Re: First porting effort.. atari800 emulator
 

Yet another version, really making progress now..

In this version the SDL_Joy_0 is off by default (turn on in /home/user/.atari800.cfg)

However, the launch script has been shortened due to the fact that I have the emulation menu working now.

The menu button on the N800 will open the emulators config menu where you can set locations for ROMS, HD's, FD's. It will let you create blank floppy images, you can set the system type, basically set everything you could need.

The only glitch I have found is that on some disk images, if you 'insert' the disk and then warm restart it doesn't always survive. I have found the best way to 'insert' a disk and run what is on it is to use the 'Run Atari Program' menu option and point it at the disk image you want to use.

Attached is latest version and a couple screen-shots. You can also take a more in-depth look at it on my site at http://www.n8ftl.com/maemo/ and the original at http://atari800.atari.org

This is fun stuff... I got the Xformer ROMS and managed to boot into BASIC. It seems to be working, but prints a funny character when I press the return key on my n810. Any tips?

Hmmm, thats odd, what charecter is it?
Do you have the 'keyboard' joystick turned off in the emulation settings?
I don't have a N810 so I can't test it on it. But if you dont mind doing some testing for me I am sure we can figure it out...

I turned off the keyboard joystick and now the middle dpad button works as return, which is enough to fiddle in BASIC. The hardkey return still prints a tiny horizontal bar at the top of the character field. I haven't figured out maemo screenshotting yet and the atari800 screenshot was not obvious if it worked or not. I'm willing to try some more testing on the n810.
