ianoid Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I bought this as a lot recently. Here are the dumps of all the carts. One of them didn't work in Altierra. I have attached photos of the carts, which for the most part are not very exciting. @Rom Hunter A8 - Computer Orthoptics - Therapeutics.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Auditory Visual Orientation.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Computer Pegboard.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Directionality Visualization.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Perceptual Speed.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Peripheral Awareness.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Spacial Orientation.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Tachistoscope.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Closure.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Coding copy 2.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Coding.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Concentration.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Diagnostics.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Memory.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Motor.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Scan.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Search.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Sequential.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Span.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Thinking.bin A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Tracing.bin 15 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the "Computer Orthoptics" one, right? Can it be assumed to work on real hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tested it yet. It was the title I only got the startup screen from, and it was a different screen/font than the others. If you tell me the title, I can try it out.

Keatah Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) It's these that don't work in altirra.. Likely bad dumps or bit-rot.

_The Doctor__ Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Try them in a Real Atari, first on an 800 and then on an XE, try with and without a disk drive connected... it might either look for a disk or purposely not run if it sees a drive, it could even look for a cassette ... many things to try... could get even crazier if it look for custom device/display/ controlled hardware...

A8 - Computer Orthoptics - Therapeutics.bin 16 kB · 3 downloads A8 - Computerized Perceptual Therapy - Visual Diagnostics.bin 16 kB · 3 downloads Neither works on the 800XL. They both get to the title screen, and Diagonostics asks for a date, but after that, it gets nowhere. It’s possible they are looking for a peripheral, or it’s possible they are corrupt. If someone wants to look at the program data, it might be possible to determine what they are doing after the title screen. That’s out of my league though.

+David_P Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Might they be looking for the 400/800 OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Almost certainly these work in tandem with some hardware, I don't know if the original seller had just collected these or actually knew what they were for and maybe had the extra stuff at some point?

This might be a stupid question, but have you tried entering a date before the year 2000? Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+kheller2 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Saw this on eBay. I see a cable, and didn’t known they branded the computer too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/134885134520 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Haven't gone through all of these, but it's worth noting that at least a couple require the joystick to be plugged into port 2. This doesn't do anything to solve the boots-but-does-nothing behaviour a pair of them appear to have, but I have a suspicion that they may want a disk mounted R/W to be present.
