Activision's "Tennis" 2600->5200 port

[Wrathchild]

Following on from @glurk's work on the A8 port, @eea and myself have completed the 5200 port and so with thanks to them both, here it is:

 

 

 

tenny5200.car tenny5200.rom

[Mclaneinc]

Excellent work from the pair of you...

 

Thank you...

 

Now if only I could master how to play it...

[BIGHMW]

Great Thanks to all 3 of you!!!   @glurk, my hats off 2 U for a conversion well done, and to @Wrathchild ad @eea, this is yet another notch in the (ever-so-growing) 5200 library.

The only thing I could get to work is the car file in Atari800MacX.

[Wrathchild]

The Rom is just the same file minus the 16 byte cartridge header, so that seems odd. When you load the Rom are you asked what model of 16KB cart is it or perhaps the emulator is making its own guess and gets it wrong?

 

Hopefully some other Atari800MacX users can help out.

open emu asked what kind of carts.  But it would not except it anyhow.

This is what Altirra asks and the one-chip option is the correct one.
As the CAR file works for you then the header id of 16 is the same so you should be seeing that as an option?

There appear to be a fair number of different 5200 "emulator" programs out there that are just not very good.  And often the problems are not with the games, but with the poorly written emulators themselves.  Problems should really be reported to the emulator authors in these cases.

The tenny5200.car does not work in OpenEmu.  Only tenny5200.rom imports.  But when I ask to import it says resolve 1 issue.  Then I checkmark tenny5200.rom and it only gives me 2 options to import.  Colecovision or Intellivision.  No 5200 option.  And I don't have the bios files for Colecovision or Intellivision.

I don't have a Mac so can't test this myself, but try renaming the .rom to .a52 and importing that. If it asks you to choose between 1-chip and 2-chip then select 1-chip (if it doesn't ask hopefully it defaults to 1-chip or is able to figure it out).

 

I found the import guide here: https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/wiki/User-guide:-Importing

 

It associates .a52 and .bin files with the 5200 (and .rom files with ColecoVision and Intellivision which is why it was giving you those choices).

I changed the .rom file to .a52 and no luck in OpenEmu.  But changing the .car file to .a52 worked and plays tennis now in open emu.
