Ubuntu on arduino arm emulator
I could be running these on my real machines, I have a boxed Atari 800 XL and an Atari 130 XE but sadly only a taperecoder and no tapes… Luckily I found out that some Atari fans have created an Arduino based sio2sd device but that’s another blog post. Here’s a screenshot of the classic pengo running on the Atari. The emulator supports different kind of atari files like rom, atr,… But don’t forget the remove the cartridge (rom) if you want to load disk or cassette files after, as the cartridge will boot first, hey it’s an emulator of the real machine… When you restart the emulator (cold restart) it should find it’s ROMS, You can resize the Atari800 emulator just by resizing the window.
#UBUNTU ON ARDUINO ARM EMULATOR ARCHIVE#
Press ENTER, for each ROM in the zip archive you unzipped in the previous step set it’s path in the Emulator config. So we give it some ROMS, press F1, in the menu navigate to emulator configuration. This should fire up the emulator, the emulator will show a message that it needs the ROMS. Arduino have a couple of boards that support running a variant of Linux called Linino. This board is not a native Arduino, rather Arduino AtHeart, and is made by LinkSprite. STM32CubeIDE by ST - Combines STCubeMX with TrueSTUDIO into a single Eclipse style package. There is a board called the pcDuino that can run multiple variants of Linux such as Debian, Ubuntu, Open WRT, LEDE, Raspian PIXEL (just to mention a few). SEGGER Embedded Studio for ARM by SEGGER. Open a terminal window and type: atari800 -width 800 -height 600 -dsprate 48000 -windowed MULTI by Green Hills Software, for all Arm 7, 9, Cortex-M, Cortex-R, Cortex-A. Luckily you can find the ROMS here unzip the archive on your computer.
#UBUNTU ON ARDUINO ARM EMULATOR INSTALL#
So what now, the installation doesn’t put a launch icon in the Ubuntu launcher ? But wait before doing that we still missing something, the Atari ROMS, these are copyrighted so are not in the install archive. Luckily, Debian (which Ubuntu is based off of) does provide packages, and these packages are compatible with Ubuntu. For example: sudo apt-get install libc6-armhf-armel-cross Ubuntu (if older than Ubuntu 16.04 / Xenial) Ubuntu 14.04 and does not provide packages for MIPS. So this happy Ubuntu user only had to type ‘atari’ in the Ubuntu Software Center to find Atari800 an Atrai 800, XL, XE, 5200, … emulator for linux systems. Ubuntu provides cross-architecture packages for ARM and AArch64. Yeh I ditched win7 this summer after numerous problems with my new core I7 laptop. After reading a lot lately about some Retro Atari games, I decided to search for an Atari 800 xl emulator for Ubuntu.
