In Topic: Merrychristmas atari images found
Mon Jan 30, 2012 3:25 AM
I Know Frogger POLPOS MARIO invader hocker easternfront and bolder DASH construction set are © files and are only here for archival purposes and educational purposes and are not for sale or profit and are here only as DISK IMAGES of my old atari disks and are not to be used illegaly if they are illegal then dont download them leave them here! as they are just an archive.. I did not relize I had uploaded the © images untill I woke up the next day after being up all night! loading disk images from real atari drive into emulator image software I was up for like 4 days copying atari disks and was super tired anyway enjoy anyway I did so mutch work finding the chrismas T.A.I.G images that I didnt notice I had uploads some ©ted files I assume you know if you dont click on them then you have nothing to worry about and since this is like a place were I dont know how to remove old posts I just forget about it after this stub I actually uploaDED THEM here incase my machine needs to be reformated I could get the images back from here later.. I also will if i find more images upload then here I just yesterday finnaly figured out how to use unarc and unarced bezerk finnaly 10 years later I figured out how to unarc a file i found on a old actuall bbs online I got some Atari files a long time ago but never knew how to use the .arc files nor had the room to have a disk with sufficiant space to load the unarc file and then unarc .arc file to disk then used the emulation to swap disks and load up unarc file then load up 707 sector free disk then load up bezerk.arc then put 707free sector disk into emulator drive 1 aND BEZERK .ARC INTO DISK 2 THEN SWAPED DISKS AND UNARCED BEZERK TO DISK 2 W 707 FREE SECTORS ANYWAY I DID IT AND NOW HAVE ONE MORE GAME I NEVER HAD BEFORE THAT WAS ARCED..
ARC IS A ZIP LIKE COMPRESSION..
SO WHEN I FIND THAT i MIGHT UPLAOD IT OR FIND MORE ARCED FILES AS i HAVE LOTS OF ARCED FILES BUT THERE NOT .ATR FILES THERE THE ACTUALL FILES AND i DONT KNOW HOW TO LOAD A REAL ATARI FILE TO A .ATR FILE NOW IF I COULD HOOK ATARI ORIGINAL ATARI TO LAPTOP USING SIO CABLE I COULD USE MODEM TO MODEM AND HYPERTERMINAL AND MABIE GET FILE ONTO REAL ATAri DISK THEN JUST USE ULTRA COPY TO MAKE COPY OF REAL ATARI DISK AND THEN COULD LOADUP INTO EMULATOR And then laod unarc and unarc more files..\
when i figure out how to get atari to comunicate w hyper terminal and or xmodem I will start using bobterm to get more .arc files onto .atr files this way i can unarc them.m

I also am talking about 800 atari disks not ST disks I hope this is the right place to talk about Atari 800 810 images.. My images are in ATR format but you have to rename the .txt file from .txt to .atr as Atariage wont let you upload .atr files I did however get the christmas images loaded two years ago just in time for chirstmas..
the christmas tree was re written to have attract mode to look cooler and have MORE colors..To the BLINKer BULBS.. on the
Virtual Tree..
also there is a SNOOPY disk in there somewhere in witch snoopy is sleeping in a snow storm on his house..
I almost forgot to mention that if you have a atari basic file in witch if you have dos and dup loaded and want to load youre special basic program or basic
game automaticly just rename the file from example..........
ATARIMENU.bas,AUTORUN.SYS then it will load automaticly load autorun.sys
I treid it with any cart TYPE .com file and it worked too!!!!!!

oh also I never had a problem w Reading a Atari Disc even after 26 years but I have kept Really Good Care of my disks and KEEP them away from SPEAKERS AND MAGNETS I also did back up all 120 disks using ape shareware and a SIO cable I had hooked to my LAPTOP..
I did share the PUBLIC Domain disks of the month from
SPACE(St. Paul Atari Computer Enthusiasts). Group
Disks of the month I put on AtariAge as txt files just rename them to .atr files and enjoy The Real reason I shared the disks was I always loved the Christmas tree files.
here is the link
http://www.atariage....i-images-found/
most of the disks are my basic ones.
if you find the locked disk just use
s
the full password proteced dir.bas witch is menu.bas from eugene origon menu.bas modified just use the full password as follows
s
a
then -=*+ then push atari symbol then +=-* then push atari symbol again and push /
then push start button to load dir.bas witch is a menu file..
on emulator just load a basic disk w menu.bas then once menu is loaded push 0 to reload dir
then swap disks using emulation change disk option and put the locked disk password protected disk in and just read dir pushing 0
all the password protection is is a basic file i wrote along time ago thinking someone would want a KIOSK file for a museum or something public to use as a menu to logon and load menu to load files but never got around to implimenting it But i did get the sio to rs232 cable working w shareware APE DEMO using a file called ULTRA COPY II I dont know where it came from as my dad got a lot of atari files for helping someone copy a eeprom of a disk drive bios chip..
