I always have "read only" enabled in Steem, and Antago did not boot until i disabled the second disk drive. I don't remember why i enabled the second drive in the first place since i usually have it turned off also

Excellent, so single disk drive and write protect turned on gets the game working. This is a very fussy game! I wonder if it does the same on a real ST?

[kodak80]

I have copied the SCP image of Antago back to floppy disk and tested it in my STE. If the disk is write-protected it works fine. If it is not protected it does the same as seen by darwinmac and does not display a splash screen then drops out to the ST desktop. So the STX is performing the same as the floppy disk.

I have also uploaded the following files to the Atarimania FTP:

Bad Company box scans, poster & instructions
Bismarck[PSS] STX (STX tested & works in both Hatari & STEEM)
MoonBase cover scan & instructions
Pool[Mastertronic (UK)] STX and scans (STX tested & works in both Hatari & STEEM)
Z-Out box scans & instructions

Any chance of updating the Falcon BadMooD page?

It currently refers to a really old version, has a screenshot of the GEM shell rather than the game itself, and the credits are not representative (Johan did work on it at one point, but there were several authors involved in the earliest versions - and I took over much of the dev from v2.xx through v3.xx, and then completed the full game in 2014).

I can supply full credits for both the early viewer from the '90s and the final game as required.

Sure If you want to speed things up please do send the credits and everything else that could help

EDIT: Are the screenshots in your webpage the latest ones? I don't have working Falcon emulation installed at the moment. And we actually have more screenshots, just click one of the Atari logos left or right But anyway more recent screenshots are ofcourse better.

Hi,

AtariMania is a great site for atari/falcon games.
I'm just asking myself if it could be possible to add "Beats of rage" and "Racer 2" on it ?

Regards
Laurent

Ofcourse Your games are awesome by the way We really should be faster to add new stuff but there are million things to do with the current database...

If you want to post anything that helps please do so (credits etc...)

And thanks for your nice comment

[Marakatti]

I've added Racer 1 but ran into problems with the way our system handles screenshots. Franck investigates the problem. I'll add the rest as soon as he can find a fix for it.

Thanks, unfortunately i didn't have as much free time i've hoped so they are still waiting to be added... Sorry about that.

Sorry just noticed this - my site is stale and the images are old, but they will do for now I'll sort out some recent ones for you as soon as I get a few minutes!

File contains Kryoflux, SCP, STX and CTR disks.

[Marakatti]

Thanks, your scans should be now online. Any chance to get scans from full utils disks too?
Also scans or photos from the Rugby League Coach box without disk on top of it would be great. Thanks

I have just opened a few games I purchased and have uploaded the STX disk images I have created for I Ludicrus to the Atarimania FTP. Box images are also included. STX files have been created from my SCP files in the latest version of AUFIT.

This should be the following item on Atarimania:
http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st ... _9601.html

Hope that they are useful. The 2 STX disk files have been tested in both Hatari and STEEM 3.7.0 and work fine.

When the game prompts for press One or Two this seems to be F1 or F2.

[Marakatti]

Thanks. I'm sure they are. I'll check and upload your STX images as soon as i have a day off from work.

[kodak80]

I have uploaded a couple of STX images to the Atarimania FTP:

I have uploaded a STX and images for Viz - The Computer Game [16 Blitz] to the Atarimania FTP. Sorry, no box images as I only have the disks and manual.

This budget version of the game is not currently listed on the Atarimania site.

[kodak80]

Another STX disk image: Enduro Racer by Activision has been uploaded to the Atarimania FTP. Converted from Stefan's SCP image.

About After the war, i have found this on the original disk 1 protected track :

"1989 - Sistema de Proteccion de DANIEL RODRIGUEZ"

Can you add this on the after the war page on atarimania ?

[kodak80]

I have uploaded the box & disk artwork along with the manual for Jug [MichTron] USA:

Just been testing Atari ST Review issue 33 cover disks which contain Easy Text Professional install. Looks like the original cover disks had a broken installer. Atarimania has the broken disks which do not work:

Exxos has worked on these disks and he has created 2 working disk images in ST format:

I have uploaded STX images, images of disks and also the colour key card.

AsterixOperationGetafix-D2 (kodak80).jpg

[kodak80]

But...But... we've got got pirats on board

"No piracy on board , only ppl preserving titles : huge thanks again ".

Is the issue the colour key card? If so please remove it although it is already on another title on the Atarimania site which was why I included it:
http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st ... 25245.html

The STX images are of my original floppy disks and NOT pirated. I just did not have the box or documentation with them. Not sure I like being called a pirate.

[Marakatti]

He was just joking Don't worry about it

Many thanks again

Here is an STX created from my SCP dump for The Ninja Warriors [Virgin Games]:

https://mega.co.nz/#!QQlQQZqb!BnBebzmZq ... Nh9phn8zPg

STX works in Steem 3.7.1 as does the SCP dump. STX probably needs further testing by others before being added to Atarimania. Here is the link to the game on Atarimania:
