please can anyone help me set up Atari 800 on Hyperspin, i don't mind using mess which is already set up, and i've added a new wheel for it, and a small xml file for the games, but i can't get it going

thanks for everyone's help

If you can have patient and wait a few more days there is a big release coming for this one ;)

I advice you to use Altirra as the emu though.

Those are being worked as well, but will take a bit longer. There is a thread for Atari 2600 if you want to check it out, it's really worth seeing it.

hi everyone,

i require some help to get atari 800 working with hyperspin. i am using altirra as my emu on a windows 7 machine. here are the issues i am having:

1. altirra loads atari 800 games, no problem. the problems begin when i attempt to select full screen mode for altirra. as soon as i do that, the sound stutters and the game action slows down. i hear this is a windows 7 issue for altirra - does anyone know if a fix is in soon? or maybe i should be using a different version of altirra (currently using 1.8)? has anyone else experienced this issue?

2. i can get atari 800 games to launch in altirra via hyperspin, but unable to get them to launch in full screen mode. i have seen discussion about this issue and implemented all the ideas here, but none of them fixed the issue:

/forum/archive/index.php/t-11265.html

(sorry - can't post the whole URL as i have less than 5 posts ... so i included everything to the right of the hyperspin-fe domain name re: the link above)

does anyone have any ideas how to force full screen in altirra upon launch in hyperspin?

3. i would like some console wheel art for the atari 800 but cannot find any, both @ hyperspin and @ emu paradise. any ideas? also - how about game wheel art ... does anyone know where i might be able to find some?

4. does anyone have a link to the definitive atari 800 xml database? my filenames appear to be in TOSEC format. can't seem to find a solid xml file anywhere, and i am unable to use clrmamepro to clean this up - i would love to get rid of the duplicates. any leads? any ideas?

many thanks in advance for any and all info!

- ap

Sorry, it was put on the back burner since I ended up working on other equally large dbs and there didn't seem to be that much interest on atari 8-bit, also ended up finding a truckload of games not on TOSEC sets which needed to be added to the db and some more double checking was needed. I have this around 80% done, just need to get back to it, probably only after finishing Amiga and PSX though.

never use hyperrom2xml! screws up ya list!

use

HyperTools-4.3.25 /Create New HyperList

is the best tool!

(Midlife crisis) some have hot rods, some have gold chains, I have arcade machine with hyperspin.

I wrote a simple Linux tool to write XML files from the MAME/MESS software list output for the Cabrio 2 front-end, but they should be compatible with Hyperspin as well. I put the 0.155 output for the Atari 800 in /Upload Here/phulshof on the FTP server if anyone wants to take a look. Let me know if they are of any help and/or if I should make some changes. I intend to release full MAME/MESS lists on a regular basis if they are usable.
