Atari 7800 roms keep resetting at Start screen?
« on: January 27, 2013, 12:11:28 pm »
When trying to play a few of my Atari 7800 roms using Mess (ie. - Choplifter), they keep resetting at the Atari logo screen (the one that scrolls different colors).  The game never gets past this screen.  Any ideas?

Thanks

What program are you using to emulate? If it's MESS I'm having all sorts of problems getting it to recognise the 7800 at all.

Yes, I am using Mess.  Some of the roms work, but many do not.  The same roms do play in ProSystem.

Just tested mine and it works fine with Choplifter!. Be sure to have a good CRC for cart and bios. I am using 0.119 (my cab is an old rig.) I start it with "a7800 -cart "%path%\%rom%.%ext%" -skip_gameinfo -nonewui"
