some games don’t like the new XL/XE Rom

Remember some games were written for the original 800 so won't run on a 130XE/800XL, there's a program

(the name eludes me at the moment, but I'm sure someone will tell you), that installs the 800 ROM into RAM

under the OS and allows the older games to run.

Hi 

 

yes true enough, I imagine later games -1985 on are all 800 & XL , XE compatible?

 

atari did release the translator disk that is supposed to load up older games.

Finally getting somewhere. I’ve recapped the XE130 and it’s now more or less stable. I’ll have to leave it running for a few hours to see if it crashes again but it’s now loading most software.

You're thinking of The Translator.
