Atari ST core doesn't always launch

Unread post by Eisengrim »

My Atari ST core is working less and less frequently. I have my settings and TOS file in place, and the core usually launches. If it doesn't, then an ODS Cold Boot usually does the trick and gets me past the black screen. If Cold Boot doesn't work, then ODS Reset will work and get me to GEMDOS. Today it's not working at all, no matter what I do and I haven't changed any configs.
Anyone have any idea why this core would work intermittently, then not at all, with the same config?

Could be your TOS file doesn't quite match your hardware settings. I've had similar problems with this core but never had time to research this properly.
