Hatari emulator controls, can't move mouse

[Hatari emulator controls, can't move mouse]

Hi Steve, 

 

interesting feedback, I have hatari on Android but can’t run multi game disks from hard drive. I’ve used steem on pc and agree it’s very smooth but haven’t used for hard disk access yet...

 

Can you please advise how to run operation stealth for e.g. from hard drive in steem ? 
 

the game comes on three .st images the first has .prg which works from hard drive. But how do you redirect the launcher to disk 2 and 3 in respective hard disk locations e.g. folder osD2 and osD3?

 

 Many thanks,

Second demo video:

 

At start pointing on large image sizes - like 6 MB for Elvira 2 . Possible even more, so can put content of several floppies in single image file, what will act as logical drive A: . Here mounting 3 types of images:

1. Blockout - regular floppy image, same as what runs from real floppies

2. Elvira 2 - large image, with content of 6 floppy disks, space for game saves. It is actually FAT16 format, since FAT12 is max 4 MB .

3. Stardust - 2 MB image, and because this game uses direct floppy controller access, it was needed to make some changes in it's code - based on hard disk adaptation. You may see that there are no regular files on this image, when switching to it. The benefits: less RAM needed - no need for disk cache. Higher speed - no need to RAM swaps as in VHDload concept based systems. Hard disk access is with TOS ROM code. Waitings in this video are because slower depackers in games. Basically, you can run 512 KB games from hard disk with this well on machines with only 512 KB. Or 1MB games with 1 MB RAM .

And of course, not only for gaming. Those who made images (ST, MSA) of their floppies, with own SW, data can use them well, without need to write on real floppy disks, HxC . Just copy on SD card for Atari .

Hi Peter,

 

I’m using hatari and trying to use GEMDOS to run a game from emulated c drive. I’ve mounted each of the three disks via drive a and copied onto c in same folder. Game intro runs but asks for location of disk 2 in drive c. Is there a way to solve this?

 

I’ve downloaded the game already in hard disk version film atariage game page (operation stealth) but it just shows the start game load screen then goes back to Atari desktop in an orange colour.

 

 Thanks for reading,
