a5200DS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a5200DS is an Atari VCS 5200 console emulator. To use this emulator, you must use compatibles rom with a52/bin format. You also need the 5200.bin rom bios to use it. A quick search on atariage website will help you about that ;-) Do not ask me about such files, I don't have them. A search with Google will certainly help you. Features : ---------- Most things you should expect from an emulator. Missing : --------- All that is not yet emulated ;) Need to improve speed Hangs a lot of time if you do not choose the correct 16 bit cartridghe type Check updates on my web site : http://www.portabledev.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V1.8 : 25-Dec-2020 by wavemotion-dave * Improved collision detection by removing some of the speedup hacks of the past. * More games run more correctly - better screen usage and improved control support. * Robotron 2084 now works with ABXY buttons as shooting buttons. V1.7 : 24-Dec-2020 by wavemotion-dave * Ressurected from the ashes... Improved cart detection. Better analog support.
