Loading *.bas games with Atari800Win Plus
I've searched the forums, seen the suggestions - nothing seems to work. Running Atari800Win Plus, any mode, and it crashes if I load a basic game using the "attach tape, override *.cas with *.bas" method. If I load from D: I get a 146 error.
What am I missing???
Thanks in advance - great site! Still have my original Atari 400 and tons of disks I need to go through!

I am trying to load some old basic games I'd played when younger...Trench, Camel, etc. So I loaded DOS, warm reset, got the ready prompt and tried the LOAD "D1:xxx.BAS" - error pops up.
I've tried a few different DOS and Machine versions, with no luck.
Atari Frog - I tried to use the ".cas" to ".bas" switch - it caused the Atari800Win PLus to crash. I am running version 4.0, not sure if that has any implication.

Not sure what you're doing wrong actually...rdefabri wrote:Atari Frog - I tried to use the ".cas" to ".bas" switch - it caused the Atari800Win PLus to crash. I am running version 4.0, not sure if that has any implication.
Is the virtual disk drive off? Did you manage to bypass the message stating that the file isn't a tape image? Do you see the file with the number of blocks when pressing ALT+T? You should be able to CLOAD and RUN it with no hassle.
This definitely works with the latest version of the emulator.
You can also load the files from the H: device but some of them will have to be renamed to a more standard format: LOAD"H:AAAAAAAA.BAS then RUN works.

No, double-clicking doesn't work with these files.deathtrappomegranate wrote:If double-clicking from Windows Explorer doesn't work, it might be worth re-installing the emulator.

Virtual drive is off. I can see the message that says the file isn't a tape image. When I hit "ok" to bypass, the system crashes.Atari Frog wrote: Is the virtual disk drive off?

Seem to be getting similar errors, although this time its 176...frustrating. Sorry to be a pain over this, but now I am determined to figure it out. The emulator works like a champ otherwise, so I am not sure if re-installing it will do much.Atari Frog wrote: You can also load the files from the H: device but some of them will have to be renamed to a more standard format: LOAD"H:AAAAAAAA.BAS then RUN works.

You're right: it crashes. Dang... All is not lost though...
I did notice something weird. Instead of using ALT+T, just click on the "Atari" tab then choose the "tape recorder" option. Follow the same instructions and... it doesn't crash anymore!
