    One used Koala Pad input device for Atari computer. This unit is in good, used condition. The unit is clean and the case shows very minor plastic discoloration due to age. SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS. The cord is flexible and in excellent condition. The unit is untested, as I don't have an Atari computer and program to test it out on.

    I'm asking $12 shipped.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

     

     

    Is this thing still available if so I might want to buy... I am going to PM you also..


  2. Hello guys,

     

    I've managed to preare a hacked version of Stunt Car Racer that is able to load from any device under DOS. It was tested with DOS II+/D and MyDOS under Altirra, as well as Sparta DOSX with SDINIT and it seems to work.

     

    Of course there are some disadvantages:

    • This version uses additional bank of extended RAM (should be able to run on 192kb machine)
    • There is no Hall of Fame, Replayes - all I/O operations are disabled, beacuse there is no xBios
    • The animation during loading is corrupted - but when you boot from HDD there is no time to watch it :)

    If you don't accept these limitations, please stay with the original version. I made this for my own fun and all the users who want to enjoy fast load from their HDD interfaces.

     

    Of course some things my not work, it was rather a quick and dirty hack. I will appreciate your feedback.

     

    I use Maxflash Cartridge Studio to put this into a 1mB cartridge. Play seems smooth although I was on the chains more than the track. Nice colors on the start up screen. Also I only tried the practice titles, because of poor eyesight hand to eye coordination is way down. All in All a very enjoyable game.

    Now to try it on Side2 and U1M 800xl..

    And the 2nd one just does a recursive directory sort:

    echo off
    
    proc task
      echo .
      echo .Processing directory $%d$ ...
      sortdir .
    return
    
    
    proc walkdir
      gosub task
      for %d in +s *.*
        cd $%d$
        gosub walkdir
        cd <
      next %d
    return
    
    
    ; Main program
    load command.com
    seterrno 0
    echo .SDX Recursive SORTDIR by FujiDude ver. 2018-02-25.
    echo .
    set %d=%1
    phd
    cdd %1
    gosub walkdir
    pld
    load
    

    I like the second one because I do a lot of directory sorts. But I modified this one to sort by switch /t so my Graphics and media files stay in my sort order..

    And also the second on can be modified to do a recursive CHTD *.* of all folder in the partition..

  4. http://www.horus.com/~hias/atari/hipatch-1.30.zip

     

    This zip file has a patch program that will allow you to patch the rom in your Atari. And another program to dump that patched rom to a file on diskette, floppy, sio2pc emulated floppy or hard drive if you have one... Under emulation it is quite fast and easy. Then using the patched rom and an eprom's burner put it into a new 74128 socketed rom. If you have none of these requirements it will cost about 60.00 USD to set up.

    I don't either, but I managed a translation. I'll tell you how.

    I pulled the program up in Altirra, then I hit System -> Video -> Enhanced Text (Hardware Intercept).

     

    Actually, that may not have been necessary, but I cut and paste a screen at a time into

    notepad, and then corrected the special international character sets which were usually

    replaced by a "." in the middle of words. I then pasted into Google Translate, and we have this...

     

    @jmccorm

    Thank you for the translation and info on how to do it. This program is one I copied from the ATR you uploaded in another thread. I really enjoy working with other peoples Graphics programs. I modified one basic graphics program to view PIC files but it doesn't do the TYPE 2 Koala graphics very well, but any way I modified it so I view the PIC files from my Side2 and U1M Atari 800XL Hard drive partition..


  6. I also do not understand the polish language. But here is what I found out while using the program so far. The Projector is a gfx viewer for various gfx formats. It starts with an intro and a polish manual. When "Wczytac Intro ?" appears you can press "T" (tak=yes) to load the intro and N (nie=no) to skip the intro and go directly to the viewer. Think I created a shorter version without the intro part (length approx. 50 sectors), but one still has to press the "N" key to load the viewer - someone else can do this better I guess...

     

    Thank you for the RGB files to view..

  7. Another day, another couple of disks have been archived. The first disk seems a mix of loose pictures, sounds, games, utils. Some filenames might suggest a chance of content which may have been considered titillating at the time? The second disk looks like a couple of Avalon-Hill military strategy games.

     

    Disks for Loading. Disks for Archiving. Disks for Atari. Disks for Users.

    DOUBLE DENSITY attachicon.gifMixed (Some Basic) AMS, PICs, Game, Util.ATR

    SINGLE DENSITY attachicon.gifMilitary Sim Games (Basic) - Panzer-JADG, Panzerun.ATR

     

    Please report any problems. Please report any totally awesome experiences.

    Please report this or any other disks if inappropriate for AtariAge to distribute.

    Mixed (Some Basic) AMS, PICs, Game, Util.ATR has three new to me pic files that I have added to my collection. and a great graphics viewer. one basic program that plays Hill street blues.


  8. @jmccorn:

    SECOND SET OF QUESTIONS:
    •Did anyone figure out what the SCREENDM was?
    •I want to think that DM was yet another disk archiving format?

    ScreenDM.001 & .002 are both basic programs that are some sort of screen dump programs.

    001 is a graphics dump to printer.

    002 is a graphics dump to screen.
