Atari 5200 Launchbox Torrent

[hardcorehubz]

Hi all,

 

Don't know if anybody uses Launchbox frontend here but thought I would share this here if anybody does.

 

Torrent file available here - http://www.gamingalexandria.com/torrents/Atari%205200%20Launchbox%20V2.0.torrent

 

Here is a collection of many hours of work of collecting and creating metadata, images, manuals, and videos from various sources for the Atari 5200 system. Feel free to use and distribute our add this content to the Launchbox Database. Most of it was from other sources (THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE VARIOUS PROJECTS IN THE PAST THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL STUFF FROM!) but the missing stuff I went ahead and made myself to get it as complete as I was able to get it. You should be able to just drop these in your Launchbox install and be good to. Public Domain Homebrew roms are provided with this torrent but NO commercial games. This is for your convenience.

 

Notes on this, I left the Atari 8-Bit homebrew ports out of this, as I didn't see the point with them being direct ports and they will never really have good art for this system. Better to just play and scrape them with an Atari 8-Bit emulator.

 

If you see missing content you can provide or have higher quality images, videos, etc. PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will gladly use them on the next update.

Enjoy! Hopefully this will save people a lot of time. Figured If I am doing it for myself I might as well see if others would like using it.

 

Thanks,

Okay I have tweaked the torrent so it should now work better but you'll need to redownload it. I got messages that some people weren't able to connect. Let me know if it's still wonky. Thanks!

Hi, I just downloaded this file. I have no idea what program its for but its a great collection of images.

I hope you don't mind if I use the images when posting about the games we are reviewing on the Atari 5200 Podcast.
