5.19 X64 Atari 5200 RESOLVED

Kugelblitz

It took me a while to find out how 5200 cartridges work in Batocera and as I can't see the behaviour documented, I though I post it here. When selecting a cartridge (.BIN file) in Emulation Station and you end up on a blank screen, push the Controller DOWN once. Then you see the cartridge type select screen. 5200 ROMs usually require the 2 ROM 5200 type.

This MIGHT be just a blank screen issue (Emulator refreshes this page once you push down).

thanks for tip, been struggling with the atari 5200 and 800 roms but managed to find a way to also run the 800 roms on the 5200 emulator. Here's my .atari800.cfg which is placed into the bios folder.
Also the 5200 rom should be named 5200.rom (lower case .rom)
