Xebec Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi folks! I'm prepping a bone stock 48K Atari 800+AVGCart for a retro LAN party next weekend, and I just noticed the versions of MULE that I have limit me to 1 or 2 planeteers only. I've tried .XEX versions found via forum searches here, and what I already had from a while ago. I also tried the multijoy figuring it wouldn't be compatible, and it wasn't. It's not that the 3rd and 4th ports don't work - I can actually use those joysticks for players 1 or 2, but there's literally no option for 4 humans. Are there any other XEXs available? I have an .ATR version that won't work on the latest AVGCart firmware, and a .bin file that also doesn't load. P.S. After updating my AVGCart to the latest firmware, my existing mule.XEX won't even load now.. ugh (tried copying a fresh version down, no change).

Wrathchild Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) You're welcome to try this cart version as the AvgCart provides the mapper. I did have a report of it locking up after a few rounds but didn't get any followup on that if I recall, so worth giving it a try first.

Chilly Willy Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I can't recall seeing an executable version of MULE, but here's my old disk image. Plays 4 humans on 400/800 just fine. AMULE.xfd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmp Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 this xex works for me, what was the version you upgraded from and what's your current firmware version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgraded to 17 from the original AVGCart post (download link = http://avgcart.tmp.sk/files/atari/avgcart-0017.zip), and believe it was version 12 before. I tested this on a second Atari 800 (bone stock, no mods at all) and same result. Of course I don't know if it worked before on that version. Mule.Atr also doesn't work (though I'm not sure which ATRs work / don't work on AVGCart). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 looks like xex loader fix in 0016 broke something for OS B machines, if i choose that on my U1MB XL, mule doesn't work, it works with stock XL OS downgrading to 0015 seems to help, on the other hand the menu doesn't run without pressing reset, i don't know if that was also happening on a real 800 since nobody reported that i should get an 800 for testing but they're quite hard to come across around here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Let's get 4 players working in XE mode in Incognito. It disturbs me to see 2 ports that I can't use. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
