Atari-Forum

Got a Nexus7 a while back and it runs a number of emulators really well. MAME4Droid/MAME4All is spot on. UAE4Droid works reasonably well - Stunt Car Racer, Microsoft Golf and Shufflepuck Cafe are indistinguishable from ST versions. Shufflepuck is reasonably playable as the touchscreen emulates the m...

On the http://dbug.kicks-ass.net/ site, Menus Page, Click 191-200, then Click 'Menu 200'.

This gives page not found.

All the others work.

On the forum, there is mention of a CD image with all 200 menus and password in 2009 but no url.

This is on Automation 278.

Hi,

Can someone point me where one can download this menu (the link is broken on the DBug site) ?

Thanks,

Baz

68000 only at 8MHz as the first ST ?! Wasnt the Amiga running at 7.14MHz? What killed both original machines is technology moved on rapidly and neither ST or Amiga was easily or cheaply expandable.

If you are using HD floppies, put sticky tape over the 'HD' hole and format them as 720K disks on the ST.

If still no luck, try running the programs in Steem 3.2 with TOS 1.62UK on the PC

WEC Le mans, I wish there was a version! I d/l an arcade ROM with the end of converting it, the orginal was68k so ought to be straight forward! :lol: :cheers: The original was two 68k's and a Z80 for the sound...

I used to use a staple remover with the two of the remover prongs under the back 'aperture', straddling the lip, gripping and then quickly pulling up.
The remover had the effect of raising the lip over the plastic, reducing the risk of damaging a good shutter.

Try putting the program you are double clicking in to an AUTO folder as this does not load the desktop into memory.
Sometimes even tiny crack programs forced some games from 512Kb to 1Mb.
If you use a 50/60Hz switcher, put this in first, then the game program to ensure it switches first.

Links appear to no longer work..

This is working AFAIK:

CJ is right - Fastcopy was the standard (fact not opinion) for menu disks as it ensured that tracks read correctly and allowed retries on misreads. Ten years ago I copied most of my disks onto PC without many problems. Most were formatted by Fastcopy and copied by STImage (which can also copy back t...

The Little Green Desktop versions of 409 (and 401) dont work as the boot sector loader was overwritten by the LGD boot sector.
As a result they drop in to the desktop.

This might be a daft question but where can one download some of the rarer menus like 4, 7, 13, 18, 19, 24, 38, 42 and 45?

In the early nineties, WH Smith had a cabinet that created business cards to your own design. It had a colour monitor, printer and computer. The cabinet was an upright and grey in colour. One day, when it was being maintained/refilled, I saw the computer inside was an Atari ST! - either a STFM or ST...

Thank you all :D . How many more disk images do you anticipate there are Keili? Ignoring of course any new ones that may come out in the future. Can we yet estimate the % completion of your list? Hard to say. 1/3 of all the images i have are [a]'s and 's and about 5,000 disks are unrenamed. With th...

Re: Images not on the list A couple of years ago I posted the ST sides of the ST Amiga Dual Format Cover Disks on the forum but these have subsequently been removed - hopefully someone put these on a server somewhere? These were copied in the eighties from the full disks, ignoring track 40 (the Amig...

Jinxter was protected and 11 sectors to boot.

My copy of Pawn is v2.0

I thought I read many years ago that the new owner of Atari announced that they had no intention of using ST technology and all Atari software was now PD. i.e. the TOS roms and Atari copyrighted games.

Due to a mix up, Automation 370 and 376 were released with the numbers switched. There are copies with 376 and Nine Lives but I havent found one that works yet (menu is duff but if you rename 9 lives as .PRG, it runs). Any one able to post one here?

In the meantime heres 370 with Nine Lives

Airball was one of the first games I got - lovely to look at but very difficult to play as it was difficult to stop.

Why not try the Construction Set to look at the rooms - may give you a clue on how to finish it

These disks were protected - I am fairly sure they were not cracked:

A number of the GAU disks are single sided but you will need to copy the images on to a disk from a PC (Dos/W95/W98 work best) If you have access to a PC and STeem you can create single sided disks by dragging and dropping files on to a single sided image and then copying to disk. Pacifist can copy ...
