      Hello. I have a Pi 3B+. I have downloaded the RetroPie image and it works perfectly fine in most emulators, except in Atari 800. I have installed The Halley Project, Juice! and Salmon Run from Dope ROMs and Cool ROMs; all the other ROMs I've installed from there are OK. So when I for example open Juice!, a blue screen pops up after a while saying:

      Sorry, this program need a real Atari/05. Visit the webpages to find out more.
      

      This happens to all three Atari 800 games I installed. Is there any fix (I've searched the internet, unable to find something except a Reddit post from 2014), or are these games just broken and unplayable? Does Atari 800 even work in RetroPie?
      Thank You.

        Did you add the BIOS files needed for the emulator ?

          Thanks for the reply. How would I add these BIOS files, or where would I find a guide to help me with that?

              Yes. I looked in the docs and I am wondering where I should find these five ROMs. retropie bios.jpg

                @PolarBear123 BIOS files, just like ROMs, are copyrighted assets - they're not distributed with RetroPie and links and request for such items are not within the forum rules.
