Virtual Adam Help

[Gabriel]

I'm trying to use Virtual Adam to play some Buck Rogers Super Game. The game boots fine. But then I come to the screen which asks me to hit 1 for one for one player and 2 for two player. No key or controller button I press seems to register.

 

Regular Colecovison games like Atarisoft Defender will start when I use the number keys, but it doesn't seem anything Adam specific (like Buck Rogers Super Game or Dragon's Lair) recognizes any of the number keys or numpad keys. Although the typewriter does register the number keys (but not the numpad).

You need to change to "keyboard mode" to register the "1" keypress...hit F9

Thank you. I knew I was missing something like that.

Very important to check out all the key assignments in the documentation file, especially when using an emulator of a retro-computer.

Yes, like NIAD said...most of the keyboard commands can be found by clicking on the keyboard from the main screen.

 

Others by clicking on the HELP tab...still more by looking at the original ADAMem doc file which should be in the ADAMem folder within the Virtual ADAM folder and is called ADAMEM.TXT.

Can someone point me to a copy of Virtual ADAM emulator? The download page on the website where it's supposed to be located doesn't work.

 

Thanks!

The easiest place is http://www.sacnews.net/adamcomputer/although his link sees to be non working right now. Check back later with Joe.

Looks like Joe's site is not directing correctly for some reason. Go here http://ann.hollowdreams.com/virtualadam.zip download it and upzip it - it is over 8mb long (big?)

Don't know what the earlier problem might have been, but I just tried it and it works for me.

The link for Adam Downloads in the Virtual Adam text is not working - it is pointing at downloads.html and not at the download directory
