VSS Why is this here? After all it is an Atari 5200 emulator, not a full Atari Computer Emulator. Well, I figured that since a 5200 is practically an Atari 8-bit internally (with a few minor changes), and since several of the Computer emulators offer 5200 emulation, I would include any dedicated 5200 emulators that might exist.

VSS seems to have most of the features implemented. It's biggest challange seems to be speed. It's one of the slowest of all the Atari emulators. You'd probably need a decent Pentium to get this to run at full speed.

Platform:MS-DOS
Models Emulated:5200
Emulated:CTIA, Display Lists, DLI's, P/M graphics with collision detection, fine scrolling, joysticks, sound
Compatibility: Good.
Current Version: 0.79

Pros:

Good emulation. Runs games that most other emulators won't (like Gyruss). Now has sound, using Ron Fries' pokey sound library, although this hangs on my system.

Cons:

Kind of slow. enabling frame skipping seems to slow the emulation down even more.
