tschak909 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Savetz - dude, wow, you found the Atari version of MicroChess. Insanely rare, and also insanely early. This title absolutely REQUIRES OS-A, no exception. -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Softside Side A does indeed seem to be bad, tried multiple setups and all crash out... But thank you so much Kevin, yet another wonderful set of additions, you sir, are a Hero... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Could someone with real hardware check Kevins dumps, apart from a couple of CLOAD'ers there seems to be many that are broken, I've tried multiple variations, got the Chess working, Page Flipping, IRIDIS as well, the Avalon game sounds wrong, way too high but not a turbo tape. Altirra is fine but I've been playing with the profiles part and made a few silly errors and screwed up the odd profile...They should be fine now but I just want to be sure..

Farb Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 But thank you so much Kevin, yet another wonderful set of additions, you sir, are a Hero... Agreed, these are great. Thanks Kevin! Could someone with real hardware check Kevins dumps, apart from a couple of CLOAD'ers there seems to be many that are broken... There are in our processing queue and will hopefully be analyzed soon.

Mclaneinc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Agreed, these are great. Thanks Kevin! There are in our processing queue and will hopefully be analyzed soon. Thanks, btw, the Avalon Hill game is ok, I didn't at the time notice that I was trying to load a TRS80 / Apple version of the game (no wonder it sounded odd) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Got all of them going in the end, things like Lunar Lander has un-needed audio data / random noise at the start which throws it, if you get to the next bit of the cas and CLOAD from there it works fine, basically some need a clean up or Need OSA, NTSC or are CLOADs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Kevin, WOW, what should I write, what I haven't written before? That is soooo fantastic, if the year starts that big, what else can come up to the light? Thank you sooo much, that is a really big find! Especially, Microchess, WOW!!!

_The Doctor__ Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 That's Micro Chess 2.0 with the better game play and fixes no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah, it needs to be fixed for later systems, seeing as it almost initializes, it may only need some small fixes. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savetz Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This is from a cassette handwritten "Prowriter Demo." I can't find reference to any Prowriter software. Can you guys get it to work? I'm still terrible at getting Altirra to do things with tapes. Prowriter demo.wav —Kevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Still trying to get the Prowiiter demo to work but did you realise you put up just jpg's for Energy Czar and the Page Flipping cas? Paul.. Edit: Initial tests say all but 3 seem ok, the Prowriter demo seems to have issues as does the Santa Cruz Display lists and the Unspecified publisher - Basics of Animation - copy 2 - 1sided.wav... And yes, the last batch seem to be Tricky tutorials..

SS Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This title absolutely REQUIRES OS-A, no exception. I am honestly confused about which ATRs of the official Atari Translator Disk is OS-A and which is OS-B. I have one ATR labeled XLTRANSLATOR-A and one labeled XLTRANSLATOR-B. On the original disk, Side A was confusingly OS-B and Side B was OS-A. So what are the ATR "A" and "B" denominations telling me? Original disk side labeling or OS versions? Or maybe I just worry too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's National Turn Your Atari Cassettes into Wav Files Week so I have been converting many of my cassettes to wav files and I find that many times the 'side b' recordings work much better. Not sure why. Maybe they are less dirty because they were loaded less back in the day? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
