Créé par Avery Lee (l’auteur de VirtualDub), il s’agit d’un émulateur d’Atari 8 bits (800/800XL/130XE) disponible en 32 et 64 bits. Il dispose de beaucoup d’options ainsi que d’une bonne compatibilité. Il prend en charge les jeux protégés conformément à l’émulation. Il s’agit d’une version de développement au stade de béta.
Adds support for emulating 1050, Happy 1050, Speedy 1050, Super Archiver, and TOMS 1050.
Caveats:
– 1050 emulation will use more CPU time, since its controller runs at 1MHz instead of 500KHz.
– Formatting enhanced or double density will not work yet. Reading ED/DD will work on the drives that support it, though.
– Happy 1050 warp speed has some timing problems.
– Super Archiver does not support the write gate or Bit Writer.
– Drive sound is a little off since I can’t tell from the emulator side whether the firmware has finished the seek or not (the regular disk emulator uses a different sample for full track steps).
As a side note, TOMS 1050 serial timing is way off. I haven’t seen firmware send bytes more slowly than that particular one, and the stock 1050 firmware was already on the slow side.
