Atari 800 XL and AtariMax MyIDE II

[daryuss]

Hi forum's members.

I have an Atari 800 XL and I use The ATARIMAX MyIDE II with FAT32 Loader,

Thi cartridge should supports all file.xxx included *.rom and *.com.

But is strange that Gyruss.rom is working in Atari 800 emulator for pc, but it does not work in my real Atari 800 xl through My ide cartridge (Gyruss.atr i also tried)!!!

Is it a firmware cartridge update matter, or is there a different particulary Gyruss roms that I have not found in internet?

 

Thanks in advice.

There are quite a few programs that just won't work with MyIDE 2 Fat32 unless they are patched. On the Atarimax forums in the MyIDE section they have a thread with all the patched games so far, if Gyruss is not there, you can let them know and they will make a working, patched version of it.

try using this same patch approach that works for Rain of Terror (and several other games).

 

Just modify the batch file to use the filename you want to try to patch.

For example, edit the .BAT file below so ROT.XEX is changed to whatever your file it is you are trying to run in MyIDEII Fat32 Loader...

 

And also change the ROT4MY2.XEX to whatever you want to call the output patched version (this will be the file you would then put on your MyIDEII.

 

COPY /b M2PATCHv3-withE.obj + ROT.XEX TEMPROT.XEX

COPY /b TEMPROT.XEX + M2PATCHv3-endblock.obj ROT4MY2.xex

ERASE TEMPROT.XEX

Give it a try, this worked for me on several games that would not load in MyIDE2 FAT32 Loader otherwise.

Thanks to ProWizard for the original patch approach, I just stuck it into a batch file to make it easier.

Oh, and you have to put the file you are trying to patch into the same directory as the batch file before you execute it too of course!

Perhaps gyruss is OSB?

 

My patch routine is one of the things I am most proud of. It is in fact a complete new loader. It copies the data that the fat32 loader saved in the Sram of the myide cart to the right ram locations in the Atari.

 

It does even support multistage loading (including multiple INIT instructions)

Well,

 

Gyruss seems to have problems with several hardware add-ons and extensions (do not remember why). For MyIDE there has been a patch by Mr.Atari long ago...

Many thanks to Gunstar, erichenneke, ProWizard, CharlieChaplin for gave me information, you have been very kind, tomorrow I will try directly CC's rom shared, (Although is not allowed to share these roms in the forum, he did it for me , is recommended to share these in p.m.) now I'm very tired!

Good evening!

I got to try just today. Gyruss (MyIDE patched).rom it's working with My IDE II fat 32 loader. But does not working with SIO2SD (It's normal because this peripherial does not support *.rom files) Thanks again to everybody answared me!

It is also important to mention that files that are patched with my patch-routines for MyIDE 2 will /only/ run from MyIDE 2 since the patch routine is written for that hardware. So I would definitely keep the original XEX files too somewhere in a safe place!
