Online Atari VCS emulator on websites (java)?

[Simon]

Hello,

 

is there an emulator available for playing Atari VCS right on a website games on a website?

I envision a website window in which a predefined .bin files is able to being played using the cursor keys.

 

Is there any emulator running directly on a website (Java, or something similar)?

 

It would be really great if I could present my own games playable at http://www.quernhorst.de/atari/

 

Thank you!

Simon

You can use JStella. It's used on Atarimania and Spiceware's site:

If you view the source at my site you'll see how to set up multiple games on the same page. Turn the console off to select a different game, turn the console back on to play the selected game. Each game's instructions also get loaded in a block below the Atari.

new game selected, instructions updated:

 

Heads up - there's an issue with JStella and Safari 4 Beta - the display is stretched and clipped:

 

I found that resizing the browser window fixes the problem:

 

It works correctly in WebKit so I expect the official Safari 4 release will work OK.

 

 

There's also a problem with Internet Explorer - it gives the java display too much room which cracks Nathan's TV. Safari and Firefox on Windows work OK. I haven't worked around it because Microsoft's not worth the trouble

Thank you very much!

 

This looks great!! :-)

 

I'll check out that applet file instructions and test my own games with it soon.

 

Thanks again and best regards,

Simon

I think you're using an old version of Thrust, or at least I'm not hearing the title music.

Thanks! I worked with Mauvila quite a bit to get all the javascript support in place, and Nathan was kind enough to send me hi-res versions of Artie and Anna to use. It took quite a while to chop up the images, which is why I've blown off fixing the broken TV in Internet Explorer. I think the way to fix it would be chop out a taller section in the middle of the TV and set the background color for that cell of the table to be black.

 

Before Artie and Anna I didn't use anything for the TV and had generic arrow graphics for the console. The arrows are still visibile on the dedicated Medieval Mayhem and Stay Frosty pages.

You're right - the online one is v 1.2 while my cartridge is v 1.8. I've stuck a note on my monitor to track down the right ROM it.
