If you are playing a 5200 game then choose a 5200 cartridge option (Option #5 seems to work). A screen will open up with a bunch of different cartridge options. Navigate to either the Atari 800 or Atari 5200 system on emulationstation and choose a game. Once you have your ROMS and your BIOS files where they belong there is one more step of configurations needed where you tell the emulator where to look for your BIOS files. Place these files in /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS There are 5 main BIOS needed for the Atari800 emulator:ĪTARIBAS.ROM (BIOS for the BASIC interpreter)ĪTARIOSA.ROM (BIOS for Atari 400/800 PAL)ĪTARIOSB.ROM (BIOS for Atari 400/800 NTSC) Place your Atari 5200 ROMS in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari5200 Place your Atari 400,800, ROMS in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/atari800 This one of the more tricky emulators to get set up as it requires a multiplicity of BIOS files and configurations depending on what systems you want to utilise but it seems to run Atari 5200 games pretty well. This emulator emulates the Atari 8 bit family: 400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 130XE, XEGS and the Atari 5200. xfd.gzĪTARIXL.ROM and ATARIBAS.ROM and ATARIOSA.ROM and ATARIOSB.ROM and 5200.rom Atari released a series of 8 bit computers (400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 130XE, XEGS) and a video game console known as the Atari 5200 from 1979 to 1992
