The ROM images are installed in +/usr/share/atari800/atari_roms, for use with the atari800 emulator, +but may be used with other emulators such as Atari++. + +Also included are bootable disk images for Atari DOS 2.5 and MyDOS 4.5d, +and a couple of disks of demo software. These are installed in +/usr/share/atari800/disks + +These ROM images are proprietary and copyrighted, but have been widely +available on the Internet for over 10 years. By installing this package, +you may be violating copyright laws in your jurisdiction, but nobody +has ever been sued or threatened for using these images. If you want +to use an Open Source Atari OS instead, install the atari800_os++ package. + +If you have the SlackBuilds.org atari800_roms and atari800_os++ packages +installed, you can adjust the symlink at /usr/share/atari800/atarixl.rom +to choose which OS will run (or, edit ~/.atari800.cfg, or run atari800 +with the -xlxe_rom option). |
