Updated install instructions.
Hi Frederick, great to port some of your games to the Atom.
I tried to start the disk but it's completely empty?
Hi This game used both .dsk and menu files (description was in install .txt file) but I will post details in comment:
1."Menu"file must be placed in mmc folder.
(As example V0.7.10\Suite Atom\Atomulator\mmc).
2.Then .dsk file must be opened in atomulator then print"menu
This the only method that worked for me when tested this game.
Well, you don't need a disk file.
The Atom Suite and emulator are working like this:
- Write your game in MPAGD
- Build the game and the emulator is started
- Go to the V0.7.10\Suite Atom\Atomulator\mmc directory
- Rename the MENU file to e.g. ALIEN
- Press F12 in Atomulator, type *ALIEN and press ENTER
Now you can copy ALIEN in the ..\MMC directory, start Atomulator and type *ALIEN
There is also an autostart in AtoMMMC:
- Write your game in MPAGD
- Build the game and the emulator is started
- Go to the V0.7.10\Suite Atom\Atomulator\mmc directory
- Copy the MENU file
- Place MENU in the ...\MMC directory
- Start Atomulator and press SHIFT-F12 to run the game
A file called MENU is always executed when pressing SHIFT-F12 in Atomulator, or type *MENU
Thanks. Updated files for all 3 acorn games.
Step 3 should be:
3.Type *ALIEN and push enter
There should be an asterix before ALIEN
