Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular computer having quite a lot of CPU power at that time. The Atari ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released by Atari in 1985. For more information please see the Development page. Hatari is an Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon emulator for GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, Windows and other systems which are supported by the SDL library. Since then many new talented programmers joined the Atari800 development team and helped improving the emulator. I also contacted the original Atari800 author, David Firth, who basically agreed with me maintaining the source code and putting out source and binary releases. Later we all got in touch and started working together. The code was written with portability in mind and that allowed various people to create ports of Atari800 for PC, Amiga, Atari, Mac and machines running UNIX-like operating systems.Īs there were no new versions of Atari800 since spring of 1997 several people (Perry McFarlane, Rich Lawrence, Thomas Richter, Radek Sterba, Robert Golias and me) started updating the last available v0.8.0 source code independently. So it was available with full source code in C. Atari Falcon/TT and compatible machinesĪtari800 emulator was written by David Firth in 1995 and released under the GPL.X Window + Optional XVIEW or MOTIF User Interface.
It can be configured to run in the following ways : Is to create a freely distributable portable emulator (i.e. Atari800 is the emulator of Atari 8-bit computer systems and 5200 game consoleįor Unix, Linux, Amiga, MS-DOS, Atari TT/Falcon, MS-Windows, MS WinCE, Sega Dreamcast, Android and other systems supported by the SDL library.
