Getting Atari ROMs
------------------
The Atari ROMs can be downloaded from:
http://prdownloads.sf.net/atari800/xf25.zip
Note that if you don't own an Atari, getting the ROMs via ftp may not be
legal. You must have the ROMs to use this emulator.
To add other software, you'll have to find your own disk images (some are
in the xf25.zip mentioned above). You need to change atari800.cfg to point
to the appropriate directories. It will be created in ~/.atari800.cfg on
the first start of the emulator.
Running the Emulator
--------------------
In the past, 3 versions of the Atari emulator were needed to support both
an X version and either vga or curses version for the console.
With the incorporation of the SDL interface, the same code can run in both
the console and an X window.
Luck,
-- Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>
From the new maintainer:
------------------------
1st takeover
------------
I took over this package from Dale after using it for some years, thanks Dwarf!
Future packages should be build with either
- diskleds (temporarily visible disk activity indicators) or
- siosound (the atari makes some noise for every disk sector transferred).
Please vote!
Join the A-Team to comaintain this and possibly other (Atari-)Emulators and
build some common foundation and knowledgebase for emulation within Debian GNU.
Have a nice day, Martin Albert <ma@debian.org>
2nd takeover
------------
I took over this package from Martin, thanks for excelent work. I am in close
cooperation with Petr Stehlik, who maintains the sources, he is doing
excelent job as a release manager.
Enjoy the package, Antonin Kral <A.Kral@sh.cvut.cz>
