    Sorry, it doesn't look good without patching an existing program or creating a new one. Hard drives weren't common for the average consumer in the days these programs were written. I tried launching a couple players from the H: drive, the player posted in this thread, and AMSII, to see if that would do it, but no. Hopefully someone will come along and post one and prove me wrong.

    If I knew programming I would create one if one does not exist.

    Hi there, I have been recently played around with the Atari 8 bit emulator called "atari800" (Linux Version BTW) and I figured out how to use the H: function.  It works great with MyDOS.  Anyway my question is this.  I have a lot of AMS (Advanced Music System I and II) files that I copied to the H: drive to make it easier have them in one place.  I am wondering what is a good program that I can use that will read and play them from the H: drive.  I have the ATR file for the Advanced Music System 2 player, but it only works from floppy drives.  I don't want to have to keep on swapping disks out to get the songs I want, I just want to be able to look through the list and select the ones I want to listen to, like a jukebox.  If I have to keep on swapping disks I will do that, but is frustrating and time consuming.

    3 Atari 8-bit Hard Drive images for SDrive, etc.

    Being unable to locate downloadable hard drive images for personal use with nicely formatted long file names, I made three to use.

     

    Download links in this post are for the three Atari 8-Bit 16MB hard disk images containing a little over 2,200 games. Disk images are in MyPicoDos405 format and have been set up with long file names. These were made for use with SDrive but do work with Atari 8-bit Emulators and should work with MyIDE and SIO2SD devices.

     

    Games were tested on an SDrive with an Atari 130XE. As there are over 2,200 games; testing was somewhat rudimentary. Testing consisted of loading each game, starting the game and briefly playing it (not extensive play test). A game was included if no problems were noted in this brief period of testing. A few of the games require OSb and are so noted in the long file names by [OSb]. A few require more than 64k of ram and are noted by having the minimum ram noted in brackets in the names [128k] etc.

     

    There is additional space for approximately 400 additional games in the three hard disk images but I have run out of COM or XEX files that work. I am looking for more and will probably update the images at some point.

     

    There are Excel and Text files in each archive of the games in that archive.

     

    GAMES A-F

    Games G-P

    Games Q-Z

     

    I know you did this post back in 2011, and it is now 10 years later (2021)...They are no longer there, is there a way you can either re-post them somewhere.  Also, I would like to use them with the emulator Atari800 on my Linux laptop, I am using LinuxMint release 20.2 currently.  I can pm you my e-mail address if you want to send them there as well, but I figure by re-posting them others will get the chance to get them as well.

    re-uploading because audio is messed up, stay tuned.

    Is there a place where I can download this without FujiNet?  I don't have my 8 bit computer but using an emulator

    MMM226.LZH

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted · Edited by DoctorVell

    Hi,

     

    Many moons ago I used to have a program when it was compressed it was called MMM226.LZH, it was a great MIDI music player that worked on the Atari ST/STe (maybe beyond I never was too sure as I never had anything beyond the STe). I also at one time used it in an emulator and for the life of me I can't remember where I downloaded it. It was a shareware program is all I know. I tried to type up the name of the file in my search engine and I got a site that lists the description of the file but no download (http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/mmm226.lzh) It does NOT have to be a rom image, the file itself would be good enough as I could copy the folder to my Atari "hard drive" in which I use for my emulator. FYI Shareware version is perfectly fine for me.

    Best FTP site for ST disk images

    Even in the year 2018 the site is still up and operational. I am downloading a bunch of Atari stuff for my emulator to use. I really really do appreciate you posting this. I was looking for .IMG files but ended up finding this. I will be exploring it and having more fun.

     

    Looks like The Hang Loose archive has over gone some changes in the past year.

    It is till up though, and an excellent resource.

    using hAtari

    in Emulation

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I am currently using hAtari on my LinuxMint 18.1 system and I absolutely love it but I am having a question about the keyboard layout.

