Atari800macx roms code#
Running the code an an NTSC machine doesn’t give me the proper display because of the difference in PAL and NTSC timing. Here’s an ATR image of a disk with the BASIC code as well as the SCRAM loader, if you’d like to play along at home. Some quick edits, and typing in the rest of the code, and I’ve re-created my original BASIC program. I’m trying to address this challenge with minimal use of emulators, but I don’t have a working 410 cassette player (belt rot), so I used Atari800MacX to grab the loader from the cassette and transfer it to a floppy. I ‘borrowed’ the fuji logo from the cassette loader portion of Atari’s SCRAM program (a fun little nuclear power plant disaster simulator).
I’ll use the same technique that 15-year-old me used all those years ago – I’ll steal it. The code displays the Atari fuji logo created with character graphics, but it’s difficult to figure out the individual characters from the listing. It’s only 34 lines of BASIC, but there’s a bit of a problem. My original cassette tapes are long-gone, so all that’s left is the code listing as printed in magazine. In order answer my challenge from 32 years ago, I need to get the original Colourflow code into an Atari.
