The disclaimer first
====================

I don't have anyway to map the mouse to the keyboard yet so you need to use stdisk images that boot straight into the game.

It's good or bad depending on which application you run (i.e. bubble bobble fast , parasol stars slow )

I am pretty new to linux and c so I don't know if I can make this any better than it is already.

Installation
============
1. Copy the folder with all its contents to your dingux

2. Put your tos image in the top level folder with the hatari executable and call it tos.img

3. Put you disk images in the diskimages directory

4 .Create an option in dmenu like this (change as appropriate)

MenuItem ATARI

{

Icon = "res/atari.png"

Name = " "

Executable = "./gohatari"

WorkDir = "/usr/local/games/hatari"

Selector = yes

}



Playing
=======
Up/Down/Left/Right
A - Fire
X - Space
L - Quit
SELECT - brings up menu but as I say I have no way to map the mouse yet.


Configuration
=============

hatari.cfg file has all the configuration see the hatatari documentation on the net for options.

If anyone want to contribute feel free.
I think it needs a bash script to detect game specific configs
Need someway of getting the mouse moving

Excellent - I'll give it a go. I know Scummvm emulates a mouse as they are PC games. You can get the source code from here and see what in there.

nice! Not an Amiga, but still pretty damn good!

Tried some games. Most need the mouse to start them. Ones which worked straight away were:

Buggy Boy - OK
Rick Dangerous - OK
Vroom - Unplayable
Starglider - Mouse game I think

I tried a few out as well

Bubble Bobble - Ok
Magic Land Dizzy - Ok
Parasol Stars - Too Slow
Paradroid 90 - Slow
SmashTV - Ok
Turrican - Ok

It's odd but some games run full speed when you expect them to run like dogs.

WooHoo! Go Atari! Atari Rules! (...and any other fan-based war-cries from my earlier 8bit and 16bit days). The Atari STwas an excellent machine for those of use who couldn't afford an Amiga. Great to see it come to my favorite little handheld. Thanx Mr. Logan!

Ok alpha2 is out (you can tell I know nothing about releasing and stuff

Same download location as the first

What's new in this version
==========================
Mouse control Yee Haa! (at least on the desktop so you can run games that don't boot directly from the disk)
Keymap to provide a couple of extra (probably useful) keys and the facility to add your own

Playing
=======
Up/Down/Left/Right
A - Fire (or double click in mouse mode)
X - Space
Y - 'Y'
N - 'N'
START - Enter
L - Quit
R - Toggle mouse control on/off (turn it off once a games is loaded if you are having control trouble)

SELECT - brings up menu but the mouse dosn't work in there yet.

Need to get the mouse working in the menu.
Better , smoother mouse control.

thank you very much !

This is much better with the mouse control - but can A be a single click? - then you can actually play some of the games that use the mouse - perhaps a bit more fine control and acceleration would also make it more usable.

Great work on this!

Captive - Works fine but can't play because of double click.
Battle Chess - Same issue as above.
Xenon II - too slow
D-Generation - doesn't work
Frontier - Too slow - mouse problem.
Turrican II - can't get passed trainer screen.

Did some more testing.

Wizball - plays fine but can't select options in game (don't know key to press). Very smooth though
Virus - very smooth but controls are all over the place.
Stunt Car Racer - OK
Backlash - Jerky
Boulderdash - Fine
Outrun - OK
Jimmy White Snooker - Fine but needs better control
Archipelagos - Can't get of main screen
Nebulus - playable but jerky
New Zealand Story - OK
Sensible Soccer - very jerky
