I downloaded the emulator recommendeed.
Razors had written something about XF25 to copy into the files. The help file suggested something like that too. What is this and where do I find it?
Terri, installing and running the emulator is not too complicated. Just follow these steps:
1- Make a folder called Atari800Win, or whatever other name you want
2- Go here and download the installer file in that folder:
http://a800win.atari-area.prv.pl/
3- Install the program (it will give you the option of installing it to whatever path you want; you can just install it to the same Atari800Win folder in the example above.)
4- Once the installation is done, uncheck the automatic run option and finish the installation
5- Go to the Atari800Win folder (or whatever other folder you used to install the emulator) and make a new folder called ROMS
6- Now go here and download the emuROMs.zip file to the ROMS folder:
http://www.bsn.sk/download/Atari/
7- Unzip the file in that same folder
8- Now try to run the emulator. It will send you to a ROM configuration window
9- Click on the "Search" button. Now search for the folder where you installed the Atari emulator (Atari800Win folder in our example.) The emulator will automatically find all the ROM files you unzipped in the ROMS folder
10- Go to "Atari" menu and "warm" reset the emulator twice. That's it, you are ready to go!
To play the game just make a new folder called, for example, Games, inside the Atari800Win folder and download the disk image there. Here is the link for
Opera House again:

Unzip the game in the same Games folder. To run the game with the emulator first go to the "Atari" menu, then "Settings", and uncheck the "Disable BASIC when booting Atari". Then go to "File" menu, then "Autoboot image" and look for the game disk image (it should be in the Games folder of your Atari800Win folder, if you decided to follow the example above.) That's it. The game will load. Just press 1 to play
Opera House.
