Ricky Spanish Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Sorry for the newbie question, but what would be a decent flash cart for just basicXE to be loaded onto from my PC ? Can't seem to find any OSS basic XE + extension disks for sale. As always, many thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 You could load this on a multi-cart that supports cartridge images, e.g. AVG, UNO, etc But you can get a pre-built Basic XE from AtariMax https://www.atarimax.com/freeshippingsale/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 If you decide to purchase a BXE flashcart, you might ask Atarimax if the disk extensions will work properly with it. Years ago, there was an issue. It may have been fixed by now. This may also be an issue with other flashcart versions of BXE. Dunno -- I have real OSS carts and a MyIDE II cart which does work correctly with the extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No link but you can purchase from me directly. My cartridge will run the XE extensions but you will need to load them from disk or from Sdrive or Drive Max As far as I know there is no cartridge that can load and run the cartridge and the extensions Thanks Bill Edited May 28, 2022 by videofx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Just to be clear, the issue that I recall with the Atarimax cart was that the system would lock up as soon as the extensions were loaded from disk. It had nothing to do with loading them from the cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
