hi, thanks for the reply,
i have used other emulators & tried doing this one with the same method but just made coasters so far, the emulator file is an ELF file & the roms i have are BIN files. unfortunatly there was no info file with it. i have never come acros roms as bin files & i am not sure if i haveto do anything with them before i put them on a cd. i have iso buster & cd dvd generator but canot figure out what neds to be done to get this to work.
Im having this very same problem!! :-( I cant extract the ISO's ..PERIOD! And I tried burning them with nero...Yea I got them to burn...but my Modded PS2 with a DMS4 E.Z.I Pro wont reconize those damn BIN files..and I cant convert them or extract them...when I try I get errors. Ive never came across this problem with BIN/CUE files before in my entire history (3 years)of software piracy! No matter what ROM site I go to..atari 2600 roms come RAR'd and when you unpack them theyre in BIN format...which wont extract no mater what program I use!..WEIRD!!! Please HELP US!!!
I think you need to format the roms into 8.3 format like Defender into DEFENDER.BIN
If you are making a cdrom make a subdir "ROMS", so this can be selected.
open up Nero burning roms and here are the settiing
on the left side choose.
*CD-Rom(UDF/ISO)
*ISO
File name length:Max of 31 chars(ISO level 2)
Formant:Mode 2/XA
Character set: ISO9660 (standing ISO Cd-rom)
*Burn
make the speed at least 4x or 8x the most when your done click New
ok it time to drag the files you need here the list you should have on the left side
*Pvcs.elf
*Files.txt
*Roms folder
*once your done burn it
Well theend757....looks like I reached "theend" (LOL :-)) of my patience with emulating an Atari 2600 on my modded PS2. I've doe EVERYTHING EXACLTY as you suggested..and atlas...no success. I put the folders in EXACT order you said...put the settings EXACTLY as you suggested...and in the FILES.txt I made sure I put .ROM.BIN AFTER the names of the roms. I guess Im gonna give up..Ive wasted 10 discs and I'm NOT wasting anymore. Thank you ever so kindly for offering us with your help. :-) Whatever your doing works for you and probably others as well...but for me....I just cant get it and I dont know why. Im no n00b when it comes to this sort of thing like I mentioned earlier in this thread....but....im left baffled on this one. If for some miricale gjl2002 you get this to work...PLEASE EXPLAIN what you did to get it to work...cause I think were both doing the EXACT THING WRONG..lol Good Luck!!
this is the only link i have for atari emu,the ps2 download has a readme txt which will tell you more
i havent got time to play around with it getting it working so good luck
Thank you hursty, but thats an Atari 5200. I need help specefically with this Atari 2600 emulator. Never tried the 5200..I want this cause my wifes B-Day is in a few days and I want to get her this. She loved Atari and I want to suprise her with a gift from the past. Thank you very much for offering to help hursty.
hey theend757..I thank you very very much for your willingness to help me out. My wifes 31st B-day is tomorrow...and like I said earlier..I REALLY REALLY want to give her a gift like this thats diffrent from any other. :-) Is it possible you can upload your atari cd to http://rapidshare.de/ and post the link bach here or possibly PM me the link?? Id be so indebted to you. Mabey we can trade something?? Please say you will. Its very important to me to give her this since they dont make the cartridge atari 2600 anymore.
got the elf file,edited using system.cnf from elsewhere,renamed the elf file
make a file list from the bin's,burned it to cd,the emu loads up,but when i go to select the roms,but they cannot be found
i am doing something wrong somewhere,when i get a chance i will have another bash
