Phaeron opublikował kolejną wersję swojego emulatora Altirra pozwalającego na emulację 8-bitowych konstrukcji firmy ATARI i całej gamy rozszerzeń i dodatków jakie powstały aby dozbroić oryginalną konstrukcję w rozwiązania, które pojawiły się w międzyczasie.

Mouse Trap (Micro Value, 1987)
Altirra 2.20 test 15 [27.11.2012]:.
bugs fixed:
- UI: Non-ASCII characters are now saved correctly into the Altirra.ini file in portable mode.
author's comment
- The most recently used (MRU) list and the input mode menus now show up in full screen mode, and the font rendering should now handle international characters better. Direct3D 11 full screen mode now partially works although it will still screw up if another window appears on top (DXGI limitation).

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.
