      Hi,

      got my atario 800/5200 emulation to work, but found some funny side effects. some of the games (well most) are coming up in atari "memo pad" or a menu of disk operating system II version 2.5, with a menu list of various task you can perform (disk dir, format disk, etc)

      I only have the 1 default emulator, just curious as to why this would be happening. Using the lasted pi image.

      Johnny

        Depending on game, you may need to change the machine - some will work only on 400/800, 800XL (64) or 130 XE. Other thing that often helps is to "enable BASIC on boot" in options.

        Of course you need to have all the appropriate bioses in the right place/detected too.
