Different emulators

[jaymz887]

I recently downloaded the emulators for atari 2600 7800 and 5200.  i was able to open the files for the 7800.  the others wont open the files.  can i set up my pc to be able to play all three or do i have to use each one on a different pcs.

 

thanks

They will all run on the same PC

 

Which emulators did you download for 2600 and 5200?   Stella/atari800, or something else?    For 5200 emulators I think you will need a copy of 5200.rom for its firmware, but 2600 won't need that.

Thanks for the info.  I downloaded the 2600 and 5200 emulators. I opened the .exe file.  I then went to my folders where I have the downloaded Ron’s and tried to open the rims and all I get is a black screen. What am I doing wrong. Thanks again

The 5200 bios? I just now clicked the link and was presented with a zip file to download, opened it and BIOS is inside. 

 

The link for the searchable ROM files failed ( 404 error ) but I think it just needs updating to this:
