Hi, so you tried the game with the original Atari ROM and TOS and it does not work? In that case, I should definitely have a look at it. Do the other games (The Queen's Footsteps and Silk Dust) work?
Ah, the game is not meant to replace the ROM in the emulator, there are just two executables (for 40 and 80 columns).
You can try to search for an image of an original Atari ROM and OS disk. Hatari will load it and will behave as the original computer with the Atari OS. Usually I configure Hatare so that to have a shared directory on my OS seen as a hard disk inside the emulated computer. The game files are just executables and can be run with a double click. Try also the other games, I remember spending quite some time developing The Queen's Footsteps on the Atari.
Well, I tried setting it up as a file in a folder as hard drive and launch it from inside the emulator, but that just got me a Panic: Illegal Instruction error. But really I don't know what I'm doing. I'm more confident using the Amiga or C64 versions. Is there any difference, e.g. graphics or such between the versions?
Hi, I'll definitely have to give a closer look at it.
In any case, all the versions come from the same game logic. I usually have two sources: one where the game is split in three separate parts and one where the three parts are in the same file. The Amiga and the Atari use the single file source and the game logic is strictly identical. The C64 version comes from a version that is split in three parts, and it should be nearly identical.
