Mr Robot Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I've come across a couple of xex files now that I can't get to work in atari800 or Altirra. Heres one. 3DHOMER.ZIP It's supposed to look like this But all I get is this I've tried PAL/NTSC, OSb/OSXL, 48K,64K,128K,320K, BASIC/NOBASIC in both Atari800 and Altirra. The only thing that changes is how fast the lines scroll. At first I just thought it was a corrupt file but I've seen the same thing in more than one xex and I've got replacements from different places and they are all the same. I must be doing something wrong. What have I missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The dreaded "works here" Seriously it does,, interlaced screen of the homer picture and if you press shift it says 3D homer by Elvis / MAD.. Have you got any other hardware added on like an Ultimate or VBXE... Try it without those and then find the culprit... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) using real roms instead of Altira roms or vice versa? Edited November 1, 2018 by _The Doctor__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm a bit suspicious that the screen shot looks like those here ? I shouldn't think Altirra is reading a different file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks Paul! I found it, there was a bug in my launch script, telling it nobasic wasn't turning basic off. I hadn't noticed before because basic is usually off in the configuration, it was only recently I turned it on by default I knew I had to be doing something wrong! I tried both Altirra and real roms, both work when I do it right. It doesn't matter that I have an H drive or that the printer is enabled either and fast SIO patch can be enabled too. So many possible variations, one silly bug in a bash script Edited November 1, 2018 by Mr Robot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
