[Prince of Persia won't run on my ST]

I have a copy of Prince of Persia for my Atari 1040STfm, and it won't play. After I load the game, I notice some of the intro music is missing, but that's probably since I don't use a stereo TV. And when the game starts, I can't move at all whether I use the keyboard or not. All that happens is a smacking noise when I hit the S key. Can somebody help me out here?

HMOVE lines?

What are HMOVE lines?

[Blue Lines on Edge of Screen]

I noticed while doing my Plaque Attack review, that on the left side of the screen there were blues lines. I don't know what they are or what's causing them. Can somebody enlighten me on the cause?

[Game reviews sometime soon]

I apologize for my lack of ability to upload any reviews for the last few months. But being a middle schooler, I've realized I don't have as much time as I used to. Either way, I just wanted to try and get a review on before the end of the year, so I finally threw this review together that I started back in September but was too busy to finish. I want to close with a Happy Holidays!

[Collection from a young collector]

Very nice collection. Also, not to burst your bubble, but I started collecting games when I was 9.

All a kid has to do these days is google the answers to the questions of age verification. heh...

Why google the answers when you can read each question and see the hilarious wrong answers?

Unboxing of my recently purchased complete copy of LSL1 for Atari ST.

Thanks for the help. When I get my ST, I might start another topic with a link to an unboxing video.

[Questions About the ST]

Unfortunately, I have another problem. I can't seem to find reliable NTSC versions of Leisure Suit Larry 1 or Prince of Persia, two of my favorites. Also, is it possible to just change the format of the games from Atarimania to ST and run them on an ST?

[Questions About the ST]

One last question. I noticed the games I downloaded from Atarimania are close to one Megabyte in size. Would that fit on the type of discs I need?

[Local store getting rid of old Atari inventory]

Still got that Prince of Persia for the ST in one of the pictures? If so, let me know.

[Questions About the ST]

Does an Atari 520STfm have a built in power supply? I'm thinking about purchasing one from B & C ComputerVisions.

[Anyone thirsty for some PoP?]

I wish I could have found this sooner. I've been waiting for PoP to come to the 2600 ever since I found out about it. I can't wait to see the finished result. Good luck!

[Questions About the ST]

Lately, I've been looking into purchasing an Atari ST. Before I do though, I want to know a few things. Do I have to get an Atari floppy drive or will any external floppy drive do? I also wanted to know if its possible burn an Atari ST game onto a blank floppy disk from a normal computer and run it on an ST. Please answer my questions if you can. Thanks.

 

I would suggest that go on STE instead ST. It is very compatible with all ST SW too (even if some people did not realise that). And all STEs have internal floppy drive.

Expanding RAM in some ST is nightmare. In STE it is very easy, thanks to sockets.

 

Considering writing floppies for ST(E): you can do it with some PC equipped with internal floppy drive - not USB !

Then may use SW specially made for Windows XP and later: http://atari.8bitchip.info/floimgd.php

 

What others suggested: 720K - only good for limited count of SW.

ST2DISK is for DOS, not usable in newer Windowses. And I have better experiences with MAKEDISK - another DOS only program.

 

And what you consider as "normal computer" ? Answer me if you can

Basically, I consider a normal computer to be any computer from the twenty first century.

[Questions About the ST]

The early 520/1040 ST's did require an external disk drive. All the later models STfm/STe/Mega's have them built in. You can format a floppy disk on a PC (DOS format) and the ST can read them. Make sure you use real Double Density disks (DD) and not the High Density ones. To transfer the games from the .ST images on a floppy, you'll need STDISK which you can get from here: http://www.softpedia...ls/STDISK.shtml

But do you have to get an Atari brand floppy drive or can I use any external?

Quick update: So it turns out my primary game sources friend bought the games and is selling them for hundreds of dollars. But instead bought a Magnavox Odyessy 2 with the original box.

If I get my hands on any of them I'll let you know, and I'll post pictures

TIMTOM, the flea market is.... Wait a minute, I can't reveal my sources, but the guy put them in safe keeping until he has a price on them, he looks up how much games are worth before he sells them.
