EmuNations

--4.1.0--

New Features

• Atari800 now includes Altirra BIOS-es for all emulated systems: 400/800,
  XL/XE, and 5200; as well as Altirra BASIC. It is now possible to use the
  emulator without providing any ROM images.

• The Altirra OS-es and Altirra BASIC can now be selected by users in the
  "System settings", if they want to use them. Previously Altirra OS was used
  automatically only when no other OS ROMs were found.

• joyhat support for all four real joysticks, configurable in CLI/cfg/TUI

Notable changes

• All documentation specific to building Atari800 on Windows has been moved
  from DOC/INSTALL to a new file, DOC/BUILD.windows. This document
  has also been expanded with a new chapter covering building Atari800 using
  MSYS2.

• Ability to use the built-in EmuOS firmware has been removed. Users wishing
  to run Atari800 without providing OS ROMs now have an option of using the
  built-in Altirra OS-es, which are compatible with much more Atari software
  than EmuOS.
  At the same time, it is still possible to compile a version of Atari800
  without any OS ROMs built in, by means of the --disable-altirra_bios
  configure option.

--4.0.0--

This is a free and portable Atari 8-bit computer and 5200 console emulator,
originally written by David Firth and now developed by the Atari800
Development Team (please see DOC/CREDITS). This program is copyrighted and
released under the GPL (see COPYING).

Please read DOC/README, DOC/INSTALL and DOC/USAGE.

For news in this release please do read DOC/NEWS.

If you have a problem running this emulator please read DOC/FAQ first.
If the problem persists then please ask in newsgroup comp.sys.atari.8bit
or in the atari800-users mailing list (see below).

Look at DOC/BUGS before reporting something you consider a bug.

If you want to help developing Atari800 emulator you can subscribe to our
mailing list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/atari800-users).
DOC/TODO might point you in the right direction.

This version, and all versions back to 0.8.2 have been released by me (Petr
Stehlik) and are now available at Sourceforge.net (URL below).

--3.0.0--

New features

• Option to automatically save configuration on exit

• More settings saved in configuration:currently attached tape file
  cartridge settings, including currently attached cartridges
  state of R-Time 8
  system settings, including Mosaic/Axlon RAM size
  

• New Tape Management menu - can now create blank tape images, switch tape
  to read/write in order to save additional data at the end of the current
  tape image, rewind/fast forward the tape, and mark it as read-only. See
  DOC/USAGE for details.

• Displaying tape position when "Show sector/block counter" is enabled.

• Reworked Cartridge Management menu - now displays filename of the
  attached cartridge.

• Option to disable restarting of the machine after cartridge change.

• When attaching a cartridge from the command line, cartridge type can now
  be specified using the new -cart-type and -cart2-type options.

• New cartridge types supported:OSS 8 KB cartridge
  OSS two chip 16 KB cartridge (043M)
  Blizzard 4 KB cartridge
  AST 32 KB cartridge
  Atrax SDX 64 KB cartridge
  Atrax SDX 128 KB cartridge
  Turbosoft 64 KB cartridge
  Turbosoft 128 KB cartridge
  Ultracart 32 KB cartridge
  Low bank 8 KB cartridge
  SIC! 128 KB cartridge
  SIC! 256 KB cartridge
  SIC! 512 KB cartridge
  Standard 2 KB cartridge
  Standard 4 KB cartridge
  Right slot 4 KB cartridge
  

• The configure script can now auto-detect some of the available display and
  sound interfaces before compiling.

• Option to enable XEP80 added to The Emulator Settings menu.

• Emulation of the 1200XL, including console LEDs, no built-in BASIC, the
  F1-F4 keys (mapped to arrow keys in the SDL version) and the on-board
  J1 jumper.

• Emulation of the XE Game System, including the built-in game and
  detachable keyboard.

• Revamped the Select System menu (now called System Settings). Can now
  select many system settings, including RAM expansions, OS and BASIC
  revision, and more.

• System ROM settings moved to a separate menu. Now it stores paths to all
  known official revisions of the Atari OS, the 5200 BIOS, all BASIC
  revisions, and the XEGS built-in game. The OS revision to use is chosen
  automatically when selecting a machine type (for example, the 400/800 OS
  PAL or NTSC version is chosen depending on the selected TV system).

• 400/800: Emulation of all RAM sizes achievable with different combinations
  of the CX852 and CX853 modules - from 8 to 48 KB.

• Emulation of 32/48KB memory sizes in the XL/XE mode, compatible
  with memory expansions for the 600XL manufactured by RC Systems.

• Emulation of the MapRAM hardware hack.

• Display settings: "Hue" renamed to "Tint". Tint now configurable also in
  PAL mode.

New Android port features

• Renamed Atari800 Android port to "Colleen"

• Implemented extended key remapping

• Implemented the B: device (8-bit games can reach the web now)

• Support for Xperia play keycodes added

• Remapped dpad enter to break

• Added paddle emulation

• Optimized file selector, allow roaming outside of ext. storage dir

• Added an exclusion border for paddle mode

• Implemented state saving

• Implemented Planetary Defense mode, a Koala Pad click-where-I-point mode

• Natively supported UI on post-Honeycomb devices

• Fixes for Jelly Bean (audio stuttering, keypad dialogs, soft keyboard)

• Added new dialog for cartridge type selection

• UI fine tuning

General Fixes

• Bugfixes in cassette emulation - works reliably even for tape images with
  long (> 4096 B) blocks.

• Fixes in save states - loading of save states works correctly even with an
  attached bank-switched cartridge or with an Axlon/Mosaic RAM expansion.
  Note 1: Format of the state files has changed. Old save states can still
  be opened, but newly-created ones cannot be opened in older versions of
  Atari800.
  Note 2: Tape position is not restored on loading of save states. Do not
  save state during tape loading/saving - it won't work as expected.

• "Disable BASIC when booting Atari" no longer emulates pressing of the
  Option key when in the 400/800 mode.

• Fixed a bug with BASIC sometimes disabling itself when switching system
  type to 400/800

• Minor bugfixes in file selector

• Fixed emulation of SpartaDOS X piggyback cartridge functionality

• "Save Screenshot" fixed - it saved an interlaced screenshot instead of a
  normal one.

• SDL version: Swapped mapping of right and middle mouse buttons, to make it
  identical to the X11 and Win32 ports.

• Monitor: fixed displaying/disassembling of memory area $D000-$D7FF - with
  the new supported cartridge types, code may reside on page $D5, and now it
  can be debugged.

• SDL version: fixed a blue border when in OpenGL BGRA32 mode.

• Minor fixes in parsing of command-line options.

• Rewritten XEP80 emulation - now more accurate and supports switching
  between NTSC/PAL modes with correct aspect ratio. XEP80 emulation now
  requires a charset ROM image, path to which should be set in the
  XEP80_CHARSET line in the config file.

• Fixed operating system patches not working with all official revisions of
  the OS.

• Fixed emulation of separate ANTIC/CPU access to XE RAM when Self-Test is
  enabled.

• Fixed the emulator menu sometimes being displayed incorrectly (missing
  font) when running without an OS ROM image.

• Improved accuracy of generated colours in PAL mode.

• Fixed emulation of the H: read operation - Turbo Basic's BLOAD now works
  on H: devices.
