Alright i know how to do it now. Just wondering if the bios has to be zipped and the game should be called DISKA and the extension is .msa

is this right?

[ron]

Well, some more .msa files must be probed, at the moment we know that the emu loads .msa, that means that should work fine, in any case try .img or .dsk and DO NOT USE EXTENSION FOR THE FILE, Just name it DISKA and make sure is in the same root that the 1ST_READ and the ROM (thats the name of the TOS ROM).

Thanks for the release ron!

just a recap, in the root of your cd it should be

1st_read.bin - emulator image
rom - your tos bios, no extension
diska - your disk image

[qatmix]

I get teh TOS screen but ti will not read the DISKA. Its years snce I had an ST but do you have to do anythign to run the disc as clickign the DISK =A Icon opens a blank window. The game is Lotus esprit Turbo2 by gremlin. They have made all of their games for Atari ST free so its not Warez BTW

moved to official forum

Right now it auto loads the disk image when it loads up, so if the game is autoboot, which i'm certain lotus esprit is, then it you'll see it come up.

If not, you should load up the disk, select the floppy disk a icon, executables are usually, *.prg and *.tos

Remember it has to be named diska (no extension)
