Atari 5200 - Retroarch

[LogicalEgo]

Hey Gang,

I am looking to ditch kat5200 in favor of setting up Mess in RA to able to play 5200 games. Anyone have experience setting up Mess in RA for the 5200?

Oh shit, you wanna do it though the Retroarch Mame core ? It's doable if you want to jump through flaming hoops like a circus animal but I really recommend using Altirra or the stand alone version of Mame / Mess.

Yep. And it's a pain haha.

Take a look at this post in regards to setting up RA to do Atari 5200

I didn't realize it would require a degree lol. I can stick with kat5200, not a big deal I just love all the features RA offers.

EmuCR has a new version of KAT from just a few days ago if you are still using the ancient version

I can set you up, Keltoigael. You'll need to be using Rocketlauncher, you'll need the 2015 mess core, which I can send you, and you'll need a mess bios pack. I'm not sure how other people do it, but the way I have it set up, don't need software lists or hashes or anything like that.

Unfortunately, even if you use and are familiar with rocketlauncher, you're going to have to set up a new module and emulator. I call it messtroarch. Once this is all done though, it'll work on most of the systems mess emulates.
