A7800 is a fork of the MAME Atari 7800 driver, with several enhancements added.

  • Support for emulation of Proline Joysticks, VCS Joysticks, Lightguns, Paddles, Driving Controllers, Keypads, Trak-Balls, Amiga Mice, and ST Mice.

  • Maria DMA timing has been improved further, with the addition of accurate DMA hole penalties.

  • Improved saturated/normalized colors with palette selection.

  • Streamlined UI including menu options to have an Atari 7800 system focus.

  • A bug in the existing RIOT emulation has been fixed.

MAME compatibility and syntax has been maintained, to allow for the reuse of MAME configuration files and front-ends.
