This must be really simple, but stupid as I am, I dont' get it :( If my favourite game has two or more atr-images (side a and side b side n), how do I "change the side" while loading? So how to keep the previously loaded atr-image in memory and get back to the image space menu?

If you have these setup in "Image Space", CTRL-SHIFT-1 through 9 will switch to different images, number 1 being the one you booted via the Mr.Atari (START) image manager, or my own image manager. Number 2 being the next image slot, 3 being the next after that, etc...

The key is to copy your disk images to consectutive slots in image space.

Oh, and there is a sticky thread here that documents all the keypresses and what they do.

Hi Olli (Finland?)

Yes;
First you have to copy the ATR in sequence to the CF-card.
Then boot with the image-menu disk 1 or A.
When the program askes for (example) disk 4, press
SHIFT+CONTROL+4 simultaniously.

Tip;
Include a empty ATR at the end of the game disks.
When you want to save your progress, select the empty ATR.
Do not forget to press SHIFT+CONTROL+U to unprotect the image.
(Images are write protected when in use)

Cheers,
Sijmen.

To save space and put (40%) more images on the this small 32mb CF-card:
select 720 sector images in Fdisk.
This will limit the image size to 720 sectors, but hey only a few 1040 sector disks are out there :-)

You have to redo the uploading with myidetool.....

Cheers,
Sijmen.
