New version of the Atari 800/5200 emu released

Christian Groessler has released version 0.71 of Atari800DC, here’s what’s been updated this time around:

  • use Atari800 1.2.3 code base
  • support to save/restore status on VMU. The status will be saved on the first VMU found, unless the configuration file contains an entry for STATE_DIR which is not empty and not “.”.
  • changing video mode of emulated Atari (PAL/NTSC) now change the video refresh rate of the DC (50 for PAL/60 for NTSC). Since the timing of atari800dc now depends on the video refresh rate, the PAL/NTSC differences are better emulated.
  • support for the Arcade Stick.
  • implemented double buffered screen update with the possibility to switch at runtime between normal screen update and double buffered version.

    The plain files + pavelbure’s easier to burn plain files can be found on our Atari800DC page. Thanks to pav for posting the news in this forum topic.