I did however get a RARE version of Blackjack from the Programmer who programed it himself and he said I could keep my copy!! I also got mydos from him to I dont know weather he wrote my dos but I know he made yhatzee and Blackjack files witch I like..
I also got from my dad when he made a Altair 8800 witch I helped wirewrap from scratch he made a nother one using a back plane board socket and a wood box he made a disk box atari disk drive emulation computer that emulated a Atari 810 disk drive!! it had two tandem flip open drives and a loader cpm disk that loaded the software to run the emulation then he made a ribbon cable to sio to the disk box connector he soldered to the Atari800 and it was cool I had this huge box that emulated two atari disk drives and I could make back up disks of my own software in a snap..
I was mad when he sold the original Altair 8800 and he sold a cpu or memmory pcb from the Disk box and Now it sits in the basement of my dads house not working..
I do still have my original 810 disk drive and it still works great ALTHOUGH once I had to repair it my self One day I was trying to load Frogger disk witch boots automaticly w out basic and then runs the 5200 version of frogger as I have the cassette tape but thats a whole nother story anyway the thing kept making this super loud fart noise it was a drive mech noise not a TV speaker load fart noise but a super loud head lost noise so i ripped it apart all the way to not having a cover case at all ! cause this way I could push on the mech now when it was trying to go out it really wanted to move in so i figured out when it was pushing against my finger trying to go twords my finger more then it really wanted to go away from my finger so fighting the drive mech stepper motor mech i pushed it in against its will and viola BEEP a INFAMUS ATARI LOAD NOISE came from the TV speaker I was like cool awesome I just fixed my own Atari 810 drive with out having to have it serviced then I noticed ok now that i got it to work how to adust it I found the nessisary allen wrench or tork I cant remember I did find the right one to FIT and unpowered when i got that next beep and said ok it went this way so it needs to go that way so i moved the head back where i had pushed it in the middle of where i had pushed it and where it wanted to go so that it was between the both points of it pushing it the wrong way and how mutch i had to force it to beep a nother load bit.. this worked and after finding the best posistion needed to calibrate the head pos I found it good thing the atari beeps every load bit. and that frogger was not encrypted to go from one sector to a nother way on the other side of the disk and back again as I was lucky for that anyway after I calibrated it it seemed to work ever since.
I did this ONCE on a IBM MS MACHINE once and got a floppy to read after lossening the head mech I will NEVER do that again dumb idea although i was able to get it working again using a dos 1 disk I was not worth it alghouth i did it just to see if i could and I could but its sutch a pain I wont do that again .. I never had to align a IBM/ms dos floppy ever I did have to adjust a 5¼ disc drive once cause it was dirty and had not been used for 20 years but it worked I will say laoding atari disks is easyer than loading dos disks cause you can HEAR the bits loading..
also I noticed on the emulation if you dont run as fast as possible and remove a usb stick when loading it stops the same as on atari and farts load error!!! I never got it to successfuly reload on emultion EXEPT when using REAL ATARI 810 hardware w sio cable then it farts and will continue loading!!>..
Good luck recovering youre Atari TO sio Images and enjoy the chirstmas tree and the other PUBLIC Domain games..
DUEL uses two joysticks and basic and is artillery battle where two players take turns firing shell missiles using velocity and angle
the other game is one i typed in from magizine and modified to show glactic score on screen .
then there is FILLER UP one of the Funnest PUBLIC DOMAIN games ever written its way more fun than QIX where it got its roots from but is faster paced and way more fun.
there is a MACHINE LANGUAGE VERSION AND BASIC ONE the basic one is better cause there is no sparks to come down the lines to get you ..
then there is horse race and goblins takes forever to load cause goblins uses special charactor set witch is loaded into the machine language from DAT files and changes the special control shift charactors to look like goblins or horses depending on the game loaded the goblin game is cool once it loads..
then there is a machine lang basic missile command type game witch is fun too ..
also there is some FIXDMP files I got from when my dad made the disk emulation box from Atari Them selfs I got Internal OS+a utilitys like fixdmp witch dumps files to screen using hex editor I once changed dkong to say aw instead of dkong by changing bit by bit on the file listing it was cool takes a long time also you can use fixdmp utility disk to undelete deleted files if the disk has not overwritten the file..
I will repost links to disks of the month and the fixdmp file if i can find the image.
