any later version.
|
|
|
|
This is the emulator of Atari 8-bit computer systems and the 5200 console
|
|
for Unix, Linux, Amiga, MS-DOS, Atari TT/Falcon, MS Windows, MS WinCE,
|
|
Sega Dreamcast, Android and systems running the SDL library.
|
|
Our main objective is to create a freely distributable portable emulator
|
|
(i.e. with source code available).
|
|
It can be configured to run in the following ways :-
|
|
|
|
1. "simple" version (many platforms) - uses only the standard C library
|
|
2. curses (many platforms)
|
|
3. X Window + Optional XVIEW or MOTIF User Interface
|
|
4. CBM Amiga
|
|
5. MS-DOS (DJGPP)
|
|
6. Atari Falcon/TT and compatible machines
|
|
7. MS Windows (DirectX)
|
|
8. SDL (running on _many_ platforms)
|
|
9. WinCE
|
|
10. Sega Dreamcast
|
|
11. JVM (Java applet)
|
|
12. Android
|
|
13. Raspberry Pi
|
|
|
|
The "simple" version is only useful for running programs such as MAC65,
|
|
Atari BASIC etc. I have had this version running on Linux,
|
|
SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.4, Silicon Graphics, VAX/VMS, CBM Amiga
|
|
(Dice C and GNU C), DOS/DJGPP and the HP-UX 9000/380.
|
|
|
|
When using curses, the emulator is similar to the "simple" version, but it
|
|
also enables full screen editing capability. Some computer don't seem to
|
|
support curses fully - SunOS 4.1.3, VAX/VMS, LINUX (but ncurses is OK).
|
|
|
|
The X Window version supports graphics and has an optional XVIEW
|
|
or MOTIF user interface. The Linux X Window version can be built with
|
|
joystick and mouse support.
|
|
|
|
The Amiga version supports graphics but currently lacks Paddle support.
|
|
|
|
The MS-DOS version supports 320x200, 320x240 and even 320x480 interlaced
|
|
graphics, sound (SoundBlaster compatible sound cards, 8bit),
|
|
keyboard, one joystick connected to game port and up to three additional
|
|
digital joysticks connected to parallel (printer) ports and mouse.
|
|
|
|
The Atari Falcon030/040 version supports 320x240 and 336x240 Falcon/TT
|
|
8-bit planes graphics modes, NOVA graphics cards, DMA sound and both
|
|
joysticks (old CX-40, Atari800 compatible - not the new paddle-like ones).
|
|
|
|
The SDL version should compile on Unix, Win32, BeOS, etc... It's optimized for
|
|
8, 16 and 32 color depth. Of course it will work fastest in 8bit. If you use it
|
|
in XFree86 - please set "Depth=8" in XF86Config to gain maximum speed.
|
|
Includes support for joystick and mouse.
|
|
|
|
All versions supporting bitmapped graphics have a User Interface implemented
|
|
on the emulator's "screen". The User Interface is enter by pressing F1 at any
|
|
time. ESC is used to return to the previous screen.
