Quote from: Petari on 25-07-2025, 10:39:27I just checked - it has regional protection. And I don't see US version at atarimania, only UK .
Will make fixed v. this days, but it will work at 50 Hz refresh rate only .
Thanks!
50Hz solves the problem. Forcing that in the launcher will work.
Much appreciated.

Hello!
It has been discovered that Voodoo Nightmare will not take joystick input on USA version of TOS1.04.
Any chance this can be fixed?
Thank you!

Sure, TOS 2.06 and 3.06 have improved Desktop with more options, functions. IDE autoboot, and 2.06 has 68010 CPU support.

Just little more about LFN filtering: I added it in my hard disk driver later versions. It is present in my iTOS too .  But best is that avoid LFN filenames in case of files and DIRs which are intended to be copied on disk, Flash card, image file and even floppy for using with Atari ST(E), TT, Falcon.
LFN means multiple records in DIR, so waste of space. Especially not good for limited length Root DIR.
Really easy to solve with Total Commander.

Website section updates / Just a "thank you" note to Pet...
Last post by Mayo - 22-07-2025, 19:57:16
I don't think enough people take the time to thank Peter for what he has done for the 8bit website and the time and effort he has put into this project. I refuse to be one of them. I just wanted to personally join this forum and say thank you Peter!

The work and time you have put into preserving these great older games is highly appreciated. I couldn't hardly find any functioning games on any other webistes until i came across https://atari.8bitchip.info

I know people don't think about this but hosting all these games cost money and peter doesnt even ask for donations. I know the second I have a  few extra bucks i will be donating to peter to thank him for his time and effort (and i only found his website a few weeks ago). I do recommend anyone reading this also consider helping this man out. Times are not easy for anyone and someone hosting FREE games for hours of enjoyment for 40 years straight deserves it more than anyone else. I truely hope some people read this and do the right thing and offer peter even a few bucks for the time he has spent enriching your life so you can enjoy the games YOU love.

Anyways Just wanted to put this into the universe as i know there are plenty of other good people that feel the same way i do. Peter I also think you should add a donation page to your website so it's easier for people to give since you have already given so much of your time and love for atari into 8bit.