     

    I am trying to use the \ and _ keys but for some reason when I type these within the emulator all I get is a ? instead. I am trying to change configuration in one of my ST programs and it won't let me change the directory without the \. I also want to rename some files with _ in it. Example hi_there.bas instead of just hithere.bas.

     

    Thanks :)

    Atari emulation and internet

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    I don't think hatari supports networking. The only way you'd be able to do this is to run a SLIP/PPP connection from the emulated RS232 device to another endpoint that supports it.

     

    That isn't easy because SLIP/PPP and RS232 are relics of the past at this point. Also if you do get it working, it would be frustratingly slow.

     

    You might want to check out the Aranym emulator instead, it has networking support

     

    I will try that emulator...there is a version for my linuxmint I can download.

     

    btw, I know it will be slow I just want to be able to go to basic websites anyway, nothing fancy.

    Configure Geneva/NeoDesk4

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted

    I had the same issue. From further installing, I found that installing Neodesk first and then installing Geneva worked. Geneva installation asks for the location of Neodesk and sets it to start automatically after Geneva has loaded.

     

    That is the exact order I did it in, but some reason it doesn't load up NeoDesk right after Geneva loads up first time nor the time after I do the changes to my desktop within NeoDesk.

    Here I am again asking questions....I hope you all don't mind as I am a newbie to the emulation scene.

     

    I am wondering has anyone ever gotten hatari to ever work with actually going to a web site? I have version CAB 2.7 (english) and I just would love to be able to connect to some basic sites while using my hatari emulator. I have it set up as an Atari Falcon 040 at 16mhz and 14mb of RAM. I am not planning on going to sites like YouTube, etc...because I know that the plugins required are most likely not going to work in the browsers written for the Atari. Also is there an English FTP and/or TELNET one?

     

    Thank-you.

     

     

     

    GDOS Fonts

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted

    What are you using to load the fonts? SpeedoGDOS, NVDI, or original GDOS? (the latter doesn't work).

     

     

     

    Ok about the later not working, that is what I want to load. I will look for SpeedoGDOS or NVDI to install. I am trying to run Atari Works btw, that is why. Thank-you for making me become clearer than I was because it does seem vague what I said.

    GDOS Fonts

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    Is there a way to get GDOS Fonts to work in HATARI? I tried to do an install of them and it said they installed properly but then when I do a reboot of the system, it just locks up on me. I have to do a "reset" after I delete the files out of my "hard drive". I am emulating a Falcon system with TOS 4.04 (Atari TOS) with 14mb RAM.

     

    Thanks :)

     

    Configure Geneva/NeoDesk4

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    I recently downloaded NeoDesk 4 and Geneva from the website and I absolutely love them. I am now just inquring about how to edit the configurations with it.

     

    Here is what I want to do...

     

    1) Autobook NeoDesk right away after loading Geneva

     

    2) Auto set resolution to 256 colors instead of 2 colors

     

    I am running hAtari and I am emulating a Falcon computer (which I love doing it) and it keeps on just loading up the Geneva and then it stops and then I have to click the Open and then run NeoDesk. Even if I do a save desktop to the 256 colors, it still boots it up to the 2 color screen. I change the settings to 256 colors and then it loads up Geneva and then I can load up NeoDesk with the 256 colors.

    graphics archive

    Hi there, is there a place where I can obtain a huge collection of the various formats for pictures for the Atari ST/TT/Falcon. I am looking for Degas, Degas Elite, Tiny (all resoultions), Spectrum 512 (compressed and uncompressed), and any other formats that were exclusive to the Atari ST/TT/Falcon computers.

    CD ROM

    in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers

    Posted

    Just curious...was there ever an Atari CD Rom drive made for the Atari ST systems (not Falcon or TT) using the normal hard drive plugin? I know of SCSI used with the Link cartridge.

     

    I don't need a CDRW nor a DVD Rom drive, just a regular CD ROM reader is fine (speed does not matter because I know SCSI one I have is 1x speed).
