Oct 9, 2020 · For disks, you are missing a couple, e.g. Altirra's save disk dialog: Cartridge files are typically ROM, BIN, or CAR - the first 2 being the 'dump', e.g. exactly 8K, 16K, 128K in size, and the CAR includes a 16 byte header before the dump which (primarily) describes to an emulator or multi-cart's fimrware which mapper it should use.
Method #1: (Using APE or APE'98, the Atari Computer, and a real Atari disk drive) Load APE and attach your APE interface, being sure to verify it is working. Attach your real Atari disk drive to the SIO bus, configure it as drive 2. Turn on the real disk drive. Load the APE_WARP.ATR image into drive 1.

There are 5 main BIOS needed for the Atari800 emulator: See Advanced Config below for other alternate BIOSes which may be required to run certain software. Place these files in
In both emulators, the atari.cfg file is shared between Atari computers and the 5200. In lr-atari800, the core options likewise apply to both by default. 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. Make sure you have a file called /opt/re...
BIOS setup
Make sure you have the appropriate system files in RetroArch's system directory: Then, load a content file. The Atari800 core should boot to the 'Atari Computer - Memo Pad' screen. 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. Now you can manually select what Atari system you want to emulate through the 'Atari System' core option. Finally, you can load any...
Options
The Atari800 core has the following Core Options (see Setting Core Options). Settings with (Restart) means that core has to be closed for the new setting to be applied on next launch.
Controllers
Device types The Atari800 core supports the following device type(s) in the controls menu, bolded device types are the default for the specified user(s): User 1 - 2 device types Controller tables Joypad and analog device type table If your controller is set to “Atari Joystick” you will have the following mappings: Keyboard device type table See the section below for Atari800 keyboard controls, they are the same.
BIOS setup
Navigate to either the Atari 800 or Atari 5200 system on emulationstation and choose a game. Either a screen will open up with a bunch of different cartridge options, or the game will crash. If you are playing a 5200 game then choose a 5200 cartridge option (Option #5 seems to work). You will then get a warning telling you that it needs a real Atari OS. (You need to legally own the 5200 hardware to have the BIOS). Then press F1 to open the menu and navigate down to "Emulator Configuration" an...
If it freezes up on you on the cartridge screen then try rebooting your pi and try again. If it keeps failing you either have the wrong BIOS, your ROM isn't compatible, or you chose the wrong cartr...
BASIC and games
The Atari 400 and 800 systems ran a Memo Pad when you turned the machine on without loading a program or having a cartridge inserted. The BASIC cart was packed into the box. All the XL and XE models came with BASIC built into the machine. This meant that when booting the system, you had to tell the machine "the BASIC cart isn't actually plugged in" whenever you wanted to load anything else. This was accomplished by holding down the Option key while booting. If you didn't load anything, you en...
Booting Atari 5200 cartridges
Often when you boot an Atari 5200 game, it gets stuck at the Atari logo, or just crashes, or it asks you to specify a cart type. There's a bunch of kinds, and they all have to do with how much memory was embedded in the cart, and how many chips that memory was using, and what order the banks were in, etc. There is supposed to be a header on the cart that tells the machine how to interpret it, but lots of cart dumps don't have the header. The emulator, though, has the facility to create carts,...
Missile Command and Gorf on the 5200
Don't expect Missile Command, Gorf, and other games that use analog absolute position to work correctly with your controller. Both emulators mimic this analog controls using a mouse, and this may not work well in either core.
