How Can I Insert Second Disk on Steem SSE Emulator?

[Hazelord]

Anyone knows how can i insert the second disk on Steem SSE Atari ST emulator? I'm new to the platform so i don't know how people do this on the real machine, what could help me to know how things work... I have a Memory Snapshot before entering the disk exchange screen of the game Deliverance and i tried some things, but i'm still stuck...

- Tried to activate the Automatically Insert Second Disk option, but nothing happens;

- Tried the above again with extracted files to see if it would make any difference, but nothing happens;

- Tried to put the file over the first disk of the game, but nothing happens;

- Tried to put the disk in slot B together with the first disk on slot A, but nothing happens;

- Tried to click two times in the disk 2 archive, and i ended up in a green screen;

- Tried the "Freeboot side B - caution!" option, and it gives me a weird blue screen;

I'm lost now... Maybe this is an easy thing to do and i just don't know how to... Maybe i'm forgetting something that i really don't know... Maybe is something to do with ACSI HD or GEMDOS HD? Maybe TOS compatibility? I read parts of the emulator manual talking about the Disk Manager and etc, and read almost all the FAQ archive, trying to raise my knowledge about the emulator and the Atari ST itself... Maybe i didn't read enough the manual? *sigh* Atari ST is too complex to emulate but have some great games, so i didn't wanna give up...

Try this version by Klaz as it's fixed for multiple machines, includes a trainer and recognises that Disk 2 of the game will be in drive B:

Normally I would send you to his site to grab the files, but it's having some bandwidth issues, so I've attached it below.

Deliverance_(Klapauzius)_MSA.zip

Unpack the two .MSA files and insert into STEEM's drives A: & B: accordingly

Thank you for the answer, so, this is what happened now:

- Now the first disk enter the green screen, everytime, and i found a program file inside floppy disk A;

- Then I did just like you and the program said, to insert the second disk on driver B;

- Then I played the game again and entered the boss room, where it has the load screen, but it gave me a black screen instead and stay on it;

I can not reach the disk exchange screen now, that is localized after the boss D: is this a error or i'm forgetting something?

Solution:

I downloaded ".ipf" disks, and worked, i had to swap disks because it not recognize in the second slot...

- I used the Swap option in the Disk Manager menu;

- Then when i returned to the Insert Disk 2 screen, the game finally continued.

obs: The disk 1 ".ipf" file appears to not work every time after i close the emulator and return, then load the memory snapshot from inside the boss room, and enter the disk exchange screen... It gives me a Insert Disk 1 screen don't know why.

Anyway, i'm happy that i found the solution, maybe these information helps other people with the same problem, thanks again for the help Mug UK, because of you i ended up looking for the game in another format.

The Klaz version should have worked OK as he was adept at making sure games were tested on a multitude of systems before he released his hacked versions. Very odd that it didn't work for you though.

Glad it worked out in the end though.

[Hazelord]

Yes, he did a good job on it, so i thought today about what could have caused the black screen on the .msa file, then today by curiosity i played the game again without saving and the game worked normally, then i played again saving and it worked normally... Nice, the .msa works! I really have no clue of what could possible caused this black screen.

I have only one question left: With .msa file is there a way to enter the game directly without passing by the green screen?

By the 'green screen' you mean the GEM desktop? If so, I've redone you a version of Disk 1 whereby the main .PRG file has been placed inside an AUTO folder. You will still need the second disk to play the game though.

[Hazelord]

Yes, i was talking about the GEM desktop (sorry for the green screen, didn't know the name...), thank you for the file, it worked like a charm! After i gonna try to do this by my own to learn. I'm pleased for all your help here man, you're an awesome person.
