Austin Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 How many different 7800 emulators are there, and how many of them are quality emulators? I have personally tried ProSystem and it seems to work great.. The problem with that is I am trying to record videos of gameplay, but my desktop recorder (FRAPS) for some reason will not record inside this emulator. The same thing happened with Gens (Genesis emulator), and in that case I had to download a different emulator that allowed my desktop recorder to do it's thing.

gdement Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The emulators I know of are: MESS ProSystem Emu7800 V7800 (old, I think this code was transferred to MESS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underball Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Older versions of MESS allow recording built right into it, but the game compatibility is weak and thecolor palette and sound are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) So, I tried Emu7800--I can't even seem to get it to detect the ROMs I'm trying to use (Sirius and Plutos). Apparently I have to edit a text file to get it to recognize them, but the file itself is a jumbled mess. What a poor design choice. I then tried MESS. This actually looks like a very cool setup (Like MAME, except for home systems). However, it requires a 7800 boot ROM of some sort (The one on the AtariAge 7800 emulation section isn't working for it), so I can't get it to work. What a bummer.. I'm not having much luck today with anything. I guess I will have to try and track down a different desktop recorder and see if that works, otherwise wait until I get some real PC video capture hardware.

MESS needs the older version of the 7800 boot ROM found here: http://www.atari7800.org/bin/a7800/olda7800.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 One of my saltwater gobies just emulated the 7800 today. It limped along sickly, then died! *rimshot* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
