fox #1 Posted October 31, 2005 Can you tell me how a real 5200 behaves when powered on without a cartridge? Atari800 emulator (and therefore Atari800Win PLus) shows a rainbow fuji logo and crashes after a while. I don't believe it's what happens on real hardware, but I don't see any code in 5200 BIOS to make it behave differently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you bridge the cartridge interlock, for example with an empty cartridge PCB, then the real unit will behave exactly like the emulator does.
