snstay Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hey all just trying to get the 7800 up and running. Which emulator should i use? Is there one that stands out for ease of use and set up? Thanks
kcorcoran Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 i got it running pretty quickly with mess. not sure how well it emulates but setup was pretty easy.
Styphelus Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I would stay away from mess to be honest. Lost of issues with a lot of games.
zerojay Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I would stay away from mess to be honest. Lost of issues with a lot of games. Got some examples of games that have issues with MESS?
dougan78 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I had sound issues in mess with donkey kong jr. That is why i switched. Love that version.
bandit721 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I'll have to check out DK Jr. in MESS...I know that a ton of work went into fixing any outstanding issues with 7800 emulation in MESS for release 0.153 and now is the preferred emulator according to the guys over at AtariAge.
kcorcoran Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I think I'm running 151... might have to upgrade
newoski Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 RetroArch nightlies are pretty simple to get up and running
kcorcoran Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 RetroArch nightlies are pretty simple to get up and running was this directed at me? if so, i have no idea what you are talking about.
newoski Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 RetroArch can emulate 7800 using the ProSystem core and it's easy to setup
kcorcoran Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 since i have RA set up for jaguar I might have to give this a spin... a HYPER spin....

That is interesting thanks for the info. Don't remember what version I was using.
bandit721 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 For those interested, here's the link from AtariAge detailing the changes implemented in MESS 0.153: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/224055-mess-0153the-next-generation-of-atari-7800-emulation/ Like I said previously...pretty extensive. Hope it helps.
crane_minter Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Using MESS for everything but the gun games; for those I'm using EMU7800. Those changes really improved the emulation.
Trnzaddict Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Got some examples of games that have issues with MESS? How about Commando with no music playing only Sfx? I tried different dumps I think with pokey sound and still nothing. I am......Machine
madangelo Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 7800 seems to work well with MESS, but how do you configure second joystick? I am using the Tankstick, and playing Robotron supports multiple joysticks for firing. All works well unless I push up, which resets the game. My joystick two up mapping must be mapped to reset game, but haven't had much luck finding this setting. Anyone else using Tankstick with 7800?
