Most liked posts in thread: BASIC program on ATR image disk

Thank you, Rich and Andy. The disk image is probably corrupted. I'll contact the person and ask for a zipped archive containing the ATR file. Maybe the disk image got corrupted while transferring data through e-mail.

Again, thank you for your time, trying to make it work.

 

The disk image was indeed corrupted. I had a confirmation from the sender, a guy who typed in a game from a magazine and wanted to contribute to RMW's new project RetroLIPS, which is aiming to collect all the old listings taken from magazines. This was a platform game written in Atari BASIC. The guy sent me another ATR file and this time it worked first shot.

 

On it

 

I have tried 3 emulators and several DOS'es and had no joy, it keeps saying Zero sectors free.

 

AspeQT shows nothing when the disk is mounted and you try to explore it either....

 

I also have that and its almost blank bar a sector at the beginning..

I'm sure I got it off the AA forums, wish you could search by attachments on there...

 

Sincerely, if I could write it to a real disk and try it out on my hardware I would, Dazza, but as Rich is finding, it doesn't sound like it would work anyway. What a shame. Perhaps get the guy to re-try and re-send?
