Javatari Emulator is now Javatari.js! 100% HTML5/Javascript

[Paulo Peccin]

Hello,

I am very happy to annouce that Javatari is now Javatari.js!

The emulator has been completely rewritten, and is now 100% in HTML5 and Javascript.

Please visit http://javatari.org

That means it runs in any modern browser:

- No more need for the Java VM/Plugin

- No security issues or warnings

- Runs in Chrome, which has blocked the Java plugin since April/15

- Tested to run with good speed in Chrome and Firefox, but should run in Safari and maybe in IE 11. Tweaks for those coming soon.

Websites that use Javatari to offer online Atari 2600 ROMs to play, like Atarimania, VirtualAtari, Rebobine and so should update to the new version!

Javatari.js is very easy to integrate into websites, due to its HTML nature. Also more customizable.

Please let me know if you need help or support.

Javatari.js supports almost everything the old Javatari did, including:

- Real, clickable Atari Console user interface

- All major ROM formats

- Keyboard and Gamepad controllers

- Savestates and State ROM files

- Full Screen

More features will come in the next versions.

The Java version continues to be supported, for use outside the browser.

If you have any feedback or bug report, please let me know via PM, or post in the discussion forum:

Regards,

Paulo
