0. Q: Where to get ROM files for the emulator?
|
|
A: Download the xf25.zip from http://prdownloads.sf.net/atari800/xf25.zip
|
|
You'll get three .ROM files - ATARIBAS.ROM, ATARIOSB.ROM and ATARIXL.ROM.
|
|
We cannot distribute them due to licensing and copyright issues. Sorry.
|
|
In Atari800 UI there is an option to locate these ROM images.
|
|
|
|
1. Q: I want Windows version of Atari800 with Windows GUI.
|
|
A: Try Atari800Win PLus: http://atariarea.histeria.pl/PLus/index_us.htm
|
|
|
|
2. Q: If I use keyboard as the emulated joystick in the DOS version
|
|
it often stops some games (e.g. Bruce Lee). What should I do?
|
|
A: Press F7 to switch the keyboard into joy-only mode. Or better,
|
|
use a real joystick (either PC or the old CX-40 Atari one).
|
|
|
|
3. Q: How about keyboard joysticks in the SDL version?
|
|
A: Up to two keyboard joysticks can be freely defined and enabled/disabled
|
|
on-the-fly in the UI (user interface). Press F1 to enter the UI, then
|
|
enter "Controller Configuration" and then "Define layout of ...".
|
|
There you can choose which keys will be used as joystick directions
|
|
and the fire button. Don't forget to enable the joysticks before
|
|
gaming and to disable it before using your keyboard in BASIC, DOS
|
|
or a text editor. When you're satisfied with your keyboard joystick
|
|
mapping you can save the settings.
|
|
|
|
4. Q: Sound problems in xxx
|
|
A: We know about problems with volume-only sound (digitized sound effects).
|
|
See the BUGS file. You can try disabling the new HIFI Pokey
|
|
emulation (in the UI go to Sound Settings and disable the HIFI there).
|
|
|
|
I also experienced sound problems in SDL on my Debian GNU/Linux with ESD
|
|
(a sound daemon coming with GNOME) that were fixed by installing
|
|
the libsdl1.2debian-alsa package (that is compiled to output sound
|
|
directly to ALSA instead of going through the ESD (this is applicable
|
|
only if you are using ALSA (http://alsa-project.org/) and have ESD
|
|
running, of course).
