Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2 is a compilation of four Midway arcade games: Gauntlet, Marble Madness, Paperboy, and RoadBlasters. It also includes Crystal Castles and Millipede from Atari. The compilation contains artwork and info on each game, and all games are presented in their original format. The game was well received, with the Official UK PlayStation Magazine saying that it was "the best retro collection to date", but that most of the games failed to hold their own in the 1990s. They noted that Marble Madness played better with a joypad than with the original trackball, and that Paperboy was the highlight.
There are two components for playing a psx Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2 game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
The second component is the Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2 game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest Retroarch – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading Retroarch, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the RetroArch-1.7.5-x86-setup.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 2. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to Retroarch and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
