Pokey.. The Atari 800/800XL/5200 emulator.

Thanks for downloading Pokey! Pokey is an emulator for MSDOS machines that allows your computer to run the thousands of Atari 8-bit programs on your PC. I hope you will find Pokey useful and will enjoy being able to run Atari 8-bit programs on your PC. If Pokey doesn't do all that you want from an Atari emulator, let me know. Also don't forget there are other freeware emulators for the PC and UNIX systems. The Atari 8-bit systems should live on forever with the wealth of 8-bit emulators out there!

Note there is a second version of Pokey included in the archive called pokeyf.exe. This version uses the direct video approach used by David Firth in his emulator. This speeds up the graphics and I recommend slower systems use this version. The quality of the output is a tad worse with the pokeyf version, but for 90% of the stuff, you don't notice a difference.

Pokey uses Atari800 for a framework as well as some other pieces of the Atari800 source code. There was a time when it might have been an improvement on Atari800, but is rather out of date compared to it now. It`s speed and compatibility also lag behind other emulators. I`d pass on this one if I were you. If you`re looking for an older and more lightweight emulator to run on an old DOS box then try the original Atari800 or Virtual Super System instead.
