(And the SIO-cable of it works alright!) Strange heh, since they also published it on tape...?!? Funny to have to choose one way or the other, but that appears to be the case... data cassette only or disk drives only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(@skr made them in previous years). Here it is my 2020 compilation. I'll add it to my site soon... Sorry for the delay, but I had some problems with some of the entries. I had to modify "10liner-Snake" (it didn't initialize the numeric arrays and garbage values were being used from memory previously used by the disk menu), test that "LOGITrumps" can be run in Atari BASIC instead of Applesoft BASIC, create an Atari BASIC file from "Hacking the Atari" Altirra BASIC source, and I had to be somehow creative to extract "Racer" from a LiteDOS ATR. Hummm, was that all? On 4/5/2020 at 10:33 AM, Philsan said: BTW, congratulations Victor not only for the games, but for explanations pages too: https://www.vitoco.cl/atari/10liner/ Thanks!!! ?

+Philsan Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Thank you very much Victor @vitoco ! I had a hard time getting Racer started until I found out (reading the code) that joystick must be plugged in port 2! Strange choice by the programmer, A8 software assumes joystick in port 1 (unlike C64 where joystick most of the times should be plugged in port 2 but sometimes in port 1).

Strange choice by the programmer, A8 software assumes joystick in port 1 (unlike C64 where joystick most of the times should be plugged in port 2 but sometimes in port 1). I was also confused the first time I run it, but as I was working with the source, I found out that immediately. Then, I had to decide whether to modify it or not. I decided to leave it as it was because that was intended by the author (even when I also found that strange). I was about to put a note in the menu, but I forgot to change that, because Poke Pig distracted me when I changed its type flag from Atari BASIC to TurboBasic XL (but I didn't change the category from PUR-80 to PUR-120). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Not the first time I've had a title that wants stick number 2 as the default.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+skr Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Normally I also wanted to create a menudisk for Atari, but as vitoco used his menu from 2018 again, I decided to do something else and learn Commodore BASIC V2. ?? I´ve never programmed the C64, so I had to learn all from scratch. But it turned out, that I managed it to create a little (very slow) menudisk. Nothing fancy, but my goal to learn something new was achieved. If you are interested in it, download the .D64 with the menu and all entries for C64 right here: basten20.d64 To load the menu, insert the disk (image) and type LOAD"TENMENU",8 and then RUN Have fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking it and post it there, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunsen Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I added the disk images from skr, vitoco and file-hunter for C64, Atari and MSX to the download section of the 10liner site. Thank you, you 3! Anybody wants to prepare menu disks for C16, Amstrad, Speccy ...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Commodore 16 & Plus/4 should be more or less identical to C64 IMHO, only different content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
