Altirra 2.20 test 3 [August 24, 2012]:.
features added
- Save states: Initial support for external save state files.
bugs fixed
- Disk Explorer: Fixed file deletion on DOS 2 volumes to not leave orphaned directory entries.
- Disk Explorer: DOS 2 validator now allows both DOS 2 719 sector and MyDOS 720 sector VTOCs.
Author's comment
- Portable mode fix, fix for some ROM images getting mixed up in the new UI, a couple of fixes for DOS 2 disks in the Disk Explorer, and partial save state file support. Be warned that the save state support is still not stable, though -- it doesn't do enough checks, so you can cause the emulator to malfunction or crash if you load save states into the wrong version or with radically different configurations. Currently it only checks whether the kernel ROM matches.

I had access to a number of 8-bit computers in my childhood, but my most favorite was the Atari 800, a 1.79MHz 6502-based computer with color graphics and a disk drive, and which as the predecessor to the Amiga, another favorite of mine. Over a decade later, 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.
