Das Atari XE Handbuch (1987) seems the best (or least worse) manual Atari made. Better than Atari 130XE Owner's manual (1986) who doesn't even cover graphics modes > 8... Thanks!

Being a multicart and not a SIO device, AVGCart ATR compatibility is limited. But it's a nice bonus because tens of games work (for example Infocom and Adventure International games) and with second hardware button it is possible to swap disks. For example, it is possible to program in Basic and save files too.

It is better to ask to @tmp or wait his reply here. Anyway, 1. From instructions "<ESC> disables cart and resets Atari": I think it is possible but if it's not possible tmp could add this feature. 2. I don't think it's possible, but again, better ask tmp.

It is available and still updated, as you can see in this video published two days ago Just send a personal message to @tmp, cart's producer. AVGCart features:

First of all, thank you very much for your work. Previous FastBasic's versions introduced some commands, useful for your Players Missile Graphics source code generator: PMGRAPHICS (setup PMG) PMADR (returns the address of the data for Player n or the address of the Missiles with n = -1) MSET (to clear memory) PMHPOS (sprites horizontal position) I would help you but I am not skilled enough...

New upcoming firmware increases AVGCart multicart loadings and filename searching speed.

SELECT console key or joystick in port #2 to use pickaxe, bombs or ladders.

@Mikeee76, Wasteland's (KazKompo and Atari Homebrew Awards 2019 3rd place) programmer, has just released Angry Betty. The game has been programmed in Mad Pascal. The player must dig through dirt collecting money (gems) and spend it later to build a new house for him and his wife Betty. Every next floor costs $100. There is also a small store where items (pickaxes etc) can be bought. SELECT console key or joystick in port #2 to select pickaxe, bombs or ladders.

As written by @MrFish, tape with audio while loading would be cool! That was an Atari unique feature. I would try it a couple of times, then I would store the tape and use the game with multicart/SIO device/emulator.

Would it be possible to set Source code editor default language? Every time it starts with Mad Pascal and I have to change it to FastBasic. Undo on graphics and PMG editors would be nice. By the way, a new version of FastBasic has just been released with Display List Interrupts command!

Wrathchild Galahad and the Holy Grail XEGS.rom: doesn't load with Altirra and AVGCart Wrathchild Galahad and the Holy Grail (1982)(APX)(US)[no intro - low load]: loads with Altirra and AVGCart

I've tested Star League Baseball various versions with AVGCart: Homesoft XEX: 2 seconds Wilheim ROM: 1.8 seconds Wilheim CAR: 1.8 seconds Wrathchild SLB_XEX-load_AtariMax.car: 2.4 seconds Wrathchild Star League Baseball (low load).xex: doesn't load and loads with Altirra

Considered the fact ATR and XEX versions of the game exist, at first I didn't think it was really necessary to make a ROM/CAR version of that game as proposed by Wilheim on Facebook (yesterday I posted a photo of my Star League Baseball game) because Multicarts like AVGCart, Side 2, Ultimate load XEX files. But ROM/CAR files are loaded instantly, for example by AVGCart. Therefore I changed my mind and I told him it was a good idea to do it.

Do you mean "Boot Atari executable"? I tested your W64 RespeQt with new icon and it loads XEX files.

Great! Thank you very much!

In fact I was just wondering if someone would make a beautiful 3d printable case for it. Another solution would be U1MB; I've read that now it can be installed without solderings on socketed 800XL.

If you want an external memory expansion, you could think about Sys-Check II, a diagnostic card that can be used as memory expansion too:

I made this icon: Atari.ico

Or AVGCart, cheaper and with more features (Side 2 cart emulation, ATR limited compatibility and swap disk button, search functions).

What are icon specs (size, colors)?

AtariMax format would be useful if you'll add hi-score saves.

Would it possible to change the Atari Infogrames "belly" logo with real Atari logo or another icon? Thanks!
