You've found David Firth's Atari 800 emulator which can emulate the
|
|
|
|
|
8-bit Atari 800 and XL series of home computers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please refer to /usr/local/share/doc/atari (or equivalent on your
|
|
|
|
|
system) for the distribution documents. A man page has also been
|
|
|
|
|
installed. The system wide configuration file can be found at
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/lib/atari/atari800.cfg (or similar) which you will probably
|
|
|
|
|
want to copy to your home directory, at some stage, to personalise the
|
|
|
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're at all serious about your emulator then you SHOULD check out
|
|
|
|
|
these URL's in the order they're written:

This should get you started and provide you with numerous links to
|
|
|
|
|
other web sites.

The ROM's for the Atari computers are, unfortunately, copyright. This
|
|
|
|
|
port will attempt to down-load another freeware Atari emulator for DOS
|
|
|
|
|
called PC Xformer 2.5 which contains copies of these ROM files. If you
|
|
|
|
|
would like to take a further look at XF2.5 you should find it in your
|
|
|
|
|
distfiles directory (if it successfully down-loaded :->). For more info
|
|
|
|
|
on this emulator check out "http://www.halcyon.com/brasoft/".
