Can´t play any game!
Hey, i have downloaded Quasimodo but i can´t play it.
The downloaded file is a .ZIP and in it I found a file .CAS or .COM
I don´t konow what happens, I don´t know if it a problem with my WINDOWS XP, i don´t know if I have to download any programs to run the game, but please help me because i don´t play ATARI games since I was 12 years old (and it too much time, as I´m 28!)
Please somebody tell me what to do!

thanks but i have a problem.
I don´t know where to do this:
"X-Former 2.5 containing *.ROM files. You should copy them to the ROM subdirectory of Atari800Win PLus emulator."
Where is that subdirectory? i can´t find it!!!
And also I don´t know what to do when it ask: A ROM load error prevented ATARI800winplus from rebooting. You should check the ROM settings under "ATARi/ROM images" menu.
Excuse me because of my ignorance about this, but I don´t really know waht to do!

You can get the BASIC and operating system ROM images here: http://vjetnam.hopto.org/index.php?frame=roms
Ir you press ALT+R in Atari800Win Plus, you can tell the emulator where these files are on your hard disk.

If you have installed the Windows version of the emulator, then you should just be able to double-click on the .atr file to start the emulator and boot the disk.
Alternatively, you can use the emulator's "File" menu, select "attach disk" and point the file selector to wherever you've saved the .atr
Double-clicking is usually easier, though.
It's important to be aware whether the game/software that you want to use needs BASIC to be enabled. Most games don't, and when that's the case, it's best to keep BASIC disabled ("Atari -> Options -> Disable BASIC" in the emulator).

No need to convert anything as Atari800Win PLus handles all types of files: .rom (cartridge images), .cas (tape), .atr (disk) and .com/.xex (Atari executables). Note that .com files can be renamed to .xex and double-clicked for immediate loading (just like the other ones). For original copy-protected disks with the .atx extension, check this page: http://www.atarimania.com/vapi.php?MENU=8&RUB=VAPIhellrazor wrote:ive installed the emulator ok but how do i convert the games ive downloaded (soloflight&syntron) to be recognized by the atari em? i figured out how to unzip them but the program cant seem to locate the ATR version even though i can see them in my documents as the .atr version. any help would be greatly appreciated.... this is quite frustrating.
