Instead of locking up, the way a real Atari would, the emulator gives you aĬhoice or removing the media, performing a warm or cold reset, entering the debug (It could happen if your OS ROM imagesĪre bad also). This normally happens because of a corrupt disk orĬartridge image, or one that is used incorrectly. If the emulated Atari crashes, due to an illegal instruction, etc., the emulator will displayĪn Unrecoverable Error dialog. To find out all of the details, please see the ControllersĪnd Gamepads Tabs (sections 5.8 and 5.9) in the Preferences window.

You can select files with different names or in different locations by using the By default, theĮmulator expects the ROM files to be found in the OSRoms folder in the Atari800MacXįolder. The default names for the ROMSĪre atariosa.rom, atariosb.rom, atarixl.rom, ataribas.rom, and a5200.rom. These files are not provided with the emulator for legal reasons,īut they are widely available on the internet.

Experienced emulator users should also give this section a quick read to Getting started section is intended to help those who are new to Atari Emulation get Welcome to Atari800MacX, the Atari 800/XL/XE/5200 emulator for Macintosh OSX. 61ġ0.4 Tracing and Execution Control Commands. What happens if the Emulated Atari crashes?. The runner up version is a model 800 file says 1983 and plays Demo without sound on an XL.1. To keep things simple I recommend using the 5200 cartridge, it's 16KB so it makes you guess if it's 1 chip or 2 chip (it is 2) but the 16K file can be converted to 32K so that then we can forget about chip count. Rumor is the emulator corrects coloration across the 2 video modes done automatically, no game need try doing it themselves. PAL looks right, NTSC does not, and no other game acts this way. Every version including the model 5200 shows off two different color schemes depending on whether you press Start in PAL vs NTSC. There aren't different files having different colors. Another big clue is the APX disk (1982) plays sound fx during Demo, when the 5200 cart (1982-83) mutes during Demo, and model 800 versions saying 1983 also mute during Demo, so the one with sound in Demo is the oldest, because the full volume sound fx are annoying & something which would've been changed quickly. I know because I found a 4th compilation in cartridge form which runs XL and has Demo, all with its software LOADER and if I strip off the loader to create an actual cartridge, then it no longer runs XL and it no longer runs Demo. The cart actually has demo mode and is not pre-XL, there are unresolved bugs preventing these things from working. The cart you claim is prototype must have come last, not first, the 1983 vs 1982 dates are NOT backward. I gotta call "BS" to everything on this page's "Trivia" section, the "James Leiterman speaks." and 5 point differences between model 800 disk vs model 800 cartridge.
