Wntermute Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 Jum52/MacOS 0.5.4 is out at http://ww.bannister.org/software . It runs on MacOS 8.6 and 9.x with the Carbon library and natively on MacOS X. It also requires Richard Bannister's Blitter Plugin (available from the same page). From the Jum52 page: "Jum52/MacOS is an Atari 5200 emulator for MacOS. Jum52 supports reasonable compatibility with Atari 5200 titles. At the present collision detection is a bit hit and miss (no pun intended) but otherwise the emulator is solid enough. Full sound emulation is included. Additional video modes can be added to this emulator via the Blitter Library plugin. Jum52 was initially developed for MS-DOS by James Higgs. The source code is not available. Note that this application is Carbonized. If you are not running under MacOS X, you must have CarbonLib (v1.2 or later) installed in your System Folder for this application to run correctly."

Elvis8Atari Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 also I found some games but it says i need carbonlib 1.2 or higher. Anyone know how to get that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted August 2, 2001 Author Share Posted August 2, 2001 CarbonLib 1.3 can be found at Apple. Try this link.. it's for their old Apple Software Updates page (software updates are now rolled-in with the Knowledge Base) .. 1.2 and later can only be used with 8.6 and 9.x (1.0 and 1.1 can be used on 8.5 and up) http://asu.info.apple.com (Also, CarbonLib is standard on 9.0 and higher.. and 9.x has the Software Update control panel to make sure you have the latest version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis8Atari Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 I figured it out thanks.Are some of the 5200 games bad dumps. I couldnt get popeye or q-bert to work properly. >mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted August 3, 2001 Author Share Posted August 3, 2001 As for the ROMs themselves, I'd strongly suggest getting Richard Bannister's ROM Info Bundle and registering it (so you can use the updated beta versions, which add more platforms also). This will identify and rename ROMs, let you know if they're bad dumps, and will even Gzip ROMs when the emulator will support them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis8Atari Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 I downloaded every 5200 game. But I couldn't get my favorite game (kaboom) to work! The game loads. I hit the button and I see an explosion as if a bomb was dropped but the madbombers not even on the screen! Whats the deal? Is this a bad dump? =( >mike http://www.geocities.com/elvis8atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wntermute Posted August 8, 2001 Author Share Posted August 8, 2001 Well, this sounds more like an emulator glitch, but to be absolutely sure, I'd check the ROM with 5200 ROM Info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
