Problem Setting up Atari 5200
-
@dsquared open the gamelist file for a5200 and see if there is anything in it. Sounds like a permission issue. If it finds the games, it should create and write a gamelist.
If there is no gamelist or folder for it, check the permissions for the main folder and change them so they can be accessible to everything.
See if that helps. The config file is only if the games don't scrape at all. If the A5200 is found in the systems list, and the games are found by the scraper, you're good.

Ok, I got it working - I tried updating the permissions on /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelist/atari5200/gamelist.xml - I kept getting
Error parsing XML file /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/atari5200/gamelist.xml
So I renamed that file and tried again and emulationstation created a new /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/atari5200/gamelist.xml file that saved the images & descriptions.

@dsquared ok. Cool. I was leading to that "error parsing" message. I did the same for mine as well when. I got it
I'm glad it's working for you.

Hello everyone,
How can I set default controller on RetroArch for Atari 5200 emulator to be Atari Joystick instead of RetroPad?
RetroPad doesn't work only Atari Joystick works.
Right now I have to change it every time I play an Atari 5200 game and it won't save it.
Regards

@JuanZt set it, then choose Save Core Override. Or, find the line in the .cfg and manually edit it.
