Dutchman2000 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 As per the wishes of the original programmer John Seghers, here is the final version of Xari Arena dated 9-20-83. This was recovered from a ROM file saved onto an 8-inch disk created by their VAX system at Atari. The ROM file on the disk was not a binary file, so some work had to be done to make it into a cartridge binary.

Albert Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks for your work on tracking down this game and making this final version of the game available. It's one of the few original titles for the 5200, and it really shines on the system. And it supports the Trak-Ball controllers, and even tow Trak-Ball controllers for simultaneous, two-player action, which is a blast! I even enjoy playing it with the stock 5200 joystick controller. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Thanks, Dutchman2000! I'm planning on picking up Xari Arena from the AtariAge Store. Is this final version the same version that's sold in the store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 IS this the version that is being sold on cart in the atariage store? I asked the exact same question a few posts back. Yes, it's the same version; see Dutchman2000's response in Post #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thanks Jaybird. This is what happens when you are in a rush to go to work and don't read all the messages with care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Has anyone out there (besides me) tried this on the SD Ultimate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Has anyone out there (besides me) tried this on the SD Ultimate? It doesn't work on my SD cart either. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 You need to tell the system it is a 2 chip 16k cart. It works that way with my flashcart. There has to be a way to tell the SD cart what type it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Quickly glancing at the binary, I think you can do this: 8K filled with $FF First half of binary 8K filled with $FF Second half of binary That should give you a working 32K image. EDIT: I tried this and Albert says it does not work. Curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supergun Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What about the original binary (the Sean Kelly multicart rom) Is it possible to simply "patch" that one using the guts from the new one? (dress up the new binary in a similar format) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
