USAGE The Atari Rom File Designer is a Windows 32 bits application software. Its purpose is to edit, to disassemble, to modify, and to design (to create) Atari 8 bits Rom files, relative the Atari 800/800XL/130XE... It should be used in parallel with the Atari 800 Emulators, and my sotware should be enclosed with any emulators! 2. REQUIREMENT & INSTALLATION Tests must be carried out to define where is the limit of the minimum configuration, and also the maximum limit.... A Pentium processor with 4Mo RAM, and Windows 32 bits operating system (WIN9X/Me/NT/2000) seems to fit! Installation and Uninstallation is fully manual. Nothing is written in configuration file or in the Windows register. 3. HELP For the moment, the Atari Rom File Designer (ARFD) has no inline help.
