vecsim
vecsim is a simulator for some of the 6502-based Atari vector games,
vecsim runs on Linux or Unix systems with X11. vecsim also contains an
experimental static translator.
vecsim is obsolete. It is presented here for historical interest,
and because there has been some recent interest in static translation.
If you just want to play the games, I strongly recommend using
MAME instead.
I do not provide ROM images, nor will
I answer any questions about finding them.
vecsim attempts to use an indexed color mode, such
as 8-bit color. If used in a non-indexed (true color) mode, e.g. 15-,
16-, 24-, or 32-bit color modes, it will operate only in black and white,
and will print some error messages at startup.
Release Notes
The main simulator was developed from 1991 to 1992 by Hedley Rainnie and
Eric Smith, and the experimental static translator was added in 1993.
It was released under the GPL in 1996. A crude port to Windows was done
in 1997, but was not integrated into the source distribution. There has
been no further development work on vecsim aside from a very small
amount of cleanup in August of 2003 to eliminate compiler warnings and
simplify the Makefile.
Release 0.8:
- cleaned up the Makefile somewhat
- added the static translator source and template files which were
missing in the 0.7 release, courtesy of Hedley Rainnie
