Atari ST games not running.

I have a retrobat build, (Pre-built), which runs most games fine, but I can't seem to get "Atari ST" games to run, when I start a title from the menu there is a white screen (In a bezel) for about 30 seconds then the ST desktop (workbench) appears, but no matter what button I press it does not launch the game. One of the buttons brings up a keyboard overlay, but not sure what to do with that. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry for not saying Hi, So Hi everyone, and what a great board.

Hello
It's often the problem with "pre-built" version... it don't works as it have to, and people don't know how to make it work.

So better move roms, bios and theme in an official version (because we don't support built one).

Anyway, what is the extension of your game ? Which emulator are you using ?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes I am going to build an official version of Retrobat after the few problems I've had with this build. The extensions for the ST roms are .zip (rar), but inside the rar is the .st extension, which I believe are supported ext according to "Wiki". I am having a problem trying to bring up what emulator it is using in the main menu. In the FAQ on the retrobat site, it says, [5] "How to select a core or emulator in retrobat". "Main Menu>Game Settings>Per system Advanced Configuration>then choose the system>Atari ST">Emulator", but in that menu scrolling all through the options there is no highlight that says "Emulator", only "Emulation" which is to do with "Rewind" & "Save states". So has something changed since the FAQ was written and how do I find the emulator that the ST uses. I am running ver. "5.1.1 stable win 64". Thanks.

hello

and they work

Hi, Thanks for the Info, but according to "Wiki" there are a few extensions that support the ST, (.st,stx,zip), I will try changing the extensions, or try some other roms. As per my previous post, can someone explain how I find what Emulator is being used by a particular system, in ver. 5.1.1. Thanks.

For Atari, you got only one > Hatari core
You can see it using batgui, and the wiki also.

With the right bios, and the game with a .st extension, it works.

Hi, Thanks you for the Info. I have checked the batgui, and it is listing "Hatari" under the "Cores lib retro" in the box. Thanks.
