JKK Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 *** Go back to the amazing era of 8-bit computers! Run old games and programs on your home computer under Windows or Linux! *** Instructions on how to install and configure the Atari 8-bit emulator (especially 800XL/800XE/65XE/130XE) on today's computers. It applies to both Linux Ubuntu and Windows. By the way, a short history and demonstration of the iconic game River Raid (Activision).

MrMaddog Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I know everyone here uses Altirra for it's accuracy, but Atari800Plus is still good for a full screen emulator to run from a front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Altirra is Windows only and I'm Linux guy. Another thing this accuracy problem which is know as a bit weaker side of Atari800 is in practice only important when creating new software. Then you are risking that the software which works under emulator will not work on real Atari. For guys who run old programs and don't develop, it doesn't make any difference in my opinion. Please extend my horizons if I'm wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I haven't tried for a few years but the only emulator where I could get trakball emulation working was Altirra. Altirra should work under linux with wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goya Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) does anyone know how to build the atari800 emulator for windows 10 using visual studio and sdl for audio and video instead of directx? Edited May 11, 2021 by goya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
