Hmm,
downloaded this game. Looks good, but how to start the main program ?!?
- With Spacebar one can choose the background area, but how do I start the game ???
I tried Return, Start and Joystick Trigger/Button but they all did not work; the ESC-key gave only a blank screen... so what key starts the game ??? -Andreas Magenheimer.
Hello folks,
at Fandal`s homepage (http://atari.fandal.cz) you can find a lot of programs for download. alas, many of these programs have been converted directly from turbo 2000 tape to diskette. And, as many of you may know, the programs always occupy memory from $0700 upwards. And this is a problem, since none of these programs can be loaded on a real Atari from DOS or gamedos. I tried several gamedos versions (like nano-dos, micro-dos, pico-dos, mypico-dos, micro-sparta-dos) and none of them was able to load such a program.
Ok, so I tried to pack these programs with Code3 Cruncher (2.x and 3.x) to change the memory adress, but this did not work, the packer crashed immediately. Well, there were still Super-Copy and Super-Packer left, but they are limited to 30-32kbytes in size (and I have bigger programs)... so what now ?!?
Is there any kind of relocator or packer program that can change these programs (for example IBMTETRIS.XEX) in such a way, that they *do not use* memory adresses $0700-0BFF, so that they will work at least under a gamedos ?!? Well, I would prefer idiot-proof programs, where one simply loads in the program into the relocator or packer and changes the start adress (or copies it to another adress, like in Superpacker) and the packer/relocator then gives the new end adress and run adress. But it should work with programs that are bigger than 32kbytes in size... and it would be very nice if one could use RAM under the OS (meaning the program should then create/include a small routine to use that memory space, if possible)... any ideas ?!? greetings, Andreas Magenheimer.
Hmm,
but I always use FP 2.1 to pack multi-segments into *one* packed segment. It works, as long as there is no init adress, just one run adress at the end... but I guess thats not what you mean... you are surely talking of multi-segments with several inits after each segment - they cannot be packed with FP this way...
If the total length of a program (Superpacker) or the length of a single segment (DJ-Packer) is a problem, well I always use Fast-Packer first (packs segmentally, uses page 4 to depack) and when it got the program or segment shorter than 30-32kbytes, I use the Superpacker or DJ-PAcker (the one that uses page 5+6 to depack) to pack the program further... Example: a Tron clone (forgot its name), before packing 279 single sectors, one segment and one run adress, cannot be packed with DJ (segment is too long) nor SP (program to long); packed it first with Fast-Packer to 165 sectors, then with DJ down to 121 sectors - the packed program works fine in the end... greetings, Andreas Magenheimer.
Hello folks,
ABBUC decided to do another software contest 2006. Attached you will find the rules in various languages - there is only one change to the rules of 2005: the deadline is the 15th of August (now the same deadline as the hardware contest 2006)...

Reglamento del concurso de software ABBUC 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regeln für den ABBUC-Software-Wettbewerb 2006:
1) Allgemeine Regeln:
Der Abgabeschluß für den Software-Wettbewerb wurde auf den 15. August 2006 festgelegt.
Folgende Preise werden vom ABBUC vergeben: 1. Platz: 500 Euro
2. Platz: 250 Euro
3. Platz: 125 Euro
4. Platz: 75 Euro
5. Platz: 50 Euro
Der ABBUC erhält für die angemeldeten Programme das Erstveröffentlichungsrecht für das Magazin bzw. den Software-Wettbewerb; das Copyright bleibt jedoch weiterhin beim Autor, der sein Programm nach dem Wettbewerb frei verwenden kann. Die Präsentation der Programme wird auf der Unconventional und im ABBUC Magazin stattfinden, die endgültige Entscheidung und Preisvergabe hingegen auf der ABBUC-JHV in Herten im Oktober. Der Autor muß bei beiden Veranstaltungen (Präsentation, Preisvergabe) nicht unbedingt anwesend sein, er erhält den Preis dann trotzdem zugesandt oder überwiesen, sofern dem ABBUC dafür die Postadresse und/oder Bankverbindung vorliegt...
