TonySoprano Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Does Imagic's Demon Attack cartridge work on the XEGS? I have one and it does not seem to work, it might be the cartridge itself is bad but I'd thought I would check for compatibility before I take the cartridge apart for cleaning.

+Mitch Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 It's a 400/800 only game. To use it on an XEGS you'll need a translator disk/cart. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Anybody have the translator "cart"? I always wonder whether it interfered with disk based binaries that load into the "cart memory" area, or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I am not sure if it is a 400/800 only game. (Nearly) true for the fileversion, the version floating around needs the translator disk. But I remeber that i converted it for xl/xe use (was an easy job to do). Like other 400/800 fileversions of cartridge games demon attack used a copyroutine with a jmp into the old 400/800 rom. Guess this code was from a cartridge copy program because i found the same code on many other 400/800 only fileversions but who knows?

Do you know if any of these "conversions" are available somewhere on the internet? I was thinking of starting a thread on this, cause alot of the problems were created by direct calls to ROM routines that were moved. Many of which would be easy to correct. Funny how this never occured to me "back in the day", or maybe it did and I ran into problems. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the file and cartridge version require a translator or OSB compatible OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Have a new 1050 from ebay, now i am waiting for my floppyspeeder (my filedisk's a dd). Hope to publish the XL fileversion this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hey.. thanks for keeping up with this thread. If there are any other titles XL fixed, feel free to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Attached is a version of Demon Attack that will work on your XL/XE computers. Nir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Ok, my diskdrive is ready to run now. I found some files but not all on them. You can download it here: www.atari8bit.de/xl.rar The ATR contains Demon Attack, Capture the Flag (at least my fileversion needed a translator disk), Robotron (don't know if this was A800 only but was on the same disk) and Gremlins (the sound of my fileversion was horrible without fix/translator). Maybe i'll find more, wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hey thanks for the link... As far as I know robotron works fine on XE's and Mario Bro's has the same sound "bug" as Gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
