I hope you see this! Please let me know if you do, and if my tip helps you!
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I’ve been pretty busy the last few days. Anyways, I just got around to trying River Raid for the A800. It’s been a bit since I’ve used any Atari device, so I didn’t know which cartridge option to pick, so I just chose the first option.
After choosing that option, I did see the “demo crawl” of the game running, but, probably like you, I couldn’t do anything.
The fix, for me at least, was going into Quick Menu (boot up River Raid first, then hit your RetroArch menu button, and you should already be in the Quick Menu; if not, back out as far as you can, choose Main Menu, then Quick Menu will be the top option). Once in Quick Menu, choose Controls, then Port 1 Controls, then in the first option “Device Type” change this to “Atari Joystick”. Make sure you scroll down and have keys or buttons set to every possible keypress, but really as long as you have directional controls, “fire”, and “start”, you can probably play this game just fine!
I forgot how much fun this one was (though I never had an A800, I think I played this on an Atari console or maybe my C64 or Apple IIe)?
