About:
Welcome to the Hatari web site!
Hatari is an Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon emulator for GNU/Linux, BSD,Mac OS X, Windows and other systems which are supported by theSDL library.The Atari ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released by Atariin 1985. Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular computer havingquite a lot of CPU power at that time.Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a goodenvironment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardwareof a ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old ST gamesand demos.Hatari is open source software and is distributed under the terms of theGNU General Public License (GPL).
Features:
Hatari supports the emulation of most of the ST and STE hardware, including somespecial tricks like raster interrupts, border effects and PSG sample sound.A joystick can be emulated with the cursor keys or with a real PC joystick.Hatari also features the possibility to 'mount' a directory of thehost system as a ST drive, or to use images from an original Atari's hard disk.
Hatari is also able to emulate the additional hardware of the TT or Falconmachines, like the Videl video chip or the DSP 56001. However, note that TTand Falcon support are currently still in development and experimental.
System requirements:
Hatari needs a fast machine (1 GHz or more for ST/STE emulation, > 2 GHzfor Falcon emulation) which is running a POSIX compatible operating system(preferably GNU/Linux) that supports the SDL library.There are also some ports to other operating systems like macOS or Windows,please see the links page for more information.Non-Linux systems like FreeBSD etc. are rarely tested, so if you run intoproblems while compiling Hatari on such platforms, please let us know!
Have a look at the downloads page for detailsabout the required libraries and available packages.Some binary packages are now available, too, but not for all architectures.So you might need to also have GNU C on your system to recompile the sourcecode of Hatari.
Before you can finally run the emulator, you also need a TOS image file.TOS is the built-in operating system of the Atari 16/32 bit computers.Since it is not possible to ship one of these image files with Hatari,you either have to create your own image from your Atari or you have touse EmuTOS, a free TOSreplacement.
Emulators, ROMs, FrontEnds, Tools - you'll find it all here. If you'renew to emulation, we suggest you read the Beginner'sGuide to Emulation to give you an idea of what you're looking at.If you're an emu pro, then dig in to our juicy emulation archives below.
Game ROMs:
ROMs are binary versions of your favorite classicgames, they contain the actual code of the original cartridge. Inorder to enjoy emulation, you will need to download an emulator andthe game ROMs that you want to play.

Files and Utilities
This section contains utilities andother files useful when running emulators. Most of these utilities arenice graphic front-ends for command-line emulators (z26 and Stella), and'Good 2600' is a useful utility for identifying and properlynaming 2600 binaries. The 'Stella.pro' file is extremely usefulif you are using a version of the Stella emulator, as it will allow youto properly emulate the vast majority of roms without any hassles.
Utilities:
- AtariFrontz - front end for z26
- FEFA 2.5 - nice front end for 2600 emulators
- FEZ26 - front end for z26.
- Good 2600 V. 0999.3 - ROM renamer/fixer by Matt Cowering, it knows over 1200 games/hacks/versions
- KStella - Stella frontend for Linux/KDE
- Z-Launch - front end for z26. (3.2MB download with pics and text)

We have the ability to extract the ROM (or EPROM) froma cartridge, so if you have an actual prototype cartridge we can workwith you to preserve the ROM. We can also read EPROM chips that are notsitting in a cartridge or on a board. In addition to the above unreleasedgames, we are also interested in any international ROMs that are missingfrom our database.
