z26v3 (an Atari 2600 emulator)
|
|
|
|
Z26 is one of the best emulators for the Atari 2600. The author reports
|
|
that the graphics part of the emulator is nearing perfection to a point
|
|
that there's little more to fix.
|
|
|
|
This is z26 version 3.x, which may have some issues running on Linux
|
|
(depending on your hardware & config), and the authors aren't interested
|
|
in fixing them. If you have problems you can't solve, try the older 2.13
|
|
release, by installing games/z26 (which won't conflict with this build;
|
|
you can have both installed).
|
|
|
|
Specific Linux issues in this version:
|
|
|
|
- The config file (z26.gui) is always read & written in the directory
|
|
where the ROM image is located. If the file doesn't exist and z26 can't
|
|
write to the directory, it refuses to start. This means no root-owned,
|
|
system-wide /usr/share/games/roms/2600 directory (even if users can
|
|
write there, they'll overwrite each others' config files).
|
|
|
|
- The video timing relies on OpenGL VSync. If your card/driver combo is
|
|
incapable of this, the games will run insanely fast. Even with VSync
|
|
support, the games run at whatever your monitor refresh rate is set to
|
|
(for LCD panels this is usually 60Hz, which is correct for NTSC games).