2) Programm Typen und Größe:
Bei den Wettbewerbs-Programmen darf es sich um folgende Programmtypen handeln:
a) Spiel/e, b) Anwendung/en (auch Tools, Utilities, etc.) und c) Betriebs-Systeme (DOS). Nicht erlaubt sind jegliche Formen von Demos oder Intros, sowie Beta-, Vorab-, oder Pre-Versionen (die Programme müssen fertiggestellt sein). Bei der Kompatibilität ist zu beachten, daß die Programme mind. auf einem XL oder XE Rechner laufen müssen, d.h. auf einem Standard 64k oder 128k Atari XL/XE. Es darf zwar Zusatzhardware unterstützt werden, diese darf aber nicht die Voraussetzung zum Laden oder Laufen des Programmes sein. Und ob man es nun glaubt oder nicht, das ABBUC Software Ressort (und auch alle ABBUC Mitglieder) wird (werden) einen ?Qualitäts? und ?Kompatibilitäts? Check aller angemeldeten Wettbewerbs-Programme durchführen...
3) Format und Sprachen:
Das Wettbewerbs-Programm kann auf 5,25? Atari-Disk(s) oder als ATR-Image(s) eingereicht werden, es muß als 90k (SD) oder 130k (ED) Disk-Format bzw. ATR-Image vorliegen. Zu dem Programm muß eine kurze Anleitung vorliegen, diese kann entweder im Programm (intern) enthalten sein oder als Text-Datei (extern) dazugefügt werden. Wichtig ist hierbei, daß entweder Deutsch oder Englisch verwendet wird (und kurz erklärt wird wie das Programm zu laden ist), damit auch jeder das Programm bedienen kann. Es sind übrigens alle Atari 8Bit kompatiblen Programmiersprachen erlaubt, jedoch am Ende nur Kompilate, damit jeder das Programm laden kann. Ausnahmen sind lediglich Atari Basic und Turbo Basic XL - hier sind auch Sources bzw. Listings erlaubt, da diese Sprachen ja jeder Atarianer besitzt. Zu den Programmen bzw. Kompilaten muß keinerlei Sourcecode beiliegen, das fertige bzw. lauffähige Programm ist schon ausreichend...
Also dann, viel Spaß beim Programmieren - euer ABBUC Software Ressort.

Rules for the ABBUC-Software-Contest 2006:
1) General Rules:
The Deadline for the software-contest has been set to 15th of August 2006 (until midnight).
ABBUC will therefore spend the following Prices: 1st Place: 500 Euro
2nd Place: 250 Euro
3rd Place: 125 Euro
4th Place: 75 Euro
5th Place: 50 Euro
For all registered contest programs, ABBUC will get the right of a premiere-release on its magazine; the Copyright will still remain by the author, who can use his program freely after the contest. The presentation of the programs will take place at the Unconventional fair in September and on the ABBUC magazines, whereas the decision and pricing will take place at the annual ABBUC meeting in October. There is no need for the author to be present at any of these events, the price will still be send to the author?s postal adress or his bank account, provided that ABBUC has these adresses...
2) Program Types & Size:
The software-contest programs must be one of the following program-types:
a) Game/s, b) Application/s (also Tools, Utilities, etc.) and c) Operating Systems (DOS).
Not allowed are any kinds of demos or intros, also not allowed are any beta- or pre-versions (meaning the contest programs must be finished). For compatibility reasons one must make sure, that the programs work at least on Atari XL or XE computers, which means standard 64k or 128k machines. Additional or extra hardware can be supported, but it must not be a requirement to own this extra hardware to load the program. Believe it or not, the ABBUC Software Ressort, as well as all ABBUC members, will do a ?Quality? and ?Compatibility? check of all registered contest programs...
3) Format and Languages:
The software-contest programs can be send as 5,25? Atari disk(s) or as ATR-image(s), but they must use Single (90k) or Enhanced (130k) density. Furthermore, the program must have a short documentation, this can be included in the program (internally) or as a separate text-file (externally). It is therefore important, that one uses german or at least english language (and explains shortly how the program has to be loaded), so that everyone can handle the program. All Atari 8Bit compatible languages are allowed as programming languages, but all of them have to be compiled in the end, so that one can load the program without having to own a certain programming language. The only exceptions here are Atari Basic and Turbo Basic XL source listings, since every Atari user owns these languages. Lastly one needn?t supply any source-codes for the contest programs, the finished loadable or executable program is enough...
Happy programming wishes the ABBUC Software Ressort !!

2gie miejsce: 250 euro.
3cie miejsce: 125 euro.
4te miejsce: 75 euro.
5te miejsce: 50 euro.
