Sometimes you need to know when to stop.

I was thinking about it and decided not to get it. I have C64c with SD card which works great, and I have 2 C64TV joysticks which are converted and working. One of them have disk drive port and other SD card. So I'm good. Oh, and I don't play them very often.

I don't know..., it looks definitely fishy to me.

I'm not an Atari STe guy, but here are some tips: Find diagnostic sw put it on 720KB PC disk, run it see if it finds any problems, maybe memory is bad. Remove the cover, push all the chips in, check if some chips get hotter then usual. Swap memory, or use less to see if it crashes, I'm not sure how much RAM you have.

PM for Keyboard.

OK, I got it. You need the HxCfloppy emulator software to create the disk, then it works. So, 2.5MB floppy disks on ST using Gotek success! Previously I was using the MSA Converter s/w to create the blank disks. You can use this s/w to create the HD disks, but they don't work with Gotek drive.

The 1.44Mb image did not work. Here is a link to someone who made the 1.44MB image, but it did not work for me, I'm probably missing something. It's under section 4, it's in German so I translated using google. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chzsoft.de%2Fsite%2Fhardware%2Fusb-stick-floppy-emulator-am-atari-st%2F&edit-text=&act=url Maybe someone else can try? It would be nice to have 2.5MB floppy.

I think, like most posters here mentioned before, the Commodore was not focused in their strength that was games and gaming. The most popular computer was C64 and it was used for games, one of the most popular PC's in Europe were Amiga and it was used for games. The Commodore did not see the writing on the wall, that it was the games that sold the Amiga's. They should have focused more on games and made games console sooner, but they focused more on business and business like machines. They couldn't even see what Video Toaster did for them. (When they released the A4000, they did not tell/work with Newtek about it). Few companies realized that they have to change like Sony from electronics giant to Playstation, and Apple from PC's to Phones, and Microsoft too. So, what I would have done? I would focus more on creating best gaming console. Amigas graphics were on par with SNES (which was released in 1991) but Amiga was designed in 1984! The CD32 was great idea, but a little too late.

Well, it did not work, maybe we can try 1.44MB DOS image? Maybe there is an option to switch/enable HD image mode, which I did not see.

It looks like I may need a HD floppy mod, maybe new TOS chip to get the HD floppy to work (HD floppy image for that matter)

At first try it did not work, it gave me error: " Drive A: is not responding. Please check the disk drive, or insert disk." Let me investigate...

Give me an image and I will test, I have Gotek with HxC firmware on my STE.

It worked! I'm using Gotek drive to get it to work. Created 3 floppies on Win PC with MSA Converter, copied the Wolf 3d files into 3 disks with the RAM disk program. Created the RAM disk, reboot, copy all Wolf 3D files, Start and it works. This Wolf 3D port plays very nice in full screen mode on plain STE. http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st-wolfenstein-3d_s20138.html?soft=20138&AWPID510833C0=C946F6F209B7AEF7E35949AB3FBAF8152B70F042 Thanks

Thanks, I'll work on it and see if it works.

It's Wolfenstein 3D for ST and it comes in multiple files that I could copy using multiple disks to RAM disk (at least that is my idea). The game requires 2MB RAM and I have 4MB 1040STE, so... it should fit in RAM and run at the same time.

Hi, is there a RAM disk software for the STE? I wanted to run a game from RAM disk, because the game does not fit on floppy disk.

I'll take the snes super mario world, I have some n64 I can ship back for it. Hmm... how much shipping from Canada?

You could try to run it under VirtualBox.

I'm using Nesoid that came with my JXD S5800. Works with physical controls. Some games did not work, I'm not sure if it's the ROM or game.

I got mine with Virtual Fighter for $20 new sometime in '95? I still have it.

Schematic and code would be nice.

Sold! Thank you

Better late then never I say...
