You probably want this on but a few games will fail to load with it on.Ĭauses a. Settings with (Restart) means that core has to be closed for the new setting to be applied on next launch. The Atari800 core has the following Core Options (see Setting Core Options). To set per-ROM Core Options, see Setting Core Options per-ROM. Then you can exit the emulator by pressing F9 and then try the game again or press Shift+F5 to reboot the game. Then press Escape a few times to go back to the 'Emulator Configuration' section and select Save Configuration File or alternatively change Save configuration file on exit from no to yes. (Press Enter to confirm menu selections and press Escape to go back a menu). From there, You can go to the 'Emulator Configuration' section and then the System ROM Settings section to configure BIOS options. While the Atari800 core is running, you can press F1 to get into the internal emulator menu. Now you can manually select what Atari system you want to emulate through the 'Atari System' core option.įinally, you can load any content files compatible with the system chosen through RetroArch's Load Content menu.Īlternatively, you can manually configure how the Atari800 will look for and handle BIOS files. The Atari800 core will generate a '.atari800.cfg' config file in RetroArch's home directory and will add the required BIOS files it detects in the system directory to the config file. The Atari800 core should boot to the 'Atari Computer - Memo Pad' screen. Make sure you have the appropriate system files in RetroArch's system directory: ~/RetroPie/BIOS If you are using lr-atari800 you will want to set the controller type to “Atari Joystick” and not “RetroPad” in order to get all the keys mapped to your controller. Please be sure to read through the docs below specific to each emulator version. See "Advanced Config" for solutions to problems booting 5200 games. Make sure you have a file called /opt/retropie/configs/atari5200/retroarch-core-options.cfg with this in it: atari800_artifacting = "enabled" However, for either emulator, if you have a core options file in your atari5200 directory, it will let you have separate settings for just the 5200 system.

In lr-atari800, the core options likewise apply to both by default. In both emulators, the atari.cfg file is shared between Atari computers and the 5200. It varies based on the emulator, so look below to those sections for instructions. Once you have your ROMS and your BIOS files where they belong there is one more step of configuration needed where you tell the emulator where to look for your BIOS files. Place these files in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS See Advanced Config below for other alternate BIOSes which may be required to run certain software.

There are 5 main BIOS needed for the Atari800 emulator: BIOS name Place your Atari 5200 ROMS in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari5200 Place your Atari 400,800, ROMS in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari800 The lr-Atari800 core is currently the default in Retropie. Because of this, setup is substantially similar, with some differences.

This can be one of the more tricky emulators to get set up as they require a multiplicity of BIOS files and configurations depending on what systems you want to utilise but it seems to run Atari 5200 games pretty well.Ītari800 is currently a port of version 4.1.0, whereas lr-Atari800 is based on version 3.1.0. These emulators emulate the Atari 8 bit family: 400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 130XE, XEGS and the Atari 5200. opt/retropie/configs/atari5200/retroarch.cfg opt/retropie/configs/atari800/atari800.cfg or /opt/retropie/configs/atari800.cfg on older releases xfd.gzĪTARIXL.ROM and ATARIBAS.ROM and ATARIOSA.ROM and ATARIOSB.ROM and 5200.rom
