Is the ATARI5200 emulation of the ATARI800 broken?
-
@jamrom2 yeah I'm grabbing the TOSEC set now, fingers crossed.

@jamrom2 no good. I give up. not like I play 5200 anyway. so frustrating.
edit: for example, on the cartridge code list it tells you how to convert cartridges using the emulator using nifty codes. except most of those codes don't exist. Pitfall! is an example of this. there is no 8kb option at all.

@tobas don't give up yet.
So you have the correct a5200 bios in the BIOS file. Did you try a few of them to make sure it's not the BIOS. Now, you start a5200 (a game that works always seems to be BallBlazer) Do you have the done?
If you don't have this file in the location it's supposed to be in, and named properly... the two emulators (well, one really... two branches of it) will fight for control of the emulator config file.
Make sure you have a file called /opt/retropie/configs/atari5200/retroarch-core-options.cfg with this in it:
atari800_artifacting = "enabled"
atari800_cassboot = "disabled"
atari800_internalbasic = "disabled"
atari800_keyboard = "poll"
atari800_ntscpal = "NTSC"
atari800_opt1 = "disabled"
atari800_opt2 = "disabled"
atari800_resolution = "336x240"
atari800_sioaccel = "enabled"
atari800_system = "5200" -
@jamrom2 thank you so much for trying to help me. it seems 5200 emulation just isn't in the cards for me.
I actually found the old image had backed up on a card in a drawer. I booted it up and 5200 worked without a hitch. I figured, jackpot, I'll just transfer the settings and configs to my current image. no dice.
short of finding a pre-converted 5200 romset somewhere I don't think it's going to work out.
