    I personally recommend connecting a USB 3.1 SSD disk to one of the ports on the back of the machine. 
    That's what I've done. It's much easier than installing an M.2 drive, and quite unnecessary for Windows 10 installation.
    The information is also under the thread about PC-Mode.

    You don't need to upgrade the VCS to install Linux or Windows 10 or ChromeOS. You only need a disk.
    If you really don't mind it being unnecessarily slow, you can install either onto a 32GB USB stick, from another 4GB USB stick!

    Did you do the external drive method?  If so, it looks like the docs have you install Windows as a virtual disk.  How do you add files to Windows if you do it this way?

    Did you upgrade your VCS with an SSD or an USB Memory Stick (64GB or higher) before?

     

    If "Yes", than use your PC and: 

     

    1. Go to the MS Website and download the MCT (Media creation tool) ->  Download Media Creation Tool

    2. Plug in a USB Stick 8GB (or higher)

    3. Start the tool and choose "Install Windows 10 for another computer"

    4. Select "Write Image to USB Stick" (choose 64BIT version and Win 10 Home or Pro, depend on your License, you use)

    5. go step by step thru the install process

    6. if its done pull your stick from the PC und put it on your VCS

    7. choose on your VCS Menu "PC-MODE" -> Reboot

     

    After than, the VCS is booting from your Stick and starts the Win 10 install process

     

    Cheers,

    andY

    What do you mean by "upgrade your VCS?"  The official docs don't mention anything about having to "Upgrade" first.

    Hi Cafeman.  I do have the correct Atari ROMs.  Altirra recognizes them and they are listed in the Firmware Manager in addition to the Altirra built-in ones.  Thanks for the info and the section from the Help file.  I see that I need to detach the keyboard in System > Console Switches > Keyboard Present (XEGS) and add a ROM in Firmware Manager to XEGS Game ROM.  If I do this, it works!  If I wanted to keep the keyboard attached, how do I boot with the Select key pressed?

    I'm trying to get the XE Game System emulation to run Missile Command.  I have the Rev 4 bios which is recognized by Altirra but the emulator just starts to Basic with a warm reset or the Self Test with a cold reset.  Shouldn't Missile Command launch if a cartridge is not attached?

    I read that once you get the flower, you can use the well to get to the end. This avoids the tomb screens.  Does anyone know how to do that?  I got to the end but I didn't have the flower and I don't want to go through the tomb again.

    I have been having an issue with save states in version 3.90.  I was trying to save Miner 2049er Station 5.  Two of the states produced garbled graphics when loaded and the third just started the game from Station 1.  Has anyone else had similar issues?  These were standard saves, not quick saves.  Where are quick saves saved?
