+DamonicFury Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) I thought that the 5200 and the 8 bit versions were the same program since the 5200 is essentially a 8 bit computer ( Atari 400 ) . Maybe I am incorrect in my conclusion. No, you are quite right. With this game, as with most of the others, the only difference is the controls. There are, however, a few ports such as Centipede, DigDug, and Qix where the ports are actually very different. This was simply due to the efforts of the Atari programmers who wanted to improve on the earlier computer versions.

BillyHW Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 If anyone has it working in emulator with two sticks on one gamepad, please post which emulator. I'm willing to boot into Windows for this one. I tried other emulators on Mac Atari800MacOSX, Rainbow, but couldn't get either of them up and running the game.

While I have no idea how you might get dual gamepad sticks working, might I suggest trying the keyboard? I played a lot of MAME Robotron using the WASD and Up-Down-Left-Right keys... worked pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skosh Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Welcome back to the Knockout Grand Champion, skosh, and Season 1 & 2 5200 champ, darthkur! Hope you guys stick around! Thanks sdamon... I'll give it a try however things have been on the busy side. What I really wanted was to participate in a few HSC on a pretty regular basis and that started off ok and quickly turned into really only the Coleco HSC. Also congrats in advance for winning this HSC!! Looks like you have things all wrapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this for Space Dungeon as I could not find my cart. I used Altirra and a PS3 joystick with the dpad to move and the 4 buttons for firing. Also in the Space Dungeon thread patbb used MESS and did something similar with an XBOX 360 controller. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/195497-5200-hsc-season-5-round-4-space-dungeon/ (see post #5) Good luck.
