      Hi, when my Retropie created the list of ROM folders, do not created the Atari 5200. I tried to put the emulator roms in the bios folders and the games roms in roms/atari5200, like in this video:

      But after rebooting, Atari 5200 still dont show in the horizontal systems list. Is something different I have to do in Retropie 4.02?

        The Atari A8/5200 emu is by far the most unfriendly emulator in the RetroPie universe :)

        The second hope I have for RetroPie's future is a A8 libretro core (the first is of course an UAE libretro core)

          I think you have to install it:

          retropie_setup -> manage packages -> opt -> atari800

          more info here:

            Thanks. I had to install as optional package. I followed the rest of video. Feels like getting a old hardware to work give the amount of time you need to setting Atari 5200 :)

            Is a system to play more out of curiosity. And i love the AVGN Atari 5200 video.
