Well compatibility settings don't work. Doesn't appear to matter what options I try. Here's the log:

STATUS INFO : @ 12:15:34 MSG : Starting Application IN : Initialization
STATUS INFO : @ 12:15:36 MSG : Terminating Application IN : Finalization

Mmmmm, it seems that compatibility mode isn't so ...

I have tried compatability settings. Should it work with XP?

Yes, I it should run with no problems on Windows 95 / 2000 / XP / Vista / Windows 7.
If you coulnd't run it, check this walkthroughs made by the gammers:

Atari - Programmed in C and Assembly :

I downloaded the Windows version. The screen briefly goes black and then the program returns to Windows. What gives?

It's a bit old (year 2003), works on Windows 7 but unfortunately It doesn't work on Windows 8 and Windows 10, sorry.
It's another project for me :)


I have tried compatability ...

I have no idea. Run tests and see for yourself. What are you writing and what is the intended platform?

Hehehe, I'm writing nothing useful, just a simple shooter.
I've made a shoot'm'up for Windows, Amiga, Atari and Speccy and now I'm converting it to MS-DOS, VGA and SB using C and assembly for ...

I did a bit of searching: you should be able to find a copy by typing "helppc abandonware" in Google. Let me know how it turns out, okay?

I have downloaded HelpPC 2.10 and in fact I remember using this very useful tool in the early 90s. Good memories :)

Well, if I didn't get it wrong and ...

I see "dec cx" followed by a JNZ instruction. I believe the LOOPNZ does both at once. Just a tip. Wikipedia has a fairly decent overview you may want to look into at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings#Original_8086/8088_instructions
Yeap, It really makes sense, thanks ...

Hi;

Thank you very much for your great help and nice explanation :)

I have made a little shooter for Windows, Amiga, Atari and Spectrum and now I'm converting it to MS-Dos using assembly, so efficiency is very needed. You can check my little game here: http://sardonic.planetaclix.pt/

By the way ...

Yeah, reverse engineering your way through a decompiled piece of code, without any assembler provided labels or comments written by the original developers is not a easy thing. I've tried decompiling a few 6502 programs, and made some headway looking for RTS calls to return from a subroutine. I ...

Hi Peter, welcome to the forums!

x86 assembly is very interesting, just not my personal cup of tea. I'm more of a 6502 programmer. What made you choose to go to x86 assembly from programming in a high level language such as VB.NET? Just out of curiosity for how to talk to the hardware?


I have ...

I am a vb.net developer who mostly dabbles in personal projects in his spare time. Started using computers during the mid 80s, mostly gaming and learned programming in Qbasic on a 386. My projects mostly include personal attempts at game development, database related stuff, small finance related ...
