Psygnosis Barbarian had screenshots from rooms that didn't exist. But of course the controls were so utterly hopeless that the odds of me ever finding out back in the day was pretty much zero :)! Still loved the game though, since it looked and sounded amazing and was also one of my first ST games :...

I was considering that, but I find Github to be somewhat confusing. I am not a coder, so get a bit lost

Yeah, it's rather sad considering how well many of the other cores are doing...

Not sure if the people behind the Hatari libretro core is hanging around here, but I thought I would take a chance and ask; Are there any plans to update the core at some point? Maybe add working netplay? :) Some buddies and I have tried to get ST netplay working in an older version of Retroarch and...

Interesting! Thanks for posting the link!

Interesting! Thanks for posting this info! lostdragon!

I really should replace the case and keyboard for my 1040 STE. Money is a bit tight at the moment though, but get back to me if you have any of the items and then we can see ..

If anyone else is having this problem; I actually found a solution to it. If I use "Windowed Borderless Mode" the GUI returns (see attached picture), at least in 3.9.4. Also this doesn't seem to affect my ability to record with Action, so this worked for me...

If you want to actually image the ST disk directly on the PC, no, Pasti doesn't work like that. The imaging tool works only on the ST. But you don't need a PC with a FDC, you can use an USB floppy for the purpose of accessing the transfer disk. Otherwise, if you have some kind of ST hard disk emula...

I'm not sure what you mean. PastiTools precisely creates and writes to an image file on the PC. PastiTools reads from the transfer disk. The data on the transfer disk is written at the ST. What exactly you want to do? Is it possible to have the image file saved onto the PCs hard-drive instead of to...

A bit of a necro post this, but since the PASTI software is still relevant, I thought what the hell . Is there a way to have PastiTools.exe write to an image file on the PC HD instead of to a floppy transfer disk?

Ok, I know its a PC app, but I got the impression that you needed two floppy drives on your PC to get this to work, according to the text file. A bit confusing that text file, but still doubtful it will work since the FAT probably wont be readable

double post, sorry

STTOPC.rarallright here you go Had a closer look at the text file, don't think this will work. It copies files it seems and since the FAT on the disk is probably not in good shape, I doubt this will work. Also seems to require two floppy drives... oh well, still worth a look, thanks for finding the...

I think its on this forum , I uploaded it years ago ... bill godfrey sttopc on a st format coverdisk takes one line of command to launch and a repetitive arrows and key command to control... think its right arrow to open directories...down arrow to next file ,,instructions are included ,,, u look a...

on a pc with a floppy?
its a dos command program , and very good I might add

Nope, don't believe I have... I am a bit allergic to command line software. Might be worth a try at this point though , do you have a link?

charles wrote:what about a pc with floppy drive and some new recovery software ?

Hmm... question is; are there any PC programs that might be successful in repairing the disk?

put in envelope and send to me , .. :) A tempting offer :), but I am afraid that if the disk isn't dead already, I am pretty sure the freighter will make sure is both physically and magnetically dead by the time it arrives in Canada :D My mum has an old PC with a Floppy drive, I have transferred so...

Thanks Charles! I included Diskedit in my attempts. But no luck so far, the disc seems unreadable. Both the boot sector and FAT seems screwed beyond repair. I have managed to make an PASTI image of it without any read errors, but of course the image isn't possible to open either. Almost all my other...

Thanks AtariFan! I do understand some German, so will hopefully be able to make sense of the program. Will give it a try.. in fact I am setting up right now :). Cross your fingers guys! There's a useful program called Disk Workshop II for repairing disks (in German). It is available on cover disk 6/...

I think I only ever played the demo of Damocles. I think there was a time limit or something, otherwise you were free to explore the world. I was amazed by the fact I could fly from planet to planet and explore it in its entirety! It also made me so exited about the future of the gaming industry and...

I had no idea! Very sad news! RIP Mr Woakes! I had actually been considering to try and find him and conduct an interview with him, but that will sadly never happen now

I will try the copy & repair to the same drive and cross my fingers! Thanks guys, will let you know how it works out!

Thanks ggn and Mug UK! Will give Trans D-Bug express a try as a last attempt. I do have two floppy drives, but my external one is not working. No power, don't know if its the brick or the drive that's the problem, should really attempt to fix it. Would Knife ST work with an HD? I have a Unicorn USB ...

I have now transferred most of my old ST disks, with the aid of a Unicorn, about metric ton of stubbornness and a bit of patience on top of that. :D Hopefully I will be able to upload some missing stuff to the archives soon... However I have couple of disks that wont open due to errors on the origin...

Ah ok, thanks for the update. Hope he comes back! Cheers!
