I have been using both atari800 and atari 800win on a vista system. What did you need help with?

'Directdraw does not support the graphics display mode. Try running with ".blt" or "width640" on the command line'

 

What i want to know is how do i get it to work

I assume you are using the emulator from sourceforge.net - atari800.exe?

You need to create a batch file to include the command line options.

 

drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -blt

or

drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -width 640

 

if the batch file is in the same folder as the emulator then you can eliminate the drive and path names and just use:

 

atari800 -blt or -width 640

 

to start the emulator using a specified disk like an atr file use-

 

drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -blt "drive:/path to file/filename.ext"

or

drive:/path to emulator/atari800 -width 640 "drive:/path to file/filename.ext"

 

Again eliminating the drive and path names to the emulator if the batch file is in the same folder as the emulator.

hope this helps!
