Re: Pure C examples
Does anyone have the full manual for Pure C in English? All I have been able to find is the document that summarizes how Pure C works.

Re: Help Finding a Game
All, And we have a winner...! Turns out this game needs TOS 1.00, an ST with 512kb. I also discovered that the MSA file format would not allow for a successful run. I used the MSA converter on the image (converted to .st) and viola! Game loads and runs just like I remember it. Thanks for all of the ...

Re: Help Finding a Game
All, Well... I have found the exact game. Turns out, I did not look extensively on Atarimania for this title. The game is called Canyon Bombing and runs on an ST (of some flavor). Now for the bad news, I can't figure out a configuration for either Steem or Hatari that will allow this game to load. I...

Re: new game (need loop fix)
MrPixel,
Might help if we could see some code example of what you have that is not working.
You might not be that far along, though. It's OK if you're not.

Re: Help Finding a Game
tteclado, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the graphics for that game are waaay too fancy for the game I remember. This game was very simple graphically. Just some canyon walls, a set of different colored blocks at the bottom, and the darn helicopter flying above the canyon walls. The entry...

Re: Help Finding a Game
Skarg, I can definitely confirm that this game was played on the ST. It may have been on some public domain disk i had back in the day. Thanks for the reply, though. I was beginning to wonder if anyone would do more than just look at the topic. I am still actively searching for this game and will ce...

Re: If then else bypass
Mr. Pixel,
Just one point of clarification. Scalar variables in Atari Basic do not need DIM's. A scalar is defined at first use. Only arrays and strings need to be defined prior to use.

Help Finding a Game
I am trying to find a game for the ST. I played it back in the day. The game was for a helicopter to drop bombs into a canyon and destroy bricks below. If I remember correctly the helicopter would come in from the right on one pass and then come in from the left on the next pass. I think the game us...

Steven Seagal,
Just checked Pasti with WIN32 version. Works like a charm. Again, sorry for my failure to WTM.
By the way, please keep up the good work with Steem. It is my favorite ST emulator and your work has really brought it up to current day.

Re: Pasti not working in Steem SSE 3.9.1 x64
Steven Seagal,
I am using the 32bit SSE 3.9.2 and it does not load the Pasti.dll when it starts. Consequently, I do not get any options for configuring Pasti nor do I see any .stx images in the Disk Manager. Am I doing something wrong? Pasti.dll is in the same directory as the SteemSSE executable.

Re: The great Atari 800xl file format mystery!
seastalker, The common usage for disk images is to use .atr format. Carts are more normally shown as .bin images instead of .exe, though I have seen a good number of carts as .exe Be careful with changing to .xex. This extension is most typically used for stand alone executable programs. If you have...

Re: How to edit simple Basic programs outside atari800 emulator?
dvh, In case you are still looking for answers here, one stop-gap measure for linux would be to write your Atari basic program in the editor of your choice and save as text, if needed. Once you have your text file, open it with a hex editor and replace all of the newline or cr/lf pairs with a decima...

I don't get the reference to extd1. Is that table in SpeedoGdos or in the VDI? Sorry for the question. I am not well versed in the inner workings of GEM. I can barely get a window on the screen these days.

The directory of files does move according to the other parts of the code, but the slider position never changes. I think I don't understand your solution. You set the first tmp variable to the integer division...

Re: AHCC
peterlane,
Thanks. I thought I had heard that about this compiler. I was considering doing the same using int for the data type. I will take a look at your code and try applying that to mine. I am using STEEM as my development environment. I will let you know if it freezes on exit.

Re: AHCC
Hi all, I have run up against another issue. Seems that AHCC (at least the binaries for the 68000) does not contain an intrinsic for the float type. Chapter 20 of Cmanship Complete uses this data type in calculating the size and position for a vertical slider. Is this a know issue with AHCC, or am I...
