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:
|
|
|
|
http://www.signus.demon.co.uk/david/
|
|
http://zippy.sonoma.edu/~kendrick/nbs/new_and_emu.html
|
|
ftp://ftp.hackerz.com/hackerz/atari/web/index.html
|
|
comp.sys.atari.8bit
|
|
|
|
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/".
|
|
|
|
If you have any general Atari questions then you might get a more
|
|
fruitful response by posting them to the news group, as the emulation
|
|
and questions mailing list won't be up-to-date with all things
|
|
Atari. However the FreeBSD emulation mailing list is dedicated to
|
|
discussing the emulation of other O/S's so don't be shy. Please check
|
|
Section 25 of the handbook for information on the mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
Share and enjoy,
|
|
