It will only work if transferred and booted from actual magnetic media (Indus/GT) Which is unusual, since not even my trusty SDrive NUXX can boot the .ATR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzspeed Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Megacart and SIC CAR: images begin to load, you get the SIO 'pips'...Then a blue screen. On SIDE3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Had a quick look - was unable to get the Atarimax CAR version to work. Note that banking with a 1 Meg system can be problematic if the software isn't aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I checked the disk version directly, and wasn't disappointed. The Mouse animation is a nice add. And I had a good laugh at the title. Looks all very polished. Music is high level. Together with my set of FX it feels like playing on a 16 bit machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...It takes around 2 mins to load at standard SIO speeds, then about another minute after the hardware identification screen where you press fire.

pps Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Wanted to test the ATARIMax Image, but can't flash it to my Cart. Can't import the .car into Maxflash Studio. Another thing I noticed: The .car crashes on ATARI OS in Altirra, but runs fine with Altirra OS selected. Will add the .atr to my TheCart! now, to see the game on real machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Congratulations on next step, great it's actually happening and that close to the finish, although some aspects are still a bit of surprise and something I need to get to grip with, like blue Princess' chamber (shouldn't it be in palace's palette for consistency?) or a title screen with mouse (?). There's still that little feeling of missing on classic PoP aspects, but I guess no one can have everything For now the biggest issue though using real SIO device (SIO2SD or disk drive with turbo) seems to be enforcing 1xSIO loading time. It's seriously ultra-slow in DD density. That wouldn't be a big issue when loading next level, but intro is suffering big time because of it, whole fluency is gone, music stops , everything is paused by long loading breaks. Can there be something done about it (no loading during intro) or not forcing 1xSIO by xBios, when system and drive supports 3xSIO already at boot (using e.g. QMEG, HiassofT ROM, or drive own turbo handler laded with opened lever)? Disabling turbo and forcing 1xSIO is putting us 30 years back ? As for attached images of carts, instead(apart?) of CAR, could ROM/BIN be provided? I can't program SIC! Cart with CAR EDIT: removed first 16 bytes myself and it works. P.S. Thanks for the effort to everyone involved.

Considering the outwardly obvious friction between yourself and Candle (specifically his hardware), should I be reading between the lines here? Because it would be disappointing if that was the case. I'll buy this game assuming I can get it to load at faster than snail's pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever is between yourself and Candle doesn't interest me as a paying customer that built up a very capable A8 and wants to use it as I intended, not how you intend for me to use it. I hope there isn't some underlying code in xbios causing this issue with SIDE3 as has been the case with certain configs and code written by yourself in the past, as that's in no way acceptable. If that's not the case, I apologize. But from where I'm standing it appears that you find this quite amusing - Understand, that I don't find it amusing at all.

That's not how it works, use the 'Cartridge/Program' menu if you have the programmer/cable or use the 'Tools/Convert BIN to ATR image' but that requires cutting the 16 byte header from the car file first, e.g. via a hex editor or loading/saving-as from Altirra. Here's an ATR to program the 8Mb MaxFlash cart in case anyone needs it. PoP_Atarimax_20210610.atr 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
