Atari 8Bit Emulation Tool For Mac OSX.
I have ported the SDL version of this emulator to Mac OSX, and added a full native Cocoa interface, including Preferences, Menus, File Associations, Help and more. Unlike the first primitive release, it now does not require libSDL to be installed seperately, but includes it within the application package.
It does however require ROM image files from the original Atari systems, which are not included here. Special Thanks go to Jacek Poplawski for writing the general SDL port, and the entire libSDL team that has made this port possible, as well as to the whole Atari800 team for their invaluable support and suggestions. Please visit their website (http://atari800.sourceforge.net/) for full info on their emulator core.
Requirements:
Source requires Apple Mac OSX Development Tools. Note: Please download source only if you are going to use it. My ISP has a bandwidth limitation, so if you are curious about only a portion and don't need the whole thing, please email me.
Requires OS X 10.2 for basic functionality, and OS X 10.3 or 10.4 for Epson and Atari 825 Printer Emulation
Atari800MacX has required many hours of work in development, and is now Donationware. If you enjoy it, please Donate through this link. (TO THE AUTHOR)
