The PC fixer programs also did not work here (since the image was bigger than 90k), but again some of the old A8 sectorcopy programs with manual format/density setting worked fine there. an ATR image with a length of 112kbytes (posted by Heaven some years ago). eu consegui fazer algo de excelente resultado, a ideia era criar algo de ltima gerao.
You will need a sectorcopy program where you can set the density/format manually, since most sectorcopy programs that detect the density/format automatically will see this 140k image as a single density/90k diskette.Īt one time, I also downloaded shortened 130k disk images, e.g. The style of the banners is a bit similar to the Alterra style. Sectorcopy 2, Mycopier! 1.2c, Syncopy, etc. Atari emulators get away with high-level emulation of disk drives because none of Atari's drives allow code uploads, which meant that the 8-bit had none of the crazy stuff seen on the C64's 1541, or even on the Atari ST. UFORCE 800 EPS LX, Ultima 172, Ultima 172 DC, Ultima 182, Ultima 182, ULTR-LITE 2375BH. The main area that's missing here is accurate emulation of enhanced disk drives like the Happy 810. Do not know of a PC program to correct this ATR atm (most fixer programs only test for shortened images that have less than 90kbytes), but one can use several old A8 sectorcopy programs and SIO2PC to copy these images back onto standard 130k disks or images, e.g. FF Neiman Marcus Edition, FG110K1AT, Fiddle II, Fiddle III. Kennedy created Dual/Medium/Enhanced/DOS 2.5 disk-images with 140k in length instead of 130k.
Ultima iii altirra software#
This is an old SIO2PC bug, the software SIO2PC.EXE version 2.x or 3.x (a DOS program) by N. There was a post a few years ago with artifacting screenshots from every Atari model, and it seems that the 800 is the only one that does this - not even the 400 has this effect. Altirra doesn't emulate this yet, because I don't know enough details of how this effect occurs to be able to emulate it and it has to involve some currently unknown nonlinear cause. Now, if you have a plain 800, then yes, you can get blue/green artifacting. The Apple II can produce a 90 degree color shift through a half-pixel delay, which the Atari can't do. Altirra's artifacting engine imitates the XL/XE series, which only produces opposite colors. No, you can't achieve that with the artifacting phase controls. ULTIMA IV (V2,S1).ATR ULTIMA IV (V2,S2).ATR ULTIMA IV (V2,S3). Both should be set to the same approximate settings (600xl/800xl for Altirra, 800xl on the other, both with ntsc artifacting enabled). Should I be able to do that? Or does Altirra need some more internal work on the artifacting routines? Does real hardware get the colors correct like the Apple does? Trees are the correct color on Altirra, the water / frame is the correct color on Atari800. I'm not able to achieve the look I get on Applewin where the landscape is green and the water is blue. In Altirra, with artifacting set to high and the Authentic NTSC color selected I get these, depending on the position of the Artifacting Phase slider.