ABBUC będzie miał prawo do publikacji programów zgłoszonych do konkursu w wydawanym przez siebie magazynie; prawa autorskie pozostają własnością autorów, którzy mogą dowolnie dysponować swoim dziełem po zakończeniu konkursu. Prezentacja prac będzie miała miejsce na imprezie Unconventional we wrześniu, oraz w magazynach ABBUCa, zaś decyzje i rozdanie nagród będą miały miejsce podczas dorocznego spotkania ABBUCa w październiku. Autorzy prac nie muszą być obecni na żadnej z tych imprez, nagroda będzie
wysłana zwycięzcom pocztą lub na konto bankowe, zakładając, że ABBUC będzie posiadał te dane...
2) Typy i Rozmiary Programów:
Programy zgłoszone na konkurs muszą należeć do jednej z kategorii:
a) Gra, b) Aplikacja (również: Program Użytkowy, Narzędziowy itp.) lub c) System Operacyjny (DOS). Wszelkiego rodzaju dema/intra nie są dozwolone, nie są dopuszczalne również wszelkiego rodzaju wersje pre- i beta

Dla zachowania kompatybilności program musi się uruchamiać przynajmniej na komputerach Atari XL lub XE, co znaczy: na standardowych maszynach z 64 lub 128 KB pamięci. Rozszerzenia sprzętowe i sprzęt dodatkowy może być obsługiwany, ale nie może być warunkiem uruchomienia programu. Wierzcie, lub nie,
ale ABBUC Software Ressort, jak również członkowie ABBUCa sprawdzą "jakość" oraz "kompatybilność" wszystkich zgłoszonych prac...
3) Formaty i Języki:
Programy zgłaszane na konkurs mogą być wysyłane jako dyskietki 5,25" lub pliki ATR, ale dopuszczalne są tylko gęstości pojedyncza i rozszerzona. Co więcej, praca musi posiadać krótką dokumentację, która może być umieszczona w samym programie, lub w dołączonym pliku tekstowym. Ponadto istotne
jest użycie języka niemieckiego (lub w ostateczności przynajmniej angielskiego), oraz krótkie objaśnienie sposobu uruchamiania programu, żeby każdy mógł sobie poradzić z obsługą. Dopuszczone są wszystkie kompatybilne z Atari języki programowania, ale produkt ostateczny musi być skompilowany,
aby można było program uruchomić nie posiadając tego języka programowania. Jedynym wyjątkiem są programy napisane w Atari Basicu oraz Turbo Basicu XL, które to posiada każdy użytkownik Atari. Dołączenie kodu źródłowego programu nie jest wymagane, wersja skompilowana i uruchamialna jest wystarczająca...
Miłego programowania życzy ABBUC Software Ressort !!

Questions ?!? Mail to: software[at]abbuc[point]de
greetings and thanks - Andreas magenheimer.
Muad Dib,
did not work on 64k XEGS, also did not work on chinese 64k Atari XE (with newer Os, newer Selftest (c) 1985 Atari and 32kbytes RAM chips). The demo crashed right after the intro-title screen ("Hurek presents Muad Dib") - and this title appeared only as garbage... Strange thing is, on 64k Atari XL and older 64k XE it works correct...
Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
no-one votes for R-Type ?!? I do ! My wishlist for Atari8:
1) R-Type
2) R-Type
3) (old) Prince of Persia
And err, don`t forget R-Type !! ;-)
Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
I have 576k RAM available, so playing YAKF is no problem for me.
But I insist that a 64k RAM version (with multiple disk-loads like in Int. / World Karate) would be very good for all Atarians that have only 64k RAM... Maybe it is possible to load in *one* level / scene / combat screen *after another* and not all of them into RAM... just a thought...
On the other hand, YAKF is a great game !! In my eyes it is the best (besides space harrier) Atari game of the last five, err ten years ... -Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
all prizes (money, money, money) have been sent to the authors recently (including MatoSimi).
There will be another ABBUC Software Contest in 2006 - the rules and the prizes will still be the same, only the deadline will change, think we will choose the 31st of July or maybe the 15th of August 2006...
So, happy programming to all 8Bit Atarians !! Hope to see some many programs from eastern europe (Poland, czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.) in this contest again. Atari programmers from Poland / Czech Rep. / Slovakia are simply the best !! Merry XMAS from ABBUC, Andreas Magenheimer.
hmm,
personally I don`t like Uridium and there are already 6 uridium clones for Atari available:
- vanax/vanadium (or something like that, see atarimania.com)
- an activision game on cart.
- mirax force by Chris Paul Murray (CPM)
- the sequel to mirax force by the same author
- oxygene by german demo crew TAT
- thunderfox (one of the worst games) by Atari
no more uridium clones or conversions, please !!
hmm, personally I would like to see:
- a Super Mario Bros clone (Bros by KE-Soft and/or Monster hunt by MHS are not so great)
- a Sonix clone
- a Prince of Persia clone (meaning part 1, the old 386 and/or 486 PC version, programmed by the same author as Karateka !)
