Ported by raz0red

JS7800 is an enhanced JavaScript port of the ProSystem Atari 7800 emulator that was originally developed by Greg Stanton.

https://raz0red.github.io/js7800/

In order to operate correctly and smoothly (no lags, etc.), JS7800 requires an updated version of a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on a capably configured system.

JS7800

Features

  • Global high score tracking (for HSC compatible games)
  • Customizable keyboard mappings
  • Gamepad compatibility (with dual-analog support for Robotron-style games)
  • Full screen support
  • Multiple aspect ratios
  • Ability to enable/disable video filters
  • Drag and drop support for local files and remote file links
  • Cartridge list support (see JS7800 Wiki)
  • Light gun support (via mouse)
  • Expansion Module (XM) support
  • Enhanced bank switching and cartridge detection

Future consideration

  • Mobile support (virtual buttons, proper screen sizing, etc.)
  • Paddle controller support (via mouse)
  • Updating the emulation core to integrate accuracy and compatibility improvements that are part of the incredible A7800 emulator
  • Save/load state support (available in webЯcade)
  • Network-based multiplayer support
  • Improved cartridge browser with detailed descriptions and screenshots (available in webЯcade)

Documentation
