Atari Emulator Keyboard Navigation (setting up the 5200)
-
Some mild success..
Starting from scratch, I deleted the retroarch.cfg file from the atari5200 folder, and miraculously, I regained the ability to "scroll" up/dn through the emulator choices.. Very weird.I then followed the steps found in an online video..
Very straightforward. I then discovered issues with the check sums for the ROM's I had, which I quickly resolved by selecting a different "set" I had found elsewhere.
Viola!
I was able to play 90% of the games I had! -
@bumperscoot Now that you have it working, back up your image and try the setup for the A800/A5200 above.
It works really well once it's set up. I've had mine set like this for 2 years and counting. It's just great to see the A800 games look as they should. They won't any other way.
Glad its all working for you!

Unfortunately the sound of the Atari800/5200 games (lr-atari800) is bad.😟
-
@buzztea When you say bad, what do you mean? Not like the original? Bad like it's not working? Be more specific.
I thought it sounded pretty accurate from what I remember. It's not going to be 100%, neither will the video, it's emulation. Only 100% will be a true A800 hooked to a 13" TV

Unfortunately, the sound comes out of the speakers very poorly. it doesn't sound "clean". But only with the "lr-Atari800" emulator. Everything is fine with the standalone "Atari800" Emu. -
@buzztea Most likely you stumbled upon this issue, which is still not solved upstream.

The problem is well known:

@buzztea Yes, you're right and if you scroll to the bottom of the very thread you posted ...

It doesn't work.After step 3 comes the message:
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ cd /home/pi/RetroPie
-bash: pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup: No such file or directory -
I solved the problem. It was easy. An update from the lr-Atari800 emulator helped.
