Atari ST Cartridge Port Working?

Unread post by pepito »

Hey!
I'm wonder if the cartridge port works on this CORE?
I've tried to load up files on it including .zip or .bin extensions without success.
I cannot find any doc about this cartridge on the wiki.

I have ultimate_ripper_1_2.stc and it is not recognised using the last ST core.
I can't find any .BIN image cartridge files to test.

A couple of notes to get Ultimate Ripper running...
1. TOS must be 1.04 or lower
2. If you just changed TOS version, detach the cartridge and do a Cold Boot.
3. Attach the Ultimate Ripper cart and a Floppy Image ***IMPORTANT***- Ultimate Ripper Menu won't come up if there is no floppy attached
4. Exit the OSD and do a CTRL+ALT+ALT to do a warm restart.
5. Screen will most likely be garbled, Press F1 and wait for menu to come up.
6. From there, you can Press F10 to exit and boot up the floppy, or if it's blank, boot up into the TOS desktop.
7. Once you load up the program you want to rip from, do another warm restart (ctrl+alt+alt) and then Press F1 again to get back into Ripper menu.

I hope that helps.

I'm going no where with this cartridge port...
Firstly, Cartridge Image must be .BIN and not .STC according the dev Mr. Sorgelig.
Secondly, When I move to TOS1.04UK, 1mo STF, I attach a floppy image game the do CTRL+ALT+ALT to do a warm restart.
nothing happen , only the game is loading normally. I pressed F1 to have the Ultimate ripper menu, but do nothing.
BTW, I'm using the very last ST CORE from yesterday.

Here is what I am using:
Main : 20221007 release
Atari ST : 20221007 release
ultimate_ripper_1_2.stc: SHA256: 75D7A17ACA794723FFACCC805E0916C1C998B16082249429A19D38567A0A8721

I am using US based TOS images, but that shouldn't matter. I have tried it with 1.04 and 1.02.
If you change your configuration, especially your TOS version, do a cold boot from OSD menu before you attach the cartridge.
Once cold boot was performed, attach the cartridge and floppy and do the ctrl-alt-alt
Here is some screenshots of one of my config and the cartridge loaded with just a blank floppy image.
