Place Logo Here Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Recently acquired a 130xe after losing my original about 15 years ago. Also bought a SIO2SD. Interesting device with a lot of promise after I stumbled my way through how to use it (alas, a lot of old, misleading or just flat-out wrong directions out there). But I am having trouble finding working ATR and XEX files, often for common games. Took a lot of hunting to find a working Alley Cat or a SCRAM that was converted from cassette to disk image, but why can't I find a working Donkey Kong, Qix or Karateka? I must have tried 20 versions of DK and not a one worked (admittedly, also tried some ROM and CAR files, which I have since realized was daft of me). The primary sources I have used are AtariMania, Mushca's page and the torrent posted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentarian Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Are you are holding down OPTION before you power on to disable internal Basic? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHA Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) i have siotosd and almost everything works, if not a basic/option thing maybe it needs updating here is a copy of my games collection - they all work!! - just unzip and place the atari folder in the root of the sd card (you probly know this!!) ATARI.zip Edited May 7, 2017 by AHA 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Place Logo Here Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 [facepalm] Yep, it was me not holding down option. I knew I had to for some games (Yoomp, Jumpman come to mind) but, since I didn't for many of the files I have downloaded, I did not think to try it for the ones that weren't working. Funny, I was even able to piece together a half-assed way of saving my progress in Hitchhiker's Guide and yet still couldn't figure out such a simple thing. Thanks for the advice and much gratitude for the file collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMontezuma Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Switch Off the "TURBO" in the SIO2SD settings and you will be able to load everything. And here a nice game collection. Edited May 8, 2017 by TheMontezuma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
