I'm Back!!! haha Hey pal thank you very much everything is working great and cant thank you enough! Another question, not sure if you can help me or direct me somewhere. When i play Donkey Kong i never run out of lives. Which is kind of cool and has helped me get to the cement factory! The DK Dream! From my research this is called a "cheat". However no other games in the Atari 8 inventory does that happen to. Is the cheat part of the ROM? Any idea ? I would like to apply that cheat to other games like DK JR and others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also heard there are cheats where you are invincible and cant be hurt but thats not what i want- that would totally get rid of why play the game. Just looking for unlimited lives Any of this make sense?

Thanks! I think i am finally sorted. Yea i got to this, and had no ideas what it meant. Will see if the manuals have any intel

When i hit F4 what should happen? Does a menu show up? When playing DK and hitting F4 - the game just starts. Is there some kind of menu that should be showing up? Or does the game itself do anything? Sorry i know i said i was good here - but just curious I will leave you alone if you dont know

Just wanted to thank you for all your responses and help you have been great! but hitting F4 doesn't seem to do anything for options on difficulty - but I am in a good spot here - and again wanted to say thank you for getting me up and running. I am going to stop here, and just play harder haha - Thanks pal - thank you again

Hi Let me clarify - See the options in the game here on the pic - how do i access those options? Options for Difficulty? How do i get into that menu? any idea? thanks again for your support here

thanks Any help on the "difficulty" settings? where is that located I know its cheating but man! this game is hard!

anything on the "options" ? Promise to leave this alone after that!

Yea i am using Atari 800 Holy Moly where did you dig up that manual !!!! wow

One more question ---- and i think i am done When Donkey Kong starts it says press Option for difficulty How do i access "option" Along with my second button question per Asteroids I think i am complete with this emulator Hope you can respond the Dugan

Ok Im back --- Playing around with a bunch of games. Most games just needed one button, like Donkey Kong and DKJR etc ... How about the second button for Astroids? where do i program that? Screen shot would be greatly appreciated

Success! Sundogak - Thank you very much. You are a very helpful person and have a great heart. Thanks for helping me out here - You just brought back major memories for me, and my kids are really enjoying this. Thank You

BOOM! Thanks I hope I wont be back! Again- thank you so much for your help

Ok - I am back haha Controller settings? Can you help me with that? Games all launch but cant start them. I am almost there ........ i can feel it

using the 64 works great!!!!! Thank you for all the help I will mess around with the start stop and controllers later - im sure its self explanatory ... well I hope it is. If not hope to get more help ... But looks fantastic!!!! Dugan26: Very happy

Which one do i use?

this guy?

BOOM! Thanks I was planning on using a homemade script to control the F buttons - But i will try Altirra when i get a chance. Can you point me to the exact location of the Altirra executable? i looked at that website and there were tons of downloads. Thank you for your help And Marvin was my favorite Bugs Bunny character. "I am going to blow up the earth so i have a clear view of Venus" You get 2 major points in my book!

I have to say - Launch Box is such an incredible platform. Years ago 10+ i messed around with Hyperspin ... after 4-5 emulators i gave up. Really nice work here to all

I am getting closer !!! Now how do i make this full screen ? And should my controller just work? Where are those configs? Using standard Microsoft controller

ok super strange - Before i posted i just tried deleting and installing again and i got this

Got it - Will get some pics posted tonight ... and thanks for helping me out here I might have another problem .... what is a .atari800.cfg file? Is that auto created by the system or is that an additional file i need to get from somewhere? or is everyone custom etc ..

Popped in a few games and changed the emulator But games do not play i know there is more to this ... any tutorials so i dont bother you? I am new at this. I have become very familiar with the standard emulator rom process NES, Gameboy Sega etc ... This is the first time i am trying to get a computer like atari 800 to work Games wont play - however as a stand alone emulator they work

Hi So can i just use my existing Emulator i have and use some kind of command line to run it? What do i use in LB to import the .atr files in LB? Many thanks in advance.

Will give it a try!

Hi - Sorry for posting this question in multiple threads but Zombeaver you seem to know this system the best. I got my atr files working fine as stand alone using this emulator does this work with Launchbox?
