Atari ST with RetroArch

[Bashyman]

Morning,

I'm trying to run an Atari ST game via retorarch (newly setup system).

I'm getting a warning about missing dependency files. This the TOS files which I have a few of on my system. I've tried selecting each one and they all say the disk file image is corrupted. I've downloaded new versions too and nothing working. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, trying to run ZX spectrum via Retorarch and works fine, but keyboard doesn't type properly. Tried pointing Launchbox towards Fuse as preferred emulator, but Fuse not in list of emulators. Is there another ZX spectrum emulator Launchbox recognises or a way Retrorch can ignore gamepad when running spectrum games (think that may be the issue?)

According to this post, it needs to onscreen keyboard.

Just because it's not listed doesn't mean you can't add it.  Fuse looks to be command-line parameters rich (a LOT of options). So there shouldn't be any issues running it.

I run Atari ST under Retroarch quite often using the Hatari core. Never had an issue, but a tos image as you say is key. Below is the section from the hatari info file with some info.

# Firmware / BIOS
firmware_count = 1
firmware0_desc = "tos.img (TOS 1.02 US aka Mega TOS)"
firmware0_path = "tos.img"
firmware0_opt = "false"
notes = "(!) tos.img (md5): c1c57ce48e8ee4135885cee9e63a68a2"
