Brad2600 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Ok, I've never used an 8-bit emulator before and I just realized that I downloaded this program and never installed it. I decided to see if I could open several files that are ATR files. I even messed around with the configuration so that this program is checked to be associated with this type of file. However, what is it? How do I open it? I have downloaded 3 of these ATR files: 2 are from Analmux's SMB 8-bit project that he posted in that thread. Another ATR image is of the SMB clone, Bros. Afterwards, can anyone point me to a good ROM archive for the 800XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Alt-d, select .atr file (which is a disk image), then hit shift-f5 to reboot the emulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 I do what you suggest and still, I keep getting a screen talking about a ROM error over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringthane Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Different problem with AWin800+... I installed this a few months ago, and while muckin' about with the config, I set the screen size to an incorrect setting. Now, when I load up the program, I get a message saying "Signal Out of Range". Is there a way to reset the system to its default setting again?

Nukey Shay Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Erase the .GID file @Kepone What exactly is the error message? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I do what you suggest and still, I keep getting a screen talking about a ROM error over and over again. You need the OS ROM to use the emulator. It isn't distributed with the emulator. Without the OS ROM (there are versions for OS-B (400/800), XL (800XL, 1200XL, etc...) and 5200. Also you may be interested in a BASIC ROM, but it isn't required by most programs. Search for Atari800Win roms in google. They aren't hard to find.

Brad2600 Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 @Kepone What exactly is the error message? "A ROM load error prevented Atari800WinPlus from booting. You should check the settings under 'Atari/ROM images' menu. Would you like to view these settings now?" This is the error message I get.

Zybex Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Download this file : ftp://matrix.ibb.waw.pl/pub/a8/Emulators/.../atari_roms.zip Extract this file to a folder. Start the emulator, press ok in the error screen, the click on search button and pick the folder for the romset. (this are the atari romset not games) ATR, DCM formats, are disk images XEX,COM, EXE binary files to load any file, simply drag and drop the file into the emulator. f2 = option / f3 = select / f4 = start Set your joystick with alt+j and the video (ntsc/pal) with alt+v. Sorry, my english sux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
