Atari 800 Basic?

Postby jwilson56 » Mon Oct 30, 2017 2:40 am

We need a way to toggle BASIC on and off so games that use BASIC can be run. Any chance this could be added or if there is a way let me know. I am trying to get my Android Attack game I wrote long ago working to show the grandkids.

Thanks

John

It's there. In the game details screen, select "Configure this game" and enable BASIC from there.

I have tried that setting and still cannot get my game working. Here is a link to the game. Maybe you could try and see if it runs. I wrote this in 1982 and I have played it using Colleen in the past as well as Atari800Win

The Basic option is still not working. I have tried running a few different basic programs that I know work outside of RetroX and they all crash when using RetroX.

Could you please look into this.

Well since the last updates none of the Atari 800 games will run now. I get the Atari800 Add-on has stopped.

Basic or regular games? (xex)

I remember that emulator crashing when the gamepad was not set up. If you have a physical gamepad, make sure it is mapped in Settings -> Gamepads

The gamepad works for Amiga and Sega so I don't think that is it
