| Atari 5200 Emulation - Atari800win |

I'll have to play with jum52 as I think that might be a better solution for me. Doesn't play all the ROMs that Atari800Win can, but it also doesn't ask me what type of cart it is...big plus. As for loading ROMs...first, you need to download all the Atari ROMs, for the 5200, XL, Basic, etc. There's four of them you need total. Then, if you are going to use the UI, it's File-Attach Cart. Otherwise, I've been using the commandline... "atari800win 5200 -cart whatever.bin" I'm going to see if I can use Howard's wrapper to get jum52 to quit with one keystroke. Then I'll be okay I think... |

I have not tried evey game, but I configured MEss and Jum52 for the Atari5200 so hopefully betweenthese two I will be able to play most all of them ..... I believe I tried "Attach Cartridge" but nothing happened ..... might try it again for fun when I get home ... since I would like to try to get the AtariXL games working. Are the AtariXL games considered "-cart" as well from the command line and do these need to have ".bin" extensions as well... |

When you got the 5200 game to load in Atari800Win, then how did you move around the game? I mean what keybaord keys were you using? I know F3 is used for "select" and F4 starts the game, but I can not figure out how to move .... |

For the AtariXL, honestly I have no idea as I haven't tried. I was trying to load just one emulator at a time (prevents me from spending all my time playing games instead of working to load new ones :) Keystrokes, I'm at work so I'll have to check it out again once I get home....I think it was the arrow keys and the right ctrl and the "/", but again I'd have to double check. |

I realize you were only trying to get Atari5200 to work ... however, I was thinking the keymapping would be the same for the Atari800Win for both Atari5200 and Atari800XL games. I guess when I started my Atari800XL games, then I could not move around the screen at all so I was wondering whether you had to do anything special to use the keyboard to actually play the games .... |
