trying to get in on some retro gaming, but i can't find an emulator that i can get to work. i've tried atari800win plus, xformer, and atari++, none of which i can get to play my roms. i just want to play greats like zorro, bruce lee, droll, adventure creator, dandy, etc =(.

i'll probably get yelled at for not searching the forums more in-depth-like, but why not get a new thread started anyway?

Your most likely mistake is not having the system ROMs. You need an OS and a Basic image (although some emulators can run with their own supplied OS).

You can get the system ROMs, along with lots of games here.

Other great repositories of game images and other Atari stuff:

it all seems so complicated. i am a simple kid of guy who like ease-of-use emulators such as nesticle and the like and am not very much into installing operating systems and whatnot. is there some step-by-step tutorial on how to get these emulators setup and ready to play games?

There's one on this site.

i actually checked out that tutorial before i came here. it said a wizard would open up at first, but it never did. no matter what rom i choose for that emulator, all i get is a black screen. haven't played around with any of this since my last post, but i'd like to find an emulator that doesn't give me so much grief =\
