Atari800

8-bit and 5200 emulator for the Maemo platform

 

This is a port of the Atari800 Emulator from atari800.atari.org. It emulates the entire (well most) 8bit computer line from Atari including:

Atari 800 OSA (16k, 48k, 52k)  and OSB (16k, 48k, 52k)
600XL (16k)
800XL (64k)
130XE (128k)
Atari XL/XE Series 64k, 128k, 320k (Rambo and Compy), 576k and 1088k versions
Atari 5200 VGS

It supports (that I have found) .ROM, .ATR, .XEX, and .XFD images.

Currently, it is a bit on the slow side (especially when sound is enabled) but playable.

The N8x0 menu button launches the in-emulator menu, the FULLSCREEN button toggles Fullscreen mode and the D-pad /center button acts as the joystick (when enabled, see below)

It can be configured by an in-emulator menu (see first  image) and can work as a full fledged computer or as a game machine.. (see other screen shots...) (Click on images for Full size)

        

Download the install file: atari800-2.0.3-3.armel.deb

Download the source: atari800.tar.gz  (just a tar-ball of the entire directory...)

Or by editing the /home/user/.atari800.conf file manually. The file looks like this:

Directories for the Hard Disks




Machine Type, best to set this in the in-emulator menu
You can set this to any of the valid sizes.
Pal is available as well
Set to 1 to use the Atari Basic programming language
The SIO obviously


Newer Pokey chip support

Key Clicks and such
Set to 1 to play games (uses the dpad center as fire, so must be disabled to use return key on keyboard)
The rest of these allow you to set the keys used for the joystick I recommend leaving them off the
config altogether and using the defaults I have in the code and only turning them on and off in the config.
but I leave them here so you know what they could be set for.

The config in the package does NOT have anything but SDL_JOY_0_ENABLED=0 in it.













 

There is a /home/user/.atari.sh launch script that I use to set start parameters that I have not found a way to set in the .cfg file.
This is the default script included in the package, it is VERY simple now that I have the in-emulator menu working, it was rather long...

/usr/games/atari800 -windowed -width 600 -height 432 -bpp 16

This sets the optimal screen size and color depth as well as launching it windowed. There are far more options for this script to use they are:
