Mclaneinc Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thanks Fred etc, as Baktra said, Altirra handles tapes really well now ie properly checked so it seemed weird they didn't load.. They do need a change as anyone using emulation may get them running on an old version or on Atariwin but will the game play properly if its ignoring errors..Unlikely...

Fred_M Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I found out I cannot replace the flac-files on Atariwiki because they are in a seperate directory. I will ask lucky buck to replace the files. Here is the working wav-file of the 1983 version (the 1985 version is the same). Enjoy Paul!

+CharlieChaplin Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Some nice (but maybe redundant) info about "Dimension X" tape by Americana: - the tape has two stages - stage 1 = bootloader (tape-bootfile) - stage 2 = program => a standard COM/XEX/EXE file One can simply copy the COM-file to diskette and load it from there with a gamedos. Approx. 10 tapes (from over 500 tested) use a bootloader and a COM-file, e.g.: - New Adventures of Laura (Retronics) (!) - Daylight Robbery (Atlantis) (!) - Periscope up (Alternative) (!) - Pothole Pete (Atlantis) (!) - Spooky Castle (Atlantis) (!) - Pole Position (Atari 1983) (!) - Dimension X - Zero Wars (Byte Back, stages 3+4) - Chicken Chase (Bug Byte, stages 2+3) - Decision in the Desert (Microprose, stage 2) (!) means, these tapes use the well-known exclamation-mark bootloader...

baktra Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 - New Adventures of Laura (Retronics) (!) (!) means, these tapes use the well-known exclamation-mark bootloader... The New Adventures of Laura game is using the STDBLOAD 2a loader, not the exclamation mark loader. Both loaders display the exclamation mark on screen. STDBLOAD 2a does it by purpose, the exclamation mark loader does it as a glitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