- an R-Type clone (better than Zybex, please!)
- a racing game with realistic computer opponents (simple gfx like Pitstop 1, but realistic or realtime computer opponents and maybe two players or via multijoy 4 players or via multilink/network 4 players, also realistic/realtime); meaning no random appearance of opponents cars; a tournement mode with approx. 8 different tracks and a point system (like in a F1 race)...
or maybe:
- a sequel to fort apocalypse with new and bigger levels
- a sequel to bruce lee with new and bigger levels
- a a sequel to conan with new and bigger levels
- a sequel to Henry`s House with easier levels but the same good gfx
- a sequel to Mousetrap (Tynesoft/MicroValue) with new levels
enough said. Alas, I cannot help here , since I cannot program. But now you have some good ideas... -Andreas magenheimer.
And err,
how about a CMC to MPT converter ?!? Think I read somewhere that something like this was available...
Besides, I do own two strange converters:
1) MD8 to CMC : This converter should convert MD8 sounds into CMC format. Alas, the created CMC sounds cannot be played with any CMC player I have...?!?
2) TMC to MOD: this converter should convert TMC into MOD format, but the same thing here, the created MOD sounds cannot be played with any MOD player I have... ?!?
Does someone know why ?!? If you need these two programs to examine, I can send you a copy!
greetings, andreas Magenheimer.
P.S.: I also would like to have a 1) Benjy-soundmon to MPT, 2) Soundmon Prof. (by T.Karwoth) to MPT, 3) Pegasus Soundmonitor to MPT and 4) Black Magic Composer to MPT converter. I love MPT and it also supports samples...
Well,
the latest version now works on a real XL/XE but has some gfx bugs here and there. And err, well - the game is really tough. How many enemies/adversaries (and backgrounds) are there a) in this release and b) in the original game ?!?
Sidenote: The program requires 320k RAM and XRAM bankswitching. Any chance for a 512k cartridge or at least a ROM / bin. image (with cart bankswitching) that works on a 64k Atari ?!? -Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
it does not matter if I load/save the mentioned files as Autorun.SYS (under MyDOS 4.50 and 4.51) or *.AR0 (under MyDOS 4.53 and newer versions). The problem is always the same: the programs work alright when loaded manually with option "L" and they do not work when loaded/executed automatically as Autorun.SYS or *.AR0 ... Anyone knows why ?!? -Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
when loading some binary files under MyDOS I discovered some strange behaviour: Loading a ML file (*.COM, *.EXE, *.XEX, etc.) with option "L" from the DUP menu works fine, but loading the same ML file as an autorun.sys (*.AR0 under MyDOS 4.53, 4.54 and 4.55) fails... why ?!?
For example:
1) I loaded Neotracker 1.5 with option "L" and it loads fine; when I rename it to *.AR0 (which is the same as Autorun.SYS under Version 4.53 etc.) it loads the file and crashes after a few seconds...
2) Sysiphos: I appended the game to a Basic-off file (Basicoff.OBJ) and with option "L" it loads and runs fine, renamed to *.AR0 it switches Basic off and immediately loads the DUP.SYS...
Can someone explain me why this happens ?!? Or can someone fix the MyDOS autorun please ?!?
-Andreas Magenheimer.

As one can see, the czech and polish atarians reserved good places. And it was (and still is) allowed to send in more than one program for the contest. ABBUC decided to make another software contest 2006. The deadline has not been set yet, but we will inform everyone as soon as we know. The rules will be still the same (only the deadline will change)...
greetings and thanks - Andreas Magenheimer.
P.S.: Mato Simi please contact me !!!
Hello folks,
this is just a small reminder that the ABBUC software and hardware contests will end by the 31 August 2005. If you still have any contributions, get in contact with the software-ressort of abbuc (softwareatabbuc.de) or the hardware-ressort of abbuc (hardwareatabbuc.de) respectively...
For those, who have never heard of these contests, the rules and the available prizes can be found with this link:
http://www.atari-portal.net/modules.php … p;dtId=184
just click on the interested subject and then choose your language (english, german, polish, czech and spanish are available). Well, hope to hear from you soon... greetings from ABBUC, Andreas Magenheimer.
