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...

Atari800 was first developed by David Firth, in 1995, who released the source code under the GPLv2 license. It started with portability in mind and was ported to several systems. After development of Atari800 stalled several people picked up development of version 0.8.0 independently.
In lr-atari800, Retroarch has these choices within the Core Option System: 400/800 (OS B), 800XL (64K), 130XE (128K) and 5200. See Setting Core Options . Note that since core options override the emulator's own config file, but Retroarch doesn't cover all the sub-options, you can set different versions of BASIC or different BIOSes for the supported systems via the emulator menu.
