Getting Atari ROMs ------------------ The Atari ROMs can be downloaded from: http://prdownloads.sf.net/atari800/xf25.zip Note that if you don't own an Atari, getting the ROMs via ftp may not be legal. You must have the ROMs to use this emulator. The system admin should install the ROMS in /usr/local/lib/atari/ROMS/. Getting Atari Software ---------------------- To add other software, you'll have to find your own disk images (some are in the xf25.zip I mentioned above), and install them in: /usr/local/lib/atari/DISKS Running the Emulator -------------------- In the past, 3 versions of the Atari emulator were needed to support both an X version and either vga or curses version for the console. With the incorporation of the SDL interface, the same code can run in both the console and an X window. While the other compilations will still be included in the package and can be called explicitly as atari800.x11 or atari800.curses, when atari800 is entered, or selected from a menu in X, the SDL library interface version will be executed. The previously provided script that selected which code to execute is no longer provided, as it is no longer necessary. At some point, with the possible exception of the curses version, all but the SDL version will be eliminated, for brevity sake. Luck, -- Dale Scheetz
