Subject: [stella] Introducing myself (New Emulator in developement!) From: nakedman@xxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 04 Jun 1999 00:09:51 -0400 |
Hello! First off I would like to say a big Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this group. It has been the MOST valuable asset in the beginning of my new emulator. It is also great to know that there are other people out there who still appreciate and marvel at the technical skills of classic programmers. My name is Phillip Powers and I have been working about a month on an Atari2600 emulator for Linux. DOS support was made briefly, but as I have no access to a DOS/Windows machine it is quite difficult to continue this. The name of my emulator, right now, is Emulatar (Thoughts about that one?). Right now this is definately NOT a playable emulator. It works with a great number of ROMs and some of them are even SOMEWHAT playable (Pitfall, defender..) There is no bank-switching support right now, but this is something I have been neglecting and will implement very shortly. Last night I was thinking of a way to repay all that this group has given me information-wise. I figured the best thing I could contribute would be an emulator with a great debugger. So tonight, for the short period I could actually work on this thing, that's what I started work on. Please let me know of how you would like to see this implemented. I have a website set up: emulatar.atari.org (or www.angelfire.com/mo/atari if for some reason the other doesn't work). On this page there is 1 snapshot of Pitfall displaying the preliminary support for a debugger I have made tonight. What do you think about the half/half idea? Also note that I have been upgrading the code so the actual pitfall image isn't quite right. In the last two or three days I have gone from 13 FPS (sheesh!) to right around 60, but sacrificed just a LITTLE bit of usability that I have almost sorted out. Please let me know what you think. I am anxious to hear from some fellow 2600 enthusiasts!
