Author' comment:
Oops... regression in 16-bit timer handling. This version also allows finer grained speed adjustments by 1%. I forgot to add this to the change log. I also have some fixes pending for display issues with the Windows 8 Developer Preview, but I doubt anyone's hitting those at the moment.

Author' comment:
OSS 8K and ROM path shuffling should be fixed. The OSS 8K mode is the same as the OSS M091 mode except that an 8K ROM is used instead of a 16K ROM. One difference between it and regular 8K is that the OSS 8K cart can be disabled whereas the standard 8K can't.
I hooked up the BASIC cart to the BASIC option for pre-800XL machines because it's such a commonly needed cartridge. I should change it to a different option now that the option's been renamed, but I'm not going to do it until after post 2.0.

Author' comment:
I missed the comment about the ROM image issue -- it's a bug in the code that saves it. I messed up the array order. I'll fix it on the next revision.
AFAIK there is no standard name for the XEGS kernel ROM image. What you should have for it is a 16K image; the BASIC and Missile Command (game) ROM images should be separate. I've heard rumors that the XL/XE and XEGS operating systems are actually the same and it's just that the XEGS support was added in a later revision.

I was struck by both nostalgia and ambition and started to write a new 8-bit Atari emulator from scratch. This is the result.
At this point, I've learned a lot more about the Atari and Altirra now emulates more than I ever had or did years ago, but I still work on it periodically. It also serves as a modularity test for the VirtualDub code base, from which Altirra shares some components. If you are struck by nostalgia too or have a desire to do some Atari development, perhaps it might be useful to you, too.
