Downloads

RPM packages I have made, modified, or rebuilt:
I’m still learning about building RPMs. There is a remote chance that installing one of these may leave crumbs in your bed, knock over your ant farm, and/or spill coffee in your lap. I do make an attempt at testing them, though, and they work fine on my system.

Please contact me (billb) on the Yellow Dog Community Board if you have a problem or question re: one of these.

atari800-2.0.3-1.ppc.rpm - Atari800 is an Atari 800, 800XL, 130XE and 5200 emulator for Unix, Amiga, MS-DOS, Atari TT/Falcon, SDL and WinCE. Great for playing the original version of Jumpman!

Start from the command line with:
atari800-sdl -width x -height y -bpp 32

For example, if you’re running at full 720p (ps3-video-mode 131):
atari800-sdl -width 960 -height 720 -bpp 32

See the documention for usage info: /usr/share/doc/atari800

Requires Atari 800 ROMs to run. Legally available here in the xf25.zip file below.

xf25.zip - “Darek Mihocka got the permission from Atari corp. to distribute the images of Atari 800XL’s OS and BASIC ROMs. The XFormer 2.5 package that contains these ROM images is free now so download and unpack it to get the ROM files needed for Atari800 run.” On my system I keep them in: /usr/share/atari800

After unzipping the ROMs to the desired folder you must configure
the Atari 800 emulator to find them. Press F1, go to Emulator Configuration, select Find ROM image in a directory, navigate to the directory where you unzipped them, and press the spacebar to confirm.
