I'm trying to re-use vertically players.....but i don't get it to work, and i don't know how exactly Who can give some information on how to do this ? Thanks, Thelen

you mean a cross-assembler ? I would recommend XASM or DASM Thelen

Yeah, that would be very great to put someting like that on-line. My drive broke down last week, i'm now busy with it. My test software says everything is right, only HEAD STEP/SETTLE TEST FAILS.....what does that mean ? My other 'happy' disk drive hjas some problems too. first it must warm up before it loads some quicker, en the test says : HEAD STEP/SETTLE TEST FAILS and TRACK 00 SENSOR test Fails...??? how can this be, if it can boot a disk ? WHo knows more than i ? Thanks, Thelen

yes, I was looking two days ago also at the graphics of Gauntlet, and thought they were using mode 4, because it the ghost etc are moving like characters, but when I saw the display list i thought too : why ?? Thelen

on the 8 bit you can change the player's color on every scanline, you'll have to make a sort of kernel like this : LDA PLAYERY ; Y POSITION PLAYER STA VC ;STORE IT IN VARIABELE VC LSR VC LDA VC TAY INY UNTIL STA WSYNC ;WAIT TILL OFF SCREEN CPY VCOUNT ;ARE WE AT LINE TO BEGIN CHANGING BNE UNTIL LDX #0 LOOP LDA COLTABP0,X STA COLOPM0 INX CPX #27 STA WSYNC BNE LOOP there is a register, vcount where a value is stored on what line the atari is drawing, if it's the line where the player is you can change color the example above can give a player 27 different colors, and the colors are stored at coltabp0 Thelen

Nice site !. And some nice information on how it started. Thelen

I think you have to run Fdisk first, and try to make a partition. If the program doesn't recognise a HD there, then there is something wrong. Have you made the cart by yourself ? I did make the internal version some time ago, and not all harddrives worked with it. Most Quantums did work. Make sure you run the program from MyDos ( I assume you did) Thelen

To what Eprom is the atari 8 bit OS rom pin-compatible ? and where can i find a pinout ? Thanks, Thelen

very nice to see some extra support for the homebrew industry ! Thelen

Keep on working on it man ! Thelen

Great !, it's very interesting ! Thelen

AAAH ! your link sin't working ! Thelen

is that a lan connection on your cart ? I'm very intrested in how you have connected it with your network.. or do you use a serial connection ? Thelen

really quick ha !....I didn't even know it was for pal and ntsc.. But why do you need a pal and a ntsc system ? Thelen

It's for a pal system because the creators of it are from a pal nation. The eprom is centainly needed, because there is some extra code added to the original BIOS. Used for functions to load your code or a rom image to the ram cart, or to read an existing cartridge. Thelen

That example is super !!! I missed it on 22th... @ Cybpunks, I have included a example for a HELLO WORLD program. It assembles with XASM like the example from Heaven. Thelen hello.zip

I have made some sort of cartridge reader/writer, and i have read out some of my cartridges. but now i wanted to read out 32KB/64KB/128KB carts....so i read about it at the atari cartridge dumping project. Now, I have read out my starraiders 32KB cartridge, and tried it with atari800win...and it works ! . Then I tried food fight and crystal castles, which should be 32KB and works with the same principe ? am i right ?...But they don't work...I really don't understand why starraiders works, but why food fight and crystal castles not..? and works Ballblazer and other 64KB XE cart like this ? 7 banks at 8000-9fff and the last bank at a000-bfff ? Thanks, Thelen

I downloaded the player, and it's very nice ! Then i listened to world of wonders 4..it sounds great(depeche mode), and I searched on the net about it...and found this http://www.back2roots.org/Music/Forums/Min...064/1033346422/ Is it true what he is saying ? I never heard about it. Thelen

Very nice ! the network option must be great ! although i haven't seen a atari online Thelen

if you write data to the ram area of the cart slot( $a000-$bfff), it should be standing there.. lda #$ff sta $a000 for that moment d0-d7 will be high at the cartridge port. Thelen

I have a 21 inch monitor, with RGB in only (and vsync and hsync). Right now i have connected it with my pc, and it works good. Now i was thinking can i connect it to a XE/XL ? can i get rgb out of it, do i need vsync/hsync signals ? The monitor belonged to a apple macintosh, which only had RGB connected with it. Thelen

What number has the 6502 compatible microcontroller ?. and about your micro-computer, what are you going to use as a screen/ to visiualize ? Thelen

crystal castles ? Thelen

Air sea battle ?? Thelen

Off course you can also connect the 800xl composite to your tv Thelen
