Omnitrend's Universe Manual?

[Omnitrend's Universe Manual?]

Anyone know where I can get the 1.3 version of Universe to run on an emulator? I thinkI have version 1.2, and I have an apparent normal problem with the sublight drive. I can run the scan, and apparently it'll move the ship, but then it locks up. Luckily it appears also to write the move to the player disk, because if I reboot flight 1 the move will be there, or at elast so far it has. Any help is appreciated, and I already trned of the SIO patch on Atari800Win PLus 4.0.

I had the same problem. Turning off the SIO patch seemed to work for me.

It worked! Turns out it was the SIO patch that was causing it to hang up. Once I turned that off I was able to change orbit. Awesome.

 

Thankfully, I hung onto all my Universe documentation and notes. I even have a captains log that I kept. Now if I can just find a way to convert my old Player disk to .atr format, I can pick up where I left off almost 20 years ago.

Wow! Almost two years later and I checked this forum out of sheer boredom and what do I find?

 

You guys are awesome. I can't wait to try again to get Universe to work. Wish me luck.

Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I posted this query at Atarimania, but so far there has been no response. I'm hoping someone on this forum will be able to help me.

 

I'm still struggling to get Omnitrend's Universe to work in Atari800Win PLus 4.0. Has anyone succeeded in getting this to run?

 

I've tried versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 of Universe. I can get the two disk drive versions to work as far as creating a player disk and fitting out my ship. But everytime I try to use the sublight drive to move to a lower orbit the game locks up.

 

I'm fortunate to have saved my original copy of the game and manual. I've followed the procedure for changing orbit exactly as described in the manual but the game freezes while waiting for the orbital radius to be input. At that point there is no response to any keyboard input.

 

What am I missing? Is there some special setting to the emulator software?

 

Please help.
