Numerous options are only settable via the emulator menu.
Note that any option settable in the RGUI will override the atari. The Atari core supports the following device type s in the controls menu, bolded device types are the default for the specified user s. Settings with Restart means that core has to be closed for the new setting to be applied on next launch. The Atari core has the following options that can be tweaked from the core options menu. You can set per-game core option settings by creating a game-options file through RetroArch's Core Options menu. Then press Escape a few times to go back to the 'Emulator Configuration' section and select Save Configuration File or alternatively change Save configuration file on exit from no to yes. Press Enter to confirm menu selections and press Escape to go back a menu. While the Atari core is running, you can press F1 to get into the internal emulator menu. Now you can manually select what Atari system you want to emulate through the 'Atari System' core option.įinally, you can load any content files compatible with the system chosen through RetroArch's Load Content menu. However, for either emulator, if you have a core options file in your atari directory, it will let you have separate settings for just the system. In lr-atari, the core options likewise apply to both by default.
It varies based on the emulator, so look below to those sections for instructions. The lr-Atari core is currently the default in Retropie. Because of this, setup is substantially similar, with some differences. This can be one of the more tricky emulators to get set up as they require a multiplicity of BIOS files and configurations depending on what systems you want to utilise but it seems to run Atari games pretty well.
