    How to disable eMMC and M.2 disk, if need

    in VCS PC-Mode Discussion

    Vous pouvez donc désactiver eMMC sans désactiver m.2 ? chaque fois que j'essayais, il semblait que les deux étaient désactivés.

     

    Est-il possible de modifier l'ordre de démarrage pour que eMMC vienne après m.2 ? De cette façon, je pourrais installer un gestionnaire de démarrage sur m.2 sans modifier l'eMMC ni avoir besoin d'une clé de démarrage USB

    No, eMMC first boot. Yes you can disable either.

    Locked out of bios?

    Atari VCS BIOS password reset
    The BIOS password on the retail consoles requires flashing the BIOS back to 1.0.21 to set it to the “Celerbrate” password that it is out in the wild.
    The guide and recovery image can be found at the following link. For the most part the guide is not very useful other than to tell you how to create the recovery flash drive, so I would refer to for those steps.

    There are steps you have to do that aren't in the guide, and you will need a keyboard connected to your Atari VCS to complete these steps. If you don't have a keyboard it will only flash the Atari OS not resolve the issue.
     With the power off, plug in the USB drive and connect a keyboard to your Atari VCS
    You need to use the keyboard and select the flash BIOS option from the menu that appears on the screen when you power on your Atari VCS with the Atari OS Recovery USB drive the you created from the downloaded image (if you don't select anything then it will just flash the Atari OS). From the menu select "BIOS Upgrade & Reset Settings (VCS21)" and press the Enter key using the keyboard that you have connected to your Atari VCS. This process will downgrade the BIOS from 1.0.23 to 1.0.21 (the BIOS will automatically get updated again to 1.0.23 the next the the Atari VCS boot into the Atari OS).
    You shouldn't need to reimage the Atari OS, but I did that as my first step before the BIOS. If you find just flashing the BIOS doesn't work then reimage the Atari OS, power off & then on again and flash the Atari VCS BIOS before the system boots into the Atari OS. After then boot into the Atari OS and let the system update the BIOS. Be patient as this might take 15-20 minutes to complete.
    Once done you should be able to access the BIOS using the Atari Celebrate password.

    I've noticed 2 links of vcs themes don't work in US supposedly (I don't have vpn to test if that works but I imagine it would).  The links in the pdf in question are https://uptobox.com/dyg57srg80u2?aff_id=10083422

    and https://uptobox.com/dyg57srg80u2?aff_id=10083422  .  Thank you for the doc as I'll try out the rest asap.  Ah nevermind, I noticed secure boot has to be enabled and my VCS is rejecting the password and I have a service ticket pending in regards to this.

    You can DL VCS Themes, with link to video for the first method. https://tinyurl.com/diskrefindvcs 
    No, you do DISABLE Secure boot.
    Do not try to perform these operations on your VCS without having disable the option « Enforce secure boot » into BIOS. You could irreversibly damage your VCS.

    What did you use to add the ROMs? USB? Did you have to do any special formatting like with the old Flashbacks?

    To Access stella, you have to modify the bundle.ini and stella-launcher in the folder and create a folder with roms. Stella accept all formats types. .a26 .zip .bin

     

    How access to Mame emulator since dashboard VCS

    in VCS Programming/Homebrew

    Posted

    I run Mame emulator from the vcs dashboard. 

    If you want access to Mame : 

    - Start VCS on linux distribution

    - mount VCS game partition

    - allowed read/write on game partition

    - find folder in "Games folder" with Mame laucher and folder roms

     

    After, you do enable emulator 7800 icon on dashboard.

    In first do backup copy of bundle.ini and lauch-mame files.

     

    To be continued later