Well,
since no-one else has posted this yet, I am gonna inform you that there is a color JPG viewer for the A8 available here:
http://rjespino.tripod.com/8bit/colrjpeg/colrjpeg.html
The viewer requires 64k and works great in gr. 8 and 15 modes (high + medium resolution with lots of colours). It also supports some kind of Apac mode... greetings, Andreas.
Yep,
but the credits have a small bug (err, better wrong adresses). Please send your software on diskette to:
Andreas Magenheimer
Ernst Ludwig Str. 84
55232 Alzey
Germany
or alternatively send your ATR image(s) to: software at abbuc . de
thank you - Andreas.
Hello Jurgi, hello folks,
can someone translate the text into polish language for me please ?!?
greetings, Andreas Magenheimer.
Hmm,
well, currently I own 512k XRAM (576k RAM total). but believe me, the ABBUC demos all work ok on 320k compyshop (CS) expanded Ataris. I do have a Compyshop compatible Megaram 2 RAM upgrade with 256k XRAM and since this was not enough for me and many polsih demos did not work with it, I extended it to 512k...
Before upgrading to 512k, all ABBUC demos were tested on the 320k CS machine and they worked fine (be sure to switch off BASIC, otherwise garbage appears here and there - hold down OPTION!). One more thing, looks like the emulator is not emulating RAM upgrades well. Rambo and CS are not the same actually. All demos work on the original machine with a CS upgrade but they do not work on an original machine with Rambo upgrade !! Looks like this is different on the emulator...
CS ramdisks have block 26AE (each with 4 banks, total = 16 banks), original Rambo upgrades by ICD did have blocks ACE (each with 4 banks, total = 12 banks). Meaning the CS *added* 256k to the existing 64k, so you got a 320k machine. Not so with the Rambo, it *replaced* the 64k base RAM with 256k, but since 64k are still required as base RAM you merely have 64k base RAM plus 192k extended RAM (total = 256k RAM). In other words: CS is the same as Megaram 1-3, all have a total of 320k RAM, whereas Rambo is the same as Buchholz and Newell, they have only a total of 256k RAM...
Well, now for the emulator: it sets CS as a 320k machine which is correct, but it also sets Rambo as a 320k machine which is not fully correct (it should say TOMS or Atari Magazine here to avoid confusion with original Ataris and original RAM upgrades). Just take a look at my Ramdisk info article (or overview) which should make some things clearer or even more confusing. Finally, only two demos exist that really require 1 Megabyte extended memory: a) the raytracing demo by ABBUC member solocoder of Ace (a stupid raytracing demo that comes on 8 bootdisks) and b) the BRULL sample demo that was released a short time ago...
-andreas magenheimer
Well,
tested YAKF on a real Atari (with 576k RAM) and it did not work - crashes while loading or after de-packing... Hopefully future versions will also work on the real hardware and not only on the emulator... -Andreas Magenheimer.
Hey Jaskier,
your TMC 1.0 to TMC 2.0 converter works only on the PC (under Windoze). Any chance to get such a converter for the Atari ?!? Or at least a converter that works on the PC under DOS ?!? -Andreas Magenheimer.
Hello Epi,
yes I will be patient. And as said before, more important than a plug-in of SAP into NEOtracker are the two mentioned updates. Besides, I tested the SAP player on a 130XE after an american atarian reported me, that it does not work there. Alas, he was right. The SAP player does not work on a 128k Atari (like 130XE), you merely see a short Error message (something like "...sorry not enough XRAM..." or so, it disappears so fast, that I cannot read it) and then you are returned to DOS or DUP. Thats it. This should be fixed fast, as well as the mentioned lack of a DIR option... greetings, Andreas Magenheimer.

Well,
to support Lepix in any way, here is my *.CIN collection (just a collection, I did not paint any of these pix)... -Andreas.
[ Dodano: Thu Jan 13, 2005 19:19 ]
Err well,
I like the Gr. 15 RGB mode (RLE compressed R, G, B pics with up to 64 colors), allthough it flickers quite heavily... -Andreas.
[ Dodano: Thu Jan 13, 2005 19:19 ]
Well,
here is some more support for Lepix, my INT and INP pix collection... -Andreas.
Well,
more important than a plug-in of *.SAP to the NEO-player would be the mentioned updates for the separate SAP-player:
- update the SAP-player, so that it is possible to show a directory...
- make the SAP player work on 128k machines...
When done, I can convert all >1800 SAP files into 8.3 filenames (currently without any directory option this does not make sense to me) for the XL/XE computers with a minimum of 128k RAM... -Andreas.
