As last resort, and for specialĪpplications, some ports provide a curses front-end that renders its output in textual form on a console. Graphics output is either emulated within an X11 window, or - if available - with the SDL library. It offers severalįeatures not available on the real hardware, as single stepping thru programs and setting breakpoints, even in ROM code. Print-out command can be adjusted by means of the command line options and the configuration files (see below).Īdditional features include emulation of the 850 serial/parallel interface box, a screen-snapshot, a complete machine state save and load feature thatĪllows you to stop and replay a game in a later session and sound support by the Open Sound System (Oss) or Alsa sound drivers.įurthermore, to aid the developer, a simple system monitor using a curses terminal front-end has been integrated into the emulator. Print-out text is forwarded to the standard printer tool, which defaults to the lpr printer front-end. However, that an emulation of the Basic ROM is not included.Įmulation of printers is included as well. In case no Atari ROM image is available, atari++ emulates a standard 800XL/130XE ROM image that is sufficient to run almost all programs. As a bonus, the emulation also includes Matthias Reichl's 'atarisio' interface, allowing you to connect a real 1050 orĨ10 drive to the emulating PC by means of a 1050-to-PC or ProSystem cable. Most exe files wouldn't require toīe loaded from a regular DOS therefore. The disk drive emulation supports disk images in the xfd and atr file format, and is also capable of loadingīinary load files (so called exe files) by emulating a mini Game-DOS whose disk layout is similar to Dos 2.0S. The emulation is cycle-precise, that is 'on the fly' modifications of chip registers will be visible on the screen immediately,Įmulating even programs using horizontal kernel tricks correctly.Ītari++ includes also emulation of an extended 1050 disk-drive, capable of single, enhanced and double density and adds some frequent extensionsįound in third-party hardware.

It emulates the Atari800, Atari400, the 800XL and 600XL, the 65XE and 130XE and Atari++ is an emulator for (now rather aged) Atari 8 bit computers.
