PSPAtari: Atari 800/130/5200 Emulator for PSP v1.0.5

Thank you. I've fooled around with that menu ad nauseum, but I must have overlooked that option. Duh.

The individual game settings oughta come in handy.

Is the sound better? Or is it still scratchy?

This is close to my favorite A800 emu right next to the GP2X version which has good sound.

I really wanna use the PSP for the better controls, but my ears just can't take it..

Since 1.0.3 or so it's a lot better (as in playable) but it's still not 100%

It reminds me a bit of those "volume boost" options in other emulators, it can also have to do with the POKEY combine-channel option.

The next Atari800 release on sourceforge will have a totally reworked sound emulation (right now sourceforge has the old POKEY and the HiFi POKEY, the latter is not supported in PSPAtari). Perhaps it's better to wait for Atari800 v2.1 or so to do a lot of work on the sound emulation.

See http://atari800.sourceforge.net/ for more information on the 'base' code.

Cool update... I'm not still totally happy of the Pokey emulation but.. it's getting better ;-)

And nice to see that you restarted your emus quest...

What about Hatari (open source, 99% SDL, best non-windows-only ST emu) ? Did you have time to look at it ?
v0.90 was released a few weeks ago, cool improvements.

ZX-81,

To boot up 5200 roms, I am following your directions (Atari 800 Menu/Cartridge Management/Insert Cart, etc.), but when I get back to the game screen, I cannot do anything with it (the game is a Star Wars Death Star Battle game).

On a Star Trek game, I follow the same loading procedure (expect when I select the 5200 cartridge, I have to choose a "2 chip 16KB 5200 cartridge"), and when I tap "L" on the PSP , I get to the main game screen, but cannot get past the screen.

I apologize if I am overlooking something obivious, but is there any advice you could give me?
