I'm trying to get blitter and cache in the desktop menu now. So far, blitter is stuck turned on, and thats it :lol:


Things would be so much easier if I knew what I was doing :cry: :crazy:

So WERKS or INTERFACE don't seem to show all the RSC file stuff :shrug: but it mentioned ORCS in the sources, so found that and now lists way more stuff..



So likely I am missing the menu items currently even though they are in the code for the most part. .


EDIT:

Ahhh there you are!


What the heck is a SUPERITEM :shrug:


Anyway.. this must be a step in the right direction!

Well thats the desktop menu now broken then :lol:

Going to the OPTIONS MENU makes the whole bar turn black and desktop info link shows up..


With some messing about I did manage to get into the menu somehow..

Looks like you're having a lot of 'fun'

Yep! Trying to hack a 40 year old operating system which I know nothing about, in a language I barely understand! :lol:


:dizzy:

Next, you'll fix everything and it will be 4 bytes too big for the ROM

Oh that's easy, remove 4 bytes from AtariTos and you get tiTs, seems like the obvious solution :lol:

Yeah, theres a whole bunch of stuff in desktop info I can take out :lol:

Oooooooo ORCS said the menu needed reformatting :shrug: then I saved and recompiled, and now the OPTIONS menu behaves!

Now to see if the ticks behave :lol: :fire: :hide: :fire: EDIT: Nope FFS!
