Joe Stella Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Oh, this is interesting. Don't know the validity, but I\m reading the Jag version is an adaptation of the source code from the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Did the St's Gauntlet get Deeper Dungeons like the A8's Gauntlet?Yes. My copy of Gauntlet for the ST has the Deeper Dungeons expansion. Not sure if there was ever a stand alone copy of Deeper Dungeons for the ST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yes. My copy of Gauntlet for the ST has the Deeper Dungeons expansion.

Major Havoc 2049 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Cool. Can you create an image of the expansion? I've never made an image of one of my ST games before. I've only downloaded ST software from my PC to 3.5" floppy to use on my ST, but not the other way around. Point me in the direction of the software I would need and I can look into it.

You can use Floimg to image a floppy as well as create a floppy from an image, Thanks! http://atari.8bitchip.info/floimgd.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 False alarm! I just bought this game on ebay not that long ago and hadn't even booted it up yet. Took a closer look at the back of the box and read the fine print. Sorry, Official Ninja. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiliteZoner Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 which version of Gauntlet II for the ST came with the printer port adapter for multiplayer? Is anyone selling adapters for this purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also do an image on your Atari computer using Magic Shadow Archiver. It should allow you to create an MSA file on another floppy disk which was formatted on a PC computer. You should then be able to get the MSA on your PC and open it in an emulator to test it works. Here is a link to the MSA tool: https://sites.google.com/site/stessential/disks-tools/msa If you get a working MSA then I would be interested in a copy of it. Of course, if the disk has any form or fancy protections on it then creating an MSA image of the disk may not work. You may also need to look at creating an STX Pasti image of the disk using the Pasti toolkit from here: http://pasti.fxatari.com/ The trick is to store the MSA or STX image file on a IBM formatted floppy disk which can then be read on a PC and opened in emulators or shared with others. If the STX image turns out to be larger than 720kb though it will not fit on a floppy disk. To load an STX disk image in an emulator your will the pasti.dll in the same folder as the emulator executable file. If you have a working copy of Arcade Force Four then Atarimania.com would be interested in getting the STX images as they don't have them at the moment. I can upload to their FTP if you get working STX or MSA copies of the disks. Edited May 13, 2015 by kodak80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsunnyboy Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I remember trying a modern version of an Amiga parallel port joystick adapter with Gauntlet 2 on the ST and it did not work correctly. I'm not sure the adapters are really interchangable through the systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thought the original commercial versions were interchangeable between the ST and the Amiga. I could see that. The version i made was simply ground to various data pins. Anyone could pin this out themselves by shorting ground to data 1...n and seeing how the character reacts on screen.

I'm not sure the adapters are really interchangable through the systems? Why wouldn't it work? Doesn't the Amiga handle joysticks the same was as the ST? Kinda like the C64 and Atari 8-bits. Then again, an Amiga fan was telling me last month it could support 2-fire button joysticks standard but for some reason, game programmers didn't support it.

Joe Stella Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 This is for players 3 and 4. It's a parallel port to 2x DB9 joystick adapter. Completely dumb device, no logic at all, just direct connects.

Completely dumb device, no logic at all, just direct connects. Yes this is direct wiring - and the adapter wiring on the Amiga might be different than on the ST. I am sure that it did not work, we wanted to have a 4 player match on one of our retogaming meetings. It did not work, same with Leatherneck IIRC.

Joe Stella Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Wish I had a machine handy, I'd pin it out for you guys. Came across a couple of online sellers offering it for reasonable money, that might be the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, which is the same thing that was marketed to ST owners for games such as Gauntlet II and Leatherneck before it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 That's me. Do you have any questions? Nope. Just that you can vouch that making such an adapter isn't too difficult and like with the "Amiga" version, it's simply a Parallel cable to 2 DB-9s.

Then again, an Amiga fan was telling me last month it could support 2-fire button joysticks standard but for some reason, game programmers didn't support it. Not supporting the second button and not checking for additional disk drives. Those two are my main pet peeves. Even some of the bigger studios managed to fail miserably at doing those two simple things. Kind of like unskippable content in modern games... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one typo in the pinouts listed in a message #42. There is no pin 26 since the parallel port only has 25 pins. Pin 26 is the ground pin so it should be connected to any of the multiple ground pins. I think I connected mine to pin 24 on my adapter, but I can't verify since I don't have it with me right now.
