jetset Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Can the Atari XE carts be played on the 800XL? I'm wanting some like Crossbow, Dark Chambers, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yes, unless they require 128k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Smeghead Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 There are XE carts that require 128k? Really? Which ones? I assumed that they made all the carts to work on the XEGS / 65XE. Thanks, Smeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geosteve Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I never heard of 128K carts either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think Dark Chambers is 128K ? My 800XL will actually run that file, so I'm wondering if my XL has been upgraded... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some programs, like Atariwriter, can use the extra memory in the 130XE if it's present, but it's not required. Dark Chambers will run fine in 64K.

kevin242 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 most of those carts will run on a 400/800 too (w/48k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 XE Cartridges like Flight Simulator, Night Fight, Summer games are 128k in size. they will run fine on XL/XE computers as the games does not copy it self to the extra memory of the ATARI computer, but uses its bank switching technology to load the extra memory from the cartrdige on a normal 64k or 48k ATARI computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
