Hi everyone
Haylp! Has anyone had experience of using Protracker with SimCoupe here? I'm
trying to make some sweet music (not with ETracker) and finding the loading
option is broken, crippled or otherwise.
Hi Howard,
I've used ProTracker fairly extensively in Sim Coupe without problems.
I haven't needed to boot MasterDOS first or anything like that. I just boot the
ProTracker disk, let it load to the menu screen, then switch disk for the files
I want to load. In the menu select Disk Op (or ctrl-shift-D) and it should show
a directory listing, then double-tap space on one of the files and it should
load it.
What exactly does is it doing, or not doing, when it fails to load one of your
files?
Andrew
Thanks both,
That's odd. That's pretty much exactly what I was doing. I've managed
to get around it but only by booting to MasterDOS first, then booting
Protracker, then 'inserting' a new SimCoupe disk (ie open from file).
For me there were no errors when I was booting directly from the disk,
and no errors when loading the file. However when loaded, no samples,
ornaments or song data would display. Initially I thought I must not be
saving correctly, but testing some old converted disks ended up with the
same problem. I also redownloaded a fresh copy from World of SAM in
case I'd managed to save to the original app image. But nothing...
Intriguing.
Howard
