How about game files that aren't romdumps actually?

Erm... As some of you might know I'm a bit of an Atari-freak... I've been harvesting a lot of 5200 roms, 2600 roms, 7800 roms, and came across an Atari XL/XE emulator which ROCKS to be modest...

Problem with that is actually, that is doesn't use roms. Is uses cas-files (cassette emulation) or atr-files (disk images). Still very nice (tad bit old) games though if you're into that sort of thing...

Everywhere I look, I just see ROMS, but where is there a nice site which serves games in the other ways? I only found a polish site (unbelievably unreadable for most) with cas-files.

Now I've refound some old friends. They provided me with a whopping 2 CD set with loads of PD and commercial software, most in ATR files. I've been drooling over it since.

Oh yeah, and I found about 25 special bootroms for this emulator, or for a real Atari. Found it on a really old moldy 1.44MB flop, and gladly got it to work. All stuff I never have seen anywhere else on the entire internet, yet.

Is there still anyone who'd like to have such files? I know I love 'm, but since the Atari XL/XE has been out of time since most of you were even born, I wonder if there's still any of you young ppl who'd like to play games in the old-style without all the 3-D, OpenGL, CD quality sound etc...

Well ThaMasster, I don't really know how you do it, but you can figure that I don't have about 2 GB of space I can run 24/7...

Also checking out all those atr-files etc is a lot of work, but when I've sorted it through, would you like to have it, to add to the already extremely extensive collection you have here?

Will certainly be a pain to describe all games/files and PD disks, but it's worth it when I can upload it somewhere to be found for everyone.

Chris doesn't actually have them, RaF is the hoster of the roms I believe. . .

the server is ran from my comp... my ADSL provider says i can only have 10gb/download + upload,,, so i need to stay within those limits, but i'm pretty when i had my n64 server back in the day i went over the limits but never heard anything from my provider... maybe they wont care if i go over the limit :D
