Omega-TI Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I love my Atari 5200 equipped with it's SD super cart and have absolutely no plans of ever getting rid of it. However, I would like to know, what, in your opinion, is the BEST 5200 emulator for the PC (that can run all the same available .BIN's as are on the SD cart.

YES!.webm 4.15 MB · 1 download 2600daptor has an adapter for both 5200 controllers. You can also use a pc controller and just use the keyboard for the keypad. An analog pc stick like a Logitech is maybe best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an analog joystick that I use on my Atari 5200 already if I could use the same stick on my PC that would be fantastic! Where do I find this converter?

One thing I dislike about the new eBay-like Amazon is the separate listings of several of the same thing. The ones I have came with a couple old gameport racing wheels I bought. Somewhere between Win95 and Win98 everything had adapters to use both. https://www.amazon.com/Rockfire-game-Adapter-RM-203-gameport/dp/B004HAX7OU/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=15+pin+gameport+to+usb&qid=1574448147&sr=8-4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
