Allas Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Still, hasnt been converted the Cartridge into ATR format. Only you will find .ROM images for emulator from Commando game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 (edited) Still, hasnt been converted the Cartridge into ATR format. Only you will find .ROM images for emulator from Commando game. Okay anyone have a rom link then? Will it work with Atari800 emulator? Wait a minute, I just thought of something... I had this game as a pirated file back in the day! I know for a fact I didnt have the cartridge, so I dont see why it wouldnt be on ATR? Still Ill take what I can get if someone has the .rom please send me a attached file or link. thanks kevin Edited September 6, 2006 by kevin242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 can the rom be converted to a disk??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Why not? Only half of 512 kbytes of this ROM is filled. After converting to .com file it may run on any machine with 256+ kB onboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 As Fandal said in another post.. there is a lot of work to convert theses type of Cartridges like Commando. Better play the ROM in the emulator. You can get this ROM or another in atari.online.pl Good luck and find the secrets chambers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I believe the BIN file was posted on these forums a year or two ago. Do a search and you should be able to find it. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Okay anyone have a rom link then? http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=1153 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin242 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Share Posted September 7, 2006 Okay anyone have a rom link then? http://www.atarimania.com/detail_soft.php?...VERSION_ID=1153 Thanks for the link. Im playing it now. How was it I was able to download and play this game on my unmodified 130xe back in the day and yet it is now deemed difficult to convert to ATR?

kevin242 Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Okay to follow up my question "how did I have a pirated versin of this game so many years ago..." I think I was remembering a game called SWAT. Now a question to anyone that knows Commando. How do you throw grenades? Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Does not exist an ATR Commando version, and its very difficult to create a ATR version. Better, buy the original cartridge or buy the MyIDE-FLash cart to get working the ROM image in the real hardware. You can find SWAT in the same web places before written. For throwing grenades in Commando you need to press button and pull down the stick at the same time. If you throw a grenade just behind the bridge at the wall left side of the entrance, you'll open a secret passage. Enter, and you should rescue the prissoners in the secret chamber. Command is an excelent version, you have 6 original arcade levels, secret chambers, the initial helicopter animation, the animation between levels, a nice intro, everything we could expect from our Atari.

accousticguitar Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 How do you throw grenades in swat, and how do you get past the barricade at the end of the street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) You can play Commando (and other XEGS bankswitching cart romfiles) off the S/XEGS RAMcart by Raster and Bob!k too. Cool device, for small bucks to build. Edited August 22, 2007 by Beetle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Since we're on the subject, is there any way to play the rom from the Maxflash or MyIDE/flash devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 No way until now. Flashcart have another format bank specification, so its incompatible with XEGS cartridge format. If you don't buy the cartridge, you can download the ROM and use in a emulator. Maybe in the future Fandal converts this ROM to a playable file, but i guess this will use extended memory (10XE with 256K) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 No way until now. Flashcart have another format bank specification, so its incompatible with XEGS cartridge format. Yeah, that's what I figured. Bummer, I'd like to play it on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't buy the cartridge, you can download the ROM and use in a emulator. I looked at converting it to Maxflash format, but it was beyond me. Maybe Fandal could do it, but I'm sure he would just make it run on a 128K machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I hope that someone will convert this wonderful game to .atr format for 128KB machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
