DCaSTaway

WHAT IS NO IMPLEMENTED
- Mode Monocrhome
- packs & msa disks DOES NOT WORK
- SOUND not implemnted yet.


OK we hope to include MSA and Pkg files support in next versions

Ok, I managed to try another image. Good stuff. I have a few questions.

What port should the Keyboard be in? Does it only work in port 1? What is the mapping for the Emu? Ports 1 n 2 Controllers, and 3 Keyboard and 4 mouse?

Are you lookign at adding steffs 68K core? Obvioulsy this will help you speed things up. Also Have you spoek to Tyrell of The Seccy emu on the DC as his emu runs 128K spectrum emulations with sound, and its the exactly teh same sound chip in the 128 spectrum as the Atari ST.

Im lookign forward to seeign this full speed with sound.

Cheers

DCastaway is early stage, no virtual keyboard, no file manager, and no error management :D

About .MSA... don't work but I got MSA2ST app (google search) but it's a MS-DOS RealMode app (win9x). Anybody runs this app?

AH okay so i got the black screen cause it does a direct load of the rom lol i thought it loaded that filemanager that was shown in the download section of Dreamcastaway and now one more question what about .ST downloads

If you are looking for a legal TOS (ST ROM) you can use EMUTOS. It's Opensource and free and can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/emutos.

Please, follow the rules respect to illegal images and piracy.

MSA Converter is a utility intended to convert and handle the files
images of diskettes for emulators ATARI ST. It functions under Windows
95 and more. It also makes it possible to visualize some formats of
Atari images directly since the images discs or the hard disk.

The principal functions are:

The exploration of image disc with addition/suppression/visualization
of files M
The conversion of format of images disc (ST, MSA, DIM, STT)
The conversion of files ZIP into image disc ST or MSA
The posting of the state of the clusters of an image disc
Compression ZIP of multiple single files
The search for files let us double
The creation of virgin images discs with many parameters

NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS
-------------------

- autoframeskipping has changed to the 25 option and now fps
with amazing, very smooth results works constantly to and drawn of
screen much more faster (we have detected that in certain games some
fused backscreen are irregular, but does not prevent the correct
execution and playability of emu.)

- the DISKB has been added and is obligatory that that is in the same
root of CD, ROM and DISKA so that emu works. (Very Important)

- Now the floppy disks of Atari go to ram, being faster, faster the
execution and the speed in the reading and the writing of such,

READING and WRITING in the floppy disks. (is 100%)

* When not being in the CD else in ram, this it considerably
increases to the speed when making the together disc change and power
to have several games to become a collection wonderful and not to have
to change the CD (you remember that the greatest discs of the 720 ST
are of Kb, take a look if tons of them in a CDROM fit to you)

- KEYBOARD, MOUSE and JOYPAD are functional in Dreamcast 100 %
(Highly recommended to use keyboard and mouse Sega DC)

Atention:
A = JOYSTICK BUTTON
B = RIGHT MOUSE
X = UP JOY
Y = LEFT MOUSE
START = Start Game (Enter in Atari ST)


NEXT IMPLEMENTATIONS
--------------------
- LOad and Save to VMU games and disks.
- GUI and Graphical MENU for emu configuration.
- File Manager to change Game / PRG
- MSA & PKG support
- SOUND

Thats wicked i might wait for the FileManager to be released. I am also still having problems. Today I tried the UK version TOS 1.4 still didnt work. I also got Outrun and changed it to DISKA and still having a problem. I think i am doing this correctly but i am still getting a black screen.

I'm unable to run it with DC coders cable, it freezes when the binary is 100% loaded, does it only run from CD, and not with dcload's cd emulation? (I don't have blank cd-r's now)
