King Atari Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 If you saw my 7800 post, you'll know I finally got MESS to work. SO, now I need the 5200 emulator to work. I don't want to goof this up, so could someone please tell me what I need to do to get it working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Just follow the faq in the Mess download. Note: MESS is very picky. Make sure that you have the system roms named and placed EXACTLY how they are in the readme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 Right, but I did that with the 7800 emulator, and look how that turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 You might surprise yourself...give it a shot. We promise not to make fun of you.

King Atari Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 We promise not to make fun of you. Erm, should I believe that statement ? Okay, I'll see if I can pull it off, and if I can't, I'll scream and yell and throw things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Heck no...that's when most of us would admire you. If you try something and fail miserably at it, that shows that you have guts...and are willing to stick your neck on the chopping block to prove it. * props Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to goof this up, so could someone please tell me what I need to do to get it working? Set it up the same as you have the 7800 part but change the 7800 to 5200. They should work exactly the same. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 Yep, I was doing that as you were posting. Everything works good. Can't figure out how to play most of it yet, but it's going at least. Thanks guys. Mission 2: Commodore 64! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 The C's should pose no problems...those are probably the easiest to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys. Mission 2: Commodore 64! Great! One word of warning, the controls for the 5200 in MESS are pretty bad.

King Atari Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 Yeah, the only thing I can play right now is Mario Bros., and not very good at that. I set up Colecovision and Astrocade last night, so this thing is pretty easy. Maybe it's the different computer I'm using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
