I see. I definitely do have SparkFS loaded - I even put it into the boot/desktop sequence alongside ADFFS itself. I can open archives as if they were directories. Note that I am using the free read-only version which comes with the HardDisk4 image from ROOL. I shall do some digging around to determine what is going on. Thanks for the pointers.JonAbbott wrote:Can you confirm that !SparkFS is running, as it doesn't sound like they're being run through the latest boot scripts. If it can't access the Obey file (<ADFFS$Dir>.Obey.Fxxxx01) it will run the boot script that's embedded in the floppy image and if that doesn't exist will fall back to a SHIFT-BOOT of the floppy.richw wrote:ADFFS starts. I can open the Pacmania disk image and see the files. 'Boot floppy' starts the game, but... instead of one display, I see several of them arranged in a tile.
The boot scripts in the floppy images haven't been updated for the Pi yet, so its essential that the games are run via the boot scripts in !ADFFS.obey - hence the requirement for !SparkFS.
If !SparkFS is running, can you go to an F12 prompt with ADFFS loaded and see what "*ADFRemapVideoMemory 9 80" does. You should be in MODE 9 with no double image.
Any particular reason you compress the obey scripts? LFAU?
As a general approach, I run SparkFS and ADFFS first. Then I take the downloaded game archive from this site, and open it. Inside, I see lots of files, one of which is the ADF floppy image. I extract this to my SD card, set type to floppy, then double-click it. I can see the files in the ADFS Filer window, and just click Boot Floppy.
I found that if I try and mount the floppy image from within the downloaded archive, it doesn't work. I forget the error, but I will try and write it down.
