PSPAtari


Zx-81, from our forums, has released a beta of PSPAtari, an emulator for the Atari 800/800XL/130XE/5200. This release is a port for the PSP from the original author, Petr Stehlik.

Controls:
Square - Fire2
X - Fire1
Circle - Space
L - Escape
R - Start
Start + L + R - Exit emulator
Select - Main menu enter
Start - Open/Close on-screen keyboard

It is important to note, that PSPAtari is a first beta release and as such much work still remains to improve the emulator including sound support, changing hardware type (at the moment you can only rum Atari 800 ROMS), resizing the screen etc etc

PSPAtari is compatible on all PSP firmware up to v2.6. Please see the readme.txt included in the download for further instructions.

why do you continue to release such crap?

   by FLai (Unregistered) - 2006-06-09
 » you suck

yet another emulator eh? ZX81?

you say these take you up 80 hours yet you keep popping out these wanky old emulators, for gods sake produce something good you limelight grabbing low life,

get ready for loads of toss updates, like the ability to exit, added a title sceen, emulated the boredom...................

thank god that you must be running out of doorstops to emulates, then you'll either die off into the shadows or you may actually have to program something good for a change.

Edited by QJ. NET Staff, because:
Limit the name-calling please. There are a lot of ways to get your point across constructively. And I'm sure the developer will value it more if you do it that way, esp. since I can sense you have substantial programming knowledge yourself. Thanks.:)

@12: thanks for all your constructive comments, you're a major contributor on the psp scene.

@10: no

@11: nobody asks you to download it ;).

@others: thanks.

Thanks a lot for this, zx81. Brings back a lot of old memories. Hopefully a version with sound and the oppurtunity of changing the hardware will soon emerge from your labs. M.U.L.E., here I come......

Your emulators are a great contribution to the PSP-homebrew-scene. Thanks a lot for these !

zx-81, thank you for revisiting the Atari 5200 emu, I now know it's in good hands. Keep up the mad crazy work...your releases are inspiring to us all.

Finally! I hope that soon all 8bit-lovers will get full working atari emu. Thank you!

 » Thank You zx-81!

Can you add Atari 2600 support in the future please? The last Atari 2600 emulator on the scene was Stella back in September 7, 2005. :(

I really want to play Pitfall, Megamania, and River Raid on the go. Not to mention Space Invaders of course.

 » Nice

I love it..Its nice to get some atari stuff on you psp. The only problem I have is what should I play first;)

 » jag?

Can you try and incorporate or produce a good Atari jaguar emulator? Granted you won't be able to write it in BASIC like all your other emulators, but then times have changed and the games for this emulator are incredibly dated and virtually unplayable. this emulator would be more suited to the original game boy

This reminds me of when i were in hospital after a car crash.
I had strange dots in front of my eyes, horrible screeching in my ears and i were in unholy pain

Did i read right? ZX81 programs his emulators in Basic? wow isn't that like ancient or something? thats bogus man! Wouldn't it be better if you did it in C++?

 » re no.15 - ZX81 emulator

there is a zx81 emulator!!

its where you play a developer, the first few levels are really easy coz you just do ports of simple ancient games and systems like the old colecovision,

progressing through levels and you have to do emulators for more modern machines such as GBA, but ultimataly your 'character' finds it too difficult and instead of revelling in the challenge like any decent programmer, you end up going back and porting some easy stuff again like an Atari 800,

The final few levels are when your 'character' desperatatly searches for that old ancient emulator left for him to port, having already done virtually every thing within his programming power he finally finds that ellusive machine........................

Grandstand Pong

100 versions of pong including tennis and squash.

its a great emulator, search for it on this site look for ZX81

@20,@21, @23 : Thanks :). Atari2600, 7800 or Jaguar are not emulate by Atari800 ... I've to port other emus for that ;) ...

@27 : lol ! I don't know where you have read that, but i do use the langage of the emulator i port, so mainlly written in c++, c ;).

You're the man, anyone who says otherwise is selling something, or has a personal vendetta.

Thank you for all of your work, not to mention the continual updates. The fact that there's now a 2600 emu for the 2.6 is fantastic.

rock on man,
