Atari800DC 0.75!

posted in Site News by gamer on Jan 29th, 2003

Well i do have a Dreamcast, but i've never tried emulators for them so i also won't know how this one works and so on, but it has good potential and it seems very good from what i've heard so it's worth a burn. The author of the main site says this...
  • uses Atari800 cvs code base as of jan-11-2003.
  • reverted the sound changes which were introduced in the 0.72 version - the sound should be similar to 0.71.
  • saved states on the VMU now show a Atari icon. Due to a change in the layout of the state save file, saved states of previous versions aren't recognized.
  • changing video mode of emulated Atari now doesn't change the video mode used to drive the screen.
  • These 2 video mode settings (what the emulated Atari thinks the video mode is, and the video mode used by the DC) can now be changed independently. Setting them to different values will disable double buffering, so best results are achieved if both settings are the same.
  • buttons B, X, Y on the 1st DC controller can now be redefined to generate simulated key presses on the keyboard. If they are redefined, the Start, Select, and Option keys can be entered in the keyboard emulation screen.
You can download this emulator in the Atari800 Emulators for Dreamcast section.
