Gp2x Atari 8 Bit Emulator Problem

[readboy]

First post since getting my GP2X. Everything was going so well, Mame, Megadrive Snes, PC Engine C64 all working.

Anyway, I've got a problem with the Atari 8 bit emulator, it freezes on its main menu; anyone know why this is happening ?

Sounds like you dont have the required directory structure. On the root of your card you need a folder called roms and in that another folder called a800,
eg. G:\roms\a800

within the a800 folder you have 6 folders, disk, exe, menu, os, rom, state

You need the atari OS roms in the os folder, games like .atr files go in disk folder

The executable atari800.gpe i think has to be on the root of the card
eg. G:\atari800.gpe

Thanks, I'll give that a try later.

Had the same problem. Place the A800 dir just as willy says and place the gpe wherever you like (I think, because I have it in the roms\a800 folder as well, to be sure).

Just when almost everyone has this working, I'm going to change it all in the next version! Bumping my emulator tree to the official 2.0.1 release

Good luck,

Mark

Nice, looking forward to the update. The Atari 8x series are my all time fave
