Some questions about VAPI, AtariWin and Gamebase frontend
Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2008 5:30 pm
Hi,
1. Is the VAPI project still alive? It's been quite a while since the last VAPI dump was posted.
2 Why is it that in some VAPI dumps both disks are ATX files (e.g. Conan, Gruds in Space) while in others (e.g. Mask of the Sun, Serpent's Star) only the first file is an ATX file and the others are ATR ones?
3. In the AtariWin emulator, what is the Palette that's closest to the original Atari colors? The one called Default or the one called Real? Do I have to use the 'apply adjustment' option with any of those selections?
4. Also, when using artifacting in monochrome games, which option is the closest to what an original NTSC Atari computer would produce.
5. I'm using the Gamebase frontend to launch the Atari games. When using ATX or ATR files, everything works perfectly as the frontend changes the game without having to close the previous one. It uses the same emulator window that's open.
Does anyone know if it's possible to do the same with ROM or CAS files. So far I haven't been able to load one of those games directly with the frontend. I always have to go to the emulator menu and select the appropiate loading function.
Many thanks for your help.
