FujiNet was intended to be a network adapter that attaches to the SIO (Peripheral) port of an Atari 8-bit computer system but has become an all encompassing SIO peripheral emulator. Designed to physically interface with any 8-bit Atari system via the SIO port with a 3d printed SIO plug. Also has an SIO jack on the back so that other peripherals can be plugged in as passthrough devices. Powered from the Atari (unless it's used on a 400 or 800, they don't supply enough current).
Emulates data storage on cassettes and floppy disks. Data can be stored on SD card or TNFS network share. Emulates the 850 modem. Emulates most of the common Atari printers, but converts files to PDF and saves them. Implements a brand-new network (N:) device.
Implements Bluetooth, NTP, text-to-speech.
As I haven't found a good source on archiving your personal collection of Atari software on floppy disk, I documented my own progress, so others might benefit from it.
I started looking for methods to copy my floppies to a PC so that when my 1050(s) break down, I still have some of my source code, letters, games, etc. As I only have recent hardware in the form of Apple, PC (intel) 'antiques' - albeit almost 20 years younger than my atari's - laptops from Y2k or a little bit more recent and several 'embedded' stuff in the form of Arduino and Raspberry Pi's, I started this journey by looking into the various methods that are available to hook up one of the aforementioned devices to my Atari and 1050 setup so I could start archiving.
How to use rossumur/esp_8_bit's atr_image_explorer.html file to explore the contents of ATR disk images and disassemble the files.
Atari 8 bit computers, NES and SMS game consoles on your TV with nothing more than a ESP32 and a sense of nostalgia. Simple schematic to rig up video and audio outputs to connect to a television.
Emulates the Atari 400/800, XL, XEGS, 5200, NES, Sega Master System, and Game Gear. Controllers and keyboards must be Bluetooth enabled so that they can connect to the ESP32.
Most interestingly, it has an HTML-with-Javascript page (https://github.com/rossumur/esp_8_bit/blob/master/atr_image_explorer.htm) that stands alone which implements a drag-and-drop .atr image explorer/binary disassembler.
They sell new hardware for classic 8-bits, including flash cards, hardware programmers, and interfaces.
How somebody recapped their 1050 disk drive (as well as the specific parts they used), connected the drive to their PC, and ripped disk images for archival.
New games for classic computers and consoles.
The official, canonical documentation for batari BASIC.
batari Basic (bB) is a BASIC-like language for creating Atari 2600 games. It is a compiled language that runs on a computer, and it creates a binary file that can be run on an Atari 2600 emulator or the binary file may be used to make a cartridge that will operate on a real Atari 2600.
A reference for batari BASIC, a compiled dialect of BASIC for the Atari 2600.
It is here you'll find all sorts of 3D printed parts for your Atari, Apple, Commodore 64/128, VIC-20, Amiga, Texas Instruments computers and other interesting applications. If you have any questions about the products you see here, or have a need for a part you don't see, please do send us a message. We'll respond to you as soon as we can.
We are also beginning to feature difficult to find Commodore electronics projects. Be sure to watch for new additions.
xBIOS is like a programmers version of DOS. With it you can easily access files from your programs without using Atari DOS. It is smaller than DOS and therefore saves memory in your programs. You can even run programs from as low as $0200, however $0800 or $2000 are more common.
Limitations
- New files cannot be created.
- Existing files cannot be extended in length.
- New directories cannot be created programatically.
This is the Commodre 64 KERNAL, modified to run on the Atari 8-bit line of computers. They're practically the same machine; why didn't someone try this 30 years ago?
You will need bash, dasm, and Python 3.
How to take apart an Atari 5200 cartridge.
IRATA.ONLINE is provided for the benefit of retro-computing users to have a place to socialize, and develop interesting multi-user, interactive, and graphical games and social applications. It descends from the historical PLATO system, a massive time-sharing system that lasted from 1962 until NovaNET was closed in 2015. More than a BBS but a bit less than a commercial computing service.
Multiuser. Graphical, so it requires its own cross-platform software. Online games, social network, realtime chat, online development of new applications for the service in a language called Tutor. Has its own client software, Platoterm, for a number of retro platforms, including the Atari 8-bits, C64, Apple IIgs, Atari ST, and the Amiga. There is also an Android port.
An online retailer that sells hard to find parts, upgrades, new peripherals, and software for 8-bit computers, including Commodore, Atari, Apple, and some consoles.
Welcome to the Atari FTP Archive! We're glad to see you enjoy the best computer ever. We are striving to archive as much atari/8bit/demoscene related material as possible and we're doing it since 2002 (previously known as ftp.atari.art.pl). The archive is around 845GB in 938689 files at the moment (11.12.2018).
Another online vendor that sells retrocomputing stuff. Upgrades, addons, and replacements for Amiga, Atari, Commodore, and Sinclair.
Sells recap kits for everything. New keyboard springs, too.
No, I don't know why this has an IP address. It used to be part of bombjack.org.
A collection of free homebrew games for a number of (emulated) systems, packaged for easily running on a Retropie.
