Unlike most other open source ST emulators which try to give you a good environment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardware as close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old Atari games and demos. Because of this, it may be somewhat slower than less accurate emulators. 3) Compiling and installing --------------------------- For using Hatari, you need to have installed the following libraries: Required: - The SDL library v1.2.10 or newer (http://www.libsdl.org) - The zlib compression library (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/) Optional: - The PNG image library for PNG format screenshots and to decrease AVI video recording file sizes (http://www.libpng.org/) - The GNU Readline library for Hatari debugger command line editing - The Xlib library to support Hatari Python UI window embedding on systems with the X window system (Linux and other unixes) - The portaudio library for Falcon microphone handling - The IPF support library (http://www.softpres.org/download) Don't forget to also install the header files of these libraries for compiling Hatari (some Linux distributions use separate development packages for these header files)! For compiling Hatari, you need a C compiler (preferably GNU C), and a working CMake (v2.8 or newer) installation, see http://www.cmake.org/ for details. CMake can generate makefiles for various flavours of "Make" (like GNU-Make) and various IDEs like Xcode on Mac OS X. To run CMake, you've got to pass the path to the sources of Hatari as parameter, for example run the following if you are in the topmost directory of the Hatari source tree: cmake . If you're tracking Hatari version control, it's preferable to do the build in a separate build directory as above would overwrite the (non-CMake) Makefiles coming with Hatari: mkdir -p build cd build cmake .. Have a look at the manual of CMake for other options. Alternatively, you can use the "cmake-gui" program to configure the sources with a graphical application or "ccmake" to configure them with ncurses UI. For your convenience we also ship an old-fashioned configure script which can be used as a wrapper for running cmake. Type "./configure --help" to see the options of this script. Assuming that you've used the Makefile generator of CMake, and cmake finished the configuration successfully, you can compile Hatari by typing "make". If all works fine, you'll get the executable "hatari" in the src/ subdirectory of the build tree. You can then install the emulator by typing "make install". 3.1) WinUAE and "old" UAE CPU cores By default Hatari is built with the "old" UAE CPU core used in the earlier Hatari releases, but versions starting from v1.5 support also new & experimental WinUAE CPU core which offers more cycle accurate 030 & DSP emulation and from v1.6 onwards also working 030 MMU emulation. The WinUAE CPU core can be enabled by toggling the ENABLE_WINUAE_CPU variable in the Hatari CMake configuration (e.g. with the interactive "ccmake" program). Alternatively, you can run "./configure --enable-winuae-cpu", which will run cmake with the correct parameters. The plan is to eventually have WinUAE CPU core enabled by default and deprecate the "old" UAE CPU core, but currently WinUAE CPU core: - is lacking all the ST/STE specific tweaks and proper testing for ST/STE compatibility - despite better emulation, it still doesn't run all the Falcon programs that run with the "old" core although it works better for most of them - doesn't have full debugger support It's recommended to use Hatari built with the "old" (default) UAE CPU core for ST/STE emulation and the new WinUAE core for Falcon emulation. And test also the old core if Falcon programs don't work with the new one... 3.2) Notes for Linux distribution packagers TOS tester in tests/tosboot/ directory can be used to verify that Hatari was built fine enough that it's able to boot all tested TOS versions in various different HW configurations and run some GEMDOS based tests. For EmuTOS, use version v0.8.7 or newer, older versions are buggy and fail the GEMDOS tests. If Hatari package will have two application menu entries for Hatari, one for the Python UI embedding Hatari, and another one for the plain SDL version, the latter could open also a terminal window for Hatari command line debugger and its console messages: x-terminal-emulator -T "Hatari debug window, invoke debugger with AltGr+Pause" -e hatari tools/hatari-tos-register.sh is a minimal example of Linux init script registering Hatari as a (binfmt_misc) handler for TOS binaries. Alternatively one could add a mime type for TOS binaries with xdg-mime: http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0/xdg-mime.html But registering handlers for mime-types seems desktop specific. 3.2.1) Known distro problems Old RHEL 5 and the derived CentOS v5.x Linux distributions ship with a broken readline library: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499837 To get CMake readline detection and linking working on them, you need to give these as extra arguments to the "cmake" command: -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-lncurses -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-lncurses They also have too old Python/PyGtk version for the python based Hatari scripts. Here are patches for Hatari v1.5/v1.6 Python UI: http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/lists.tuxfamily.org/hatari-devel/2012/01/msg00008.html 4) Running Hatari ----------------- For information about how to use the running emulator, please read the file doc/manual.html. Here are just some hints for the impatient people: * Before you can run the emulator, you need a TOS ROM image. If one named as "tos.img" is neither in the data directory of the emulator (DATADIR variable in CMake configuration), or in the current directory, Hatari will ask you to select one. - Hatari binary packages ship unmodified EmuTOS ROM image with them (renamed as tos.img), but you need an original Atari TOS ROM image for best compatibility. For more information on EmuTOS, see doc/emutos.txt. * While the emulator is running, you can open the configuration menu by pressing F12, the F11 key will toggle fullscreen/windowed mode. Pressing ALTGR-q will quit the emulator. 5) Contact ---------- If you want to contact the authors of Hatari, please have a look at the file doc/authors.txt for the e-mail addresses or use the Hatari mailing list.

New rebasing of Hatari based on Mercurial upstream. Tries to be a shallow fork for easy upstreaming later on.
