Atari 800 Computer, not 5200 Question/Help

I’m fairly new to RA. I got the basic idea, and successfully installed some cores and games. I notice the Atari 800 computer’s library of games don’t seem to be supported, unlike the 5200 which works fine. I understand, if you were born in the 90’s how you’d have zero interest, but I’ve always loved this system. I can manually load in the atari800 core and fire up a game through the content folder one at a time (which defeats the purpose). Would I be able to build a playlist that would get treated similarly to the cores that have had their directory’s scanned (even though I’d have to manually add each game)? If so, can I also design an icon that would be associated with the system, so it appears like the rest of the systems? Thanks!

Sure. The easiest way to do it is to use the desktop/WIMP UI (press F5 to bring it up) and just drag-and-drop files to create a playlist.

There are also external tools and scripts that can create playlists for you. If you make an icon, just put it in with the other theme assets and give it the same name as your playlist and it should show up just fine.

Super thank you! Now I know what that desktop tool is for!
