Atari 5200 not working on 4.3.8 but ok on 4.3.7
-
I have 2 Pi’s. One running Retropie 4.3.7 and one I just updated to 4.3.8. I noticed that the Atari 5200 emulator didn’t show up in the system list after adding the ROMs.
On the Pi running 4.3.7, I didn’t do anything special as far as adding a BIOS or downloading any optional packages. The 5200 ROMs just simply worked.
Is this a issue with the update? If so, is there a way to revert back to 4.3.7? Thanks.

@stonemp did you install the emulator

@herb_fargus I went under optional packages and installed the Atari 800 emulator. Is there a separate one for the 5200? After installing, I still couldn’t get the 5200 to show on the system list.
I did get it to show up on the list after unzipping the ROMs. They won’t play though.
On my Pi running 4.3.7, I didn’t have to download an emulator, BIOS, or unzip any ROMs. I just moved the compressed ROMs into the 5200 folder on the Pi and everything worked.

Then you must have had something magical cause I've always had to extract and copy over/set bios according to the docs

@herb_fargus sigh I feel like it may have been something in the update. I made an emulator system for my brother, sister, and cousin. All of those were the same: 4.3.7, drag over unzipped ROMs, voila!

@stonemp What did you have to install to get the Atari800 emulation working? I don't care about 5200 but they seemed to get mentioned together. I downloaded RetroPie 4.3 a few weeks ago and followed directions but no-go. Granted, the directions & video I saw were for the 3.7 version of RetroPie.
I have all of the Atari ROMS and a bunch of game images (because I emulate atari800 on my Windows PC).
Is there more to the installation then copying ROMs and program image files?
I've visited a ton of links...there's a sea of information out there I'm drowning in.
What part am I missing?
