TPR Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Just as the topic says, what do you think is the best Atari 5200 Emulator for Mac OSX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I have never got any emulator to work right for mac 5200 wise. On PC KAT5200 works but with some issues. We discussed this many moons ago here. But I forget which one was recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I use Altira now for all my 8-bit emulation needs. That of course includes the 5200. Or, for the WIP roms here I just place those on my Ultimate SD and pop it into my actual 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 BTW on windows side kat5200 works but does not keep settings. If I select 3x or full screen it stays smalll screen and never goes fulll screen or 3x. Or even 2x. Stays small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I did a little searching on google and found this: http://atariage.com/5200/emulation/index.html?SystemID=5200 I think it's worth a look. or you could just use a windows emulator running with a Mac version of wineskin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogden Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Atari800MacX will do 5200 emulation as well as 400/800/XL/XE emulation. I haven't used the 5200 emulation much but it's there. I'm more on the 8-bit computer side of things but I have a 5200 as well. Atari800MacX is pretty much the only game in town for OSX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaRUSH Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Have a MAC and OpenEMU is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okmike87 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Have a MAC and OpenEMU is great! I can't get the analog controls to work right on OpenEMU (or any other 5200 emu for that matter). On a game like Missile Command, the cursor goes all the way to the edge of the screen when I push the stick. I simply cannot move it just a little or slowly.

+Ryan Witmer Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I use Atari++ on Linux, which you could probably get running on the Mac if you're savvy with the X11 shell. I really only use it for development purposes though, so I don't know how well it would fit your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
