FifthPlayer Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Nice! Actually I'm going to grab the ATR you just made and pull some of the xex files from it so I can build the AtariMax image. A few of the 16K ROM images (Miner 2049er and Moon Patrol hacks) are not supported (!) by the AtariMax cart, as well as the XE cart image for Mario Bros. The xex loader built into AtariMax has problems loading the Bosconian game (I tried the 64K version). I get a title screen, hit the trigger button, then get a black screen and a hung system. It might be possible to tweak the settings to get the xex loader to work, if anyone has done this let me know. Otherwise I'll do some experimentation.

LOL! The name in the project was simply pinball.xex, I think. Changing it in the folder now. Correction will appear when I revise the ATR. Thanks for calling it to my attention. -a8isa1 Edited December 6, 2018 by a8isa1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthPlayer Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) There's an Atarimax compatible version of Bosconian final in the thread you posted. Do you have a direct link to it? I believe the version I tried was the Atarimax compatible version but it did not work. However, I tried the NTSC version because I don't have PAL. Update: Double-checked, and the file I used was "bosco64NtscMax.xex" which sounds like it is supposed to be compatible. Also tried the PAL version which also crashes past the title screen.

FifthPlayer Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 a8isa1, Do you have the Moon Patrol hack as an XEX? That's one of the ROM images the AtariMax cart rejected, and it's not in the .zip archive you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifthPlayer Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 No worries - I put together the update list with the naive belief that a 16K ROM image would go onto an AtariMax cart no problem. I didn't think I would need an XEX. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8isa1 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I just discovered Moon Patrol Arcade is a 16K cart image as well and it's still a WIP. I don't see any XEX versions posted. -a8isa1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 How about this "Mario Bros XE Arcade" XEX? It runs fine for me running it directly via UNO or SIO2SD but I cannot get it to work when I add it to an AtariMax compilation image on my Ultimate Cart. It would seem an approperiate addition to this project if someone can get it to run. Mario Bros XE Arcade (HACK) (130 XE).xex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) The XEX's loading is little odd:The blue segment overwrites the green segment and then the red segments, if the AtariMax cart is not enabled/disabled correctly, overlap into the cart memory. EXE: Loading program 0006-0020 to 2020-203A EXE: Loading program 0025-0025 to 0244-0244 EXE: Loading program 002A-0188 to 2000-215E EXE: Loading program 018D-018E to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 207A EXE: Loading program 0193-252B to 8000-A398 EXE: Loading program 2530-2531 to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 2000 EXE: Loading program 2536-2536 to D301-D301 EXE: Loading program 253B-3523 to 8000-8FE8 EXE: Loading program 3528-3529 to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 2000 EXE: Loading program 352E-352E to D301-D301 EXE: Loading program 3533-4A29 to 8000-94F6 EXE: Loading program 4A2E-4A2F to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 2000 EXE: Loading program 4A34-4A34 to D301-D301 EXE: Loading program 4A39-616E to 8000-9735 EXE: Loading program 6173-6174 to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 2000 EXE: Loading program 6179-6179 to D301-D301 EXE: Loading program 617E-8D53 to 8000-ABD5 EXE: Loading program 8D58-8D59 to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 2000 EXE: Loading program 8D5E-A83A to 8000-9ADC EXE: Loading program A83F-A840 to 02E2-02E3 EXE: Jumping to 210C I'll put this onto a cart image and see what happens [EDIT] Appears to be a stack problem as the title is using the stack memory for code reaching very far to the top of the stack.What is happening here is that JSR calls and the start of the VBI (pushing the AXY registers to the stack) are trashing the loader.Trying to determine of this is the cart's own XEX loader (possibly not resetting the stack pointer before it starts) or the games own code. [EDIT2] OK, so solution is to open the entry within the MaxFlash Studio s/w and change the "EXE Loader Base Address" from $100 to elsewhere, e.g. $400 worked for me.

+CharlieChaplin Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) $2020-203A holds only text: fileversion by Homesoft Since this data-segment or better the text does not get displayed on screen, it can be overwritten. And errm, Homesoft makes fileversions for disks/disk-images (180k disks/images), he cannot test every file if it also works from a flashcart. Homesoft often uses the stack, so his fileversions cannot be run with a) floppy speeders that use $0100 (e.g. Turbo 1050, Hyper-XF, etc.) or b) Hias Hi-OS (Pokey divisor zero) or c) any packers that use page 1 (e.g. one of the two DJ-packers)...

FifthPlayer Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Yes, $0400 works to get the Mario Bros EXE working for me. I'm not having luck with getting Miner 2049er and Bosconian to run from the AtariMax cart. Miner 2049er just gives me a black screen with $0300, $0400 and $0700 as loader addresses. The same loader addresses for Bosconian got me as far as seeing the in-game "Bosconian" chunky text title screen, but then a black screen and a freeze. I am likely to put out the AtariMax image soon without these two games, as I have limited time for trial/error with the loader settings.

_The Doctor__ Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) miner can run as a rom(or not what size rom is it) I thought, it's been on a cart before... and didn't someone already talk about bosconian in the thread?
