I uploaded the protracker data disk to WoS: http://www.worldofsam.org/files/active/0/pro%20tracker%20-%20data.dsk -
Do these load correctly? If so then your saved files may have an issue. -----Original Message----- From: owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no [mailto:owner-sam-us...@nvg.ntnu.no] On Behalf Of Balor Price Sent: vrijdag 14 juni 2013 02:11 To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: Re: SAM Protracker loading problem On 13/06/2013 23:08, Andrew Collier wrote: > On 13 Jun 2013, at 19:03, Balor Price <toberm...@cookingcircle.co.uk> wrote: > >> Hi everyone >> >> Haylp!

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
