Atari emulators

Atari Emulator list. This article lists the emulators that have been written for or ported to Atari machines, and allow them to emulate other platforms.

• For a list of emulators of Atari machines, for emulating an Atari on other computers and consoles, please see Emulators.

The following table shows known emulators, which computer or console they emulate, and the Atari machine on which they will run.

Atari Emulation Table

Name	Platform emulated	Target platform	Description	Year
Atari800	Atari 800 Atari 800XL/130XE Atari 5200	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Continually developed by Atari800 team. There is a need for some rework in source code since it is a long time the last Atari Falcon binary appeared and Petr Stehlik (Atari Falcon port's maintainer) seems to lost interest in building Atari Falcon binaries. There were two versions, one with native 68030 assembly core and one with official "C" language core for emulation. [1]	2007
ATOnce	IBM XT/286 386sx (Vortex)	ST/E, Mega STE	Came in the form of card that had to be installed internally, and piggy-backed onto the 68000. Was not very good for playing DOS games, but could run Window 3.0. The 386sx version was called the Vortex	1993?
CaSTaway	Atari ST	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Port of SDL CaSTaway to the TOS Family [2]	2007
Frodo	Commodore C64	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Apparently emulates at playable speed. Ported by Peter "PeP" [3]	2007
Handy	Atari Lynx	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Software emulation, no Lynx add-ons required. Emulates at playable speed on a CT60, results on other systems not tested. Ported by Peter "PeP" from open-source Handy emulator [4]	2007
SMS Plus	Sega Master System Sega Gamegear	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Apparently emulates at playable speed. Ported by Peter "PeP" [5]	2007
Spectre GCR	Apple Macintosh Classic	ST. Not Falcon/TT compatible(?)	Came in the form of a cartridge, which contained Mac rom's and some hardware required for compatibility. Was quicker than original Macintosh	1989?
Spectrum Emulator	Spectrum ZX81	All Atari machines	Complete software emulation, no hardware add-ons required, and almost as fast as an original ZX81. Certainly fast enough to allow the playing of games. Distributed on PP98	1992?
v2600	Atari 2600	Accelerated Falcon TOS Clone	Software emulation, no 2600 add-ons required. Emulates at playable speed on a CT60, results on other systems not tested. Ported by Peter "PeP" [6]	2007
