+orpheuswaking Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I have been playing with some of the demos in the fujiology download and I'm trying to load one of the hi tec team demos... When it loads it says remove write protect and hit start. It's been forever since I have run into this issue, is there a setting in either emulator to flip the write protect?

flashjazzcat Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Flip to R/W or Virt R/W in Altirra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well that was obvious, thanks FJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 The Big Demo is a classic. Try out the built-in DOS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F#READY Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It contains a hidden surprise for those who used to change our named in the intro texts with a sector editor. We wanted to make sure to be able to write 'something' on the disk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 The big demo was one of my favorites - I actually still have my PD copy from Page 6, along with all of the hobbytronic demos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It contains a hidden surprise for those who used to change our named in the intro texts with a sector editor. We wanted to make sure to be able to write 'something' on the disk... I tried that. I remember being warned not to do it within the demo and I then changed some text. I thought that you'd have something come up on the screen saying "Naughty naughty!" or something like that. No, my disk drive started beeping and it got filled with the text "DISK F*CKED". Yes, I know, I was warned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F#READY Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 IIRC it plays a digi sample first. The sample was taken from the movie 'scarface', so that will give you a hint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sample was taken from the movie 'scarface', so that will give you a hint It may have done - I was around 15 at the time so it would have been 22 years ago. I remember panicking as I didn't have a backup of the disk and I'd paid £2.50 for it from the New Atari User PD library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
