      Hi there,

      So I finally managed to get Atari 5200 game to start (yay!) but gamepads do not seem to work. Well I cannot start a game.

      Maybe I cannot 'press start' on the gamepad?

      Any thoughts?

        @pmdci you have to open the Retroarch menu when you are running a game. Go to Quick Menu, Options, then Controls. Set the player 1 to Atari joystick (or something similar to that). That will allow you to use the start key on your controller.

        Same for the Atari 800 if you are running that portion of the emulator.
