Sorry @exxos An Atari STFM with 4MB Marpet using the UltraSatan with PP Driver. Using exxos TOS 1.04 ROMS.

Monitor is an NEC Multisync EA193Mi

I tried it with nothing in the cartridge port and it made no difference. Put it through the OSSC to my ASUS monitor via HDMI multiplied 5x and no difference.

I don't know if there's a setting that could fix this.

I'm going to get a small CRT for my living room at some point and chromecast things to it. When I get a CRT I will try it with the Atari.

All mandatory fixes applied and new exxos power supply fitted/old RAM removed.

What TOS are you running under? Tried different ones? And nothing in AUTO of course.

TOS 1.04 with nothing in AUTO. Tried to add TOS version in my description and it hasn't worked. Will add that now.

It's too big. It's like 2MB. Got the not enough room on disk message.

I wonder if it is because your STFM was NTSC?

Oh. Maybe. I'm really interested to see how it looks on a colour CRT. I've only ever had a Hi-res Monochrome. Only Atari I've seen on a colour CRT was a 2600 since I was a kid in the 80's lol
