I will leave a .txt file witch in reality is actually a atr file you can run w atari800.exe
the disk image is 1.atr i renamed it to 1.txt
also i found a nother autoboot disk no basic needed witch as a nother merry christmas card to you all...
ALSO NOTE Happy holidays to all and to all a Happy NEW YEAR 2010!!!!! ☺ wow I wish good tideings to all in avery language.
there will be more images of user disks and more public domain images if you like this one..
LOAD UP atari800.exe w basic loaded then load up 1.txt you dont have to rename 1.txt to 1.atr i loaded it and it worked anyway!!! cool huh.
then pick merrych
then merry christmas then wait.. use joystick to place 25 lights on youre tree then listen to music then when its done it says push start
but you dont have to cause all that does is load menu so i just turn sound down and leave as screen saver.. also christree is a nother tree w music.. so enjoy star is a file i typed in from compute magazine (no i cant remember witch one).
you move w joystick left and right avoiding space chunks score is added to screen was very hard to add onscreen score!.
joytest is joystick testor. paddle is paddel music testr.
I also ound a nother christmas image boot w no basic its called copy of merry christmas 19xx demo.com i renamed it to .txt so i could post here. I assume its public domain..
DUAL is a basic game needs two players and two joysticks and is fun its a turret game where you pick volicty (power) and angle to lob bombs at enemy it was one of me and my brothers most liked basic games that somewhat dont suck I think he typed in most of it and i modified the
explosions and the sound .. I forgot how but i rememebr doing it.
Logo is Atari symbol. ballons is a basic game horse is a horse racing game wait for the special charactor set to load it will run but takes long time to load in basic.. slalom is ski game.
I have included some snaps of Merrychristmas running..
note it lets you put lights above triangle of bottom of tree in same line .
I have Now Included a snap of menu.
You can type dos then using atari.exe.
You can choose new disk image after pasting copy of this one and then use copy type dos then delete all but menu on copy of 1.atr then use copy as blank basic disk this is what i did.
I just figured out atari800.exe lets you actually load files or SAVE files to atr images so on real atari if i load a atr image using APE I can save"d1:menu"
then autorun.sys runs menu on basic load I have changed this before password is sa -=*+(atari symbol)+=-*/ then it askes you to push start for menu witch i renamed to dir all i did was make a new menu and saved it as menu.bas you can use autorun to run any basic game or file just make shure the file is named menu.bas or menu now the thing is I forgot how I made autorun.sys It could have been a txt file but i forget.. ill include a nother basic games crap atr image and password protected one use sa i shortened the password cause you cant seem to get atari symbol graphics to work w my password file.
USE sa for password !!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺ you have no idea how long it took me to TRAP basic get$() and other things I even made the menu reload when you pushed reset you had a hard time pushing break cause i trapped that to I found on atari800.exe when its loading on reset you can push pause break same as atari break button and it stopps.... I then deleted lines to make less password input..
it was part of funpack .
Here is a trick to bypass password use the ATARI disk swap trick.
just boot w 1.atr or 1.txt then swap disk to passworded then just push 0 on menu and it will reload menu to let you see whats on youre disk.
as long as you dont run any basic file you can see whats on all youre atari images..
Please Enjoy These images ..
here is where i got atari800.exe
