know how real life goes! I just use my wife's PC for now... You still having issues? Any way here is how to verify your setup is correct: Install USB drivers from Keyspan. expand krokcom zip. Launch terminal Drag the krockcom executable to the terminal window. Enter to run.

+stephena Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm still trying to find time to get my GUI-based KrokCom software released. It's written for Qt toolkit, and already compiles in Linux and Windows. It works fine in Linux, but Windows needs more testing. Adding support for OSX shouldn't be too hard, but I just can't a chance to work on it. The code is available at http://krokcom.sf.net, but you need to use Subversion to check it out. And it doesn't yet support multi-cart, only single carts. I would say I could finish it in about a week, but I'm tied up with the next major release of Stella.

I may have to buy a used x86 first generation Mac. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
