+Allan Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 'Boot Error' usually means there is no DOS on the disk. Find a ATR image of a Atari Dos and put your program on it. Then load it from DOS with the L command. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i guess i somehow recall there was a DOS Disk u had to insert first in the drive and then the bootless Game u want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into this the other day w atari800 plus win and atari800.exe sometimes you have to turn off fast disk access or have basic loaded!!! then it should load.

+therealbountybob Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Atari800Win+4.0 sometimes works better if you load the file directly from the file menu (Load executable or Autoboot image) rather than double clicking and using windows file associations. Also try saving the file to your hard drive then loading it, rather than loading it straight from a web-site. Let us know what game/image you are trying to play if this doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
