Can't get Atari800WinPLus w/VAPI running

[atx4us]

Hello Everyone,

 

I downloaded the two files - Atari800WinPlus & vapi.dll from the link below and tried a few .atx files. All I get so far is Atari default screens. Can anyone please help? Also, the program prompted for a "zlib.dll" file. Where can I get a copy of this file?

Thanks.

Quote from the webpage for which you provded the link yourself:

Note: the patch to the emulator is a quick and dirty hack. It is not perfect. Some things don't work, others don't work perfectly.

 

An answer to your second question is on that webpage, too.

Yes, I'm aware of the hack comment. But I have tried three different .atx files and none of them work at all. Do you know which of the listed .atx files work for sure so I can give that one a try? Also, I actually found the zlib.dll file from my Atari++ folder and not the Atari800Win folder. I hope that I can get something working soon.

Most of them work fine, try another three. Or you might consider actually providing some details of your problem. Like: which files did you try, what is a "default Atari screen", or what do you actually mean by "trying a file".

Remember to turn off the SIO-patch option. That will cause the files not to load.

That's it! Now how was I to know to do this? Thanks a bunch

 

Also, thanks to Kr0tki for offering your help.
