Steem doesnвЂ™t exist in the Mac world, so I was excited to find great emulator called NoSTalgia. You can also set the keyboard to control one or both sticks and the mouse to control one of the paddles. In the preferences tab you can choose to use a game pad for control. I tried out the classic Blue Max and it ran flawlessly. When you have completed this task, you just need to double-click on the Atari800MacX file to get started.

It was another easy install вЂ“ just mount the image and copy the contents to you hard drive вЂ“ complicated only by the need to find and place system roms in the OSRoms folder. The Atari800MacX emulator was every bit as good or better than its Windows counterpart. I tried out Ms Pac-Man and it worked perfectly. I used my Playstation 2 controller plugged into a USB converter and it worked like a charm! has most of the Atari roms (save Activision and a few others) for you to try out. You can set the mouse to control any of the 4 paddles (so Super Breakout is a definite possibility). As a standard, the arrow keys control in the 4 directions, and the key is the fire button. Then, just double-click on the StellaOSX program, then find a rom file on your drive to load in. Just download the disk image, mount it and copied the contents to a folder on your hard drive. The best Atari 2600 emulator I could find was StellaOSX. In most cases they were as easy or easier to use than their Windows counterparts. I was reasonably surprised by the high quality and user friendliness of the MAC emulation community products. In any case I have purchased multiple disk/rom copies of most if not all of these games I play via emulation (I even have Atari ST disc copies in my attic), and using one main computer to play all of my old games is really the most convenient, space conscious way for me to play. Also, I assume that by purchasing all of the compilation disks for various platforms I have some sort of legal leg to stand on if and when I play version in another medium (emulation). Given the nebulous legal nature of emulation, I can not advocate playing any games that have not been released into the public domain. So far, I have found ways to play Atari 2600, Atari 400/800/5200, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, Atari ST and Atari arcade games on the MAC via emulation. I own a copy of EVERY retro game compilation for the PC and Playstation 2, and use these games as inspiration for new games that I create.

That could help some of the remaining Atari users that wish to upgrade their Atari machines.I have recently switched from Windows XP to MAC OS X 10.5 and one of the things I feared upon switching was losing the capability to play all of my old Emulated games.

Maybe some hardware vendor could even sell preconfigured computers that would boot directly to TOS desktop.

One of our goals - to create a distribution installable from a CD that would turn any PC machine into full featured Atari power machine - can be tested with the ARAnyM/AFROS Live CD. Some of us like to think that ARAnyM is yet another TOS clone similar to Medusa, Hades or Milan, but actually much cheaper (because it's free software) and way more powerful (because the host hardware gets faster every day). ARAnyM is better in the sense that it's not tied to specification of an existing Atari machine so we were free to select the most complete CPU (68040 with MMU) and FPU (68882), add loads of RAM (up to 4 GB), host accelerated graphics (even with OpenGL) and direct access to various host resources including sound, disk drives, optical storage devices (CD/DVD-ROMs), parallel port and more.

ARAnyM is a software virtual machine (similar to VirtualBox or Bochs) designed and developed for running 32-bit Atari ST/TT/Falcon operating systems (TOS, FreeMiNT, MagiC and Linux-m68k) and TOS/GEM applications on any kind of hardware - be it an IBM clone (read it as 'PC' :-), an Apple, an Unix server, a graphics workstation or even a portable computer.ДЄRAnyM is not meant as an emulator of Atari Falcon (even though it has a rather high Falcon software compatibility and includes most of Falcon custom chips including VIDEL and DSP).
