Re: [Atari800-users] map windows folder to atari?

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

H1 is when you need to work with data in Atari OS. When you just want
to load a game then you can just use Alt+R = run.

Access configuration via the user interface:

dos 2.0s example:

[Atari800-users] map windows folder to atari?

[Peter T. <pet...@te...>]

Hello,
Can I map in some way windows folder as disk drive to atari?
With MYDOS45D.ATR I can list directory, but I would like to have all .atr files there.

I have downloaded lot's of games and would like to run them easily. In better way, than run from command line with each one.

Thank you for help
Best regards

Hello Patrick,

If you are located in Germany as your e-mail address suggests, the best way would be to navigate to the website of the "Atari Bit Byter User Club e.V. (ABBUC)" and use their forum or e-mail contact to ask for guidance.

https://abbuc.de

You can also search some of the popular archives with digital images of Atari software to see what's been already archived and what might be missing.

Hello everyone,
I have a working Atari 800 with disk drive, and I have a lot of games on 
disk. Some are popular titles that are probably already widely available 
and some are more obscure.

Is there a way that I can contribute to the library of available titles?

Best,
P.R.

Re: [Atari800-users] Implementing cartridge types from Atari800 DOC/cart.txt

[Avery L. <ph...@vi...>]

Yes, the intent is to make compatible changes. It's more that I wanted 
to make sure that I wouldn't upset any one by "sniping" in the event 
that I ended up shipping support for these CAR types in a release before 
Atari800 did, based on information from Atari800's own dev line. But I'm 
glad that there are no issues with this so far.

I'm not worried about stability, as in practice fragmentation of the CAR 
format has not been a problem and these new cartridge types have 
actually been known for some time. If it turns out that these 
definitions are unstable, then I'll of course hold off. For better or 
worse, cart.txt is the closest thing the community has to an 
authoritative registry for the CAR format.

Re: [Atari800-users] Implementing cartridge types from Atari800 DOC/cart.txt

[Christian G. <ch...@gr...>]

Petr,

I think Avery was asking if these cart numbers are "stable" (i.e. will 
never change).

Because they are only used in the development version of Atari800 until 
now. I guess they are, but I'm not the one to say that for certain.

chris

Re: [Atari800-users] Implementing cartridge types from Atari800 DOC/cart.txt

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

Hi Avery!

I am not sure if you request us for giving you an OK for you doing a
(compatible) change in your own emulator? That does not make sense to
me as it's your project so you can do whatever you see fit there, so
maybe I haven't understood you well?

If by any chance you indeed asked whether it's OK to make compatible
changes in Altirra then please yes, go ahead, that will be great, of
course.

If the question is about the particular cart types or reserved numbers
then hopefully Tomasz Krasuski will reply you directly as he has made
the particular changes.

I take from your mail that I should 1) release more often and 2)
include the cart.txt in the binary packages.

Thank you,

Petr

[Atari800-users] Implementing cartridge types from Atari800 DOC/cart.txt

[Avery L. <ph...@vi...>]

Hi,

I'm the author of the Altirra emulator and have a request I wanted to 
run by the Atari800 development team. Up to this point I've had a policy 
of not implementing cartridge type numbers in the .CAR format added by 
Atari800 until they had reached a release, to avoid implementing 
cartridge type numbers that were still being defined or otherwise not 
intended for widespread public use yet.

However, I've recently received a request to hook up CAR type numbers 
71-74, which as far as I can tell have not been released yet and are 
only present in the Atari800 development tree 
(https://github.com/atari800/atari800/blob/master/DOC/cart.txt). 
Additionally, the last release (v4.2.0) does not seem to include 
DOC/cart.txt in binary releases, which means that this information is 
only available in source releases -- and, in this case, one that's not 
even been released yet, which I'm not comfortable using without asking.

Thus, the request: would it be OK to implement .CAR types that right now 
are only documented in the DOC/cart.txt file in the master branch, based 
on the information in that file? This is for interoperability with the 
type numbers, name, and described logic; I'm not intending to reuse the 
description text or the code. Currently this would be to connect 
Altirra's existing emulation support with the new CAR assignments for 
types 71-74 as well as 75.

Re: [Atari800-users] Joystick Compatibility

[Petr S. <pst...@so...>]

So we have the following joystick related command line options:

	-nojoystick      Disable joystick
	-joy0hat         Use hat of joystick 0
	-joy1hat         Use hat of joystick 1
	-joy2hat         Use hat of joystick 1
	-joy3hat         Use hat of joystick 1
	-joy0 <pathname> Select LPTjoy0 device
	-joy1 <pathname> Select LPTjoy1 device
	-kbdjoy0         enable joystick 0 keyboard emulation
	-kbdjoy1         enable joystick 1 keyboard emulation
	-no-kbdjoy0      disable joystick 0 keyboard emulation
	-no-kbdjoy1      disable joystick 1 keyboard emulation

Looks like the "-joy0" and "-joy1" could be enhanced a bit to help
enforce real joysticks on platforms without USB autodetection.

I see. Normally the SDL version auto detects when USB joysticks are

"H:" actually means "host"; it gives the Atari disk-style access
to files on the system running the emulator itself.

So for example, if you have a file "GAME.BAS" sitting on your
computer, you can load it from inside the Atari without having
to resort to placing it inside a disk image file (an ".ATR").
e.g. via  LOAD "H:GAME.BAS"

If you tell us more about the "hard disks" you downloaded, we can
help more. :)

[Atari800-users] Using H:

[Richard W. <doc...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I recently downloaded 4 "hard disks" for use with my Atari800 emulator 
and I was wondering how to use them within the emulator. I tried to 
mount them as D1: D2: etc...but they wouldn't load.  So I figured they 
were hard drives to use with the H: but I have no idea on how to do that.


My current system is a Lenovo e550 laptop with LinuxMint 20.2 OS.


Thanks...

No configuration basically. The real joysticks take precedence over

Re: [Atari800-users] Cannot get my USB joystick to work

[Greg H. <gre...@ba...>]

It's an old MacAlly iShock. Basically, a ps1-esque controller with a few
extra buttons called A, B, and C between the dpad and select/start buttons.
It appears as /dev/input/js0 when I plug it in. If I run Mednafen, it can
work with it for NES, SNES, Genesis, and PSX games. It shows up in lsusb as
follows:

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 2222:4010 MacAlly Macally iShock

How is the configure process supposed to work in atari800 for such a
joystick? I saw some C code that just dumbly performs blocking reads on
/dev/input/js0 that reads this stick fine (see
https://github.com/wizlab-it/joymap/blob/master/joymap.c).

A USB controller should work out of the box with the emulator if it's 
supported by the kernel's HID driver and SDL. What make and model is 
your controller?

I think when it says "real joysticks" it literally means a 1970s atari
joystick with a 9-pin D connector with a usb adapter. I've read of people
doing this.

The only option I saw for the joystick said real joystick, and it showed an
option about d-hat. I tried it, it didn't work. It's not configurable, as
far as I can see (eg, press buttons on my joystick to choose which buttons
do what.)

Two days ago I asked you "why" as for "why do you map joystick to keys"
when Atari800 can use the joystick directly?
