Page "Atari 7800" Paragraph 78

When emulators of 1980s video game consoles began to appear on home computers in the late 1990s, the Atari 7800 was one of the last to be emulated.

The lack of awareness of the system, the lack of understanding of the hardware, and fears about the digital signature lockout initially caused concerns.

Since that time, however, the 7800 has been emulated successfully and is now common on emulation sites.

One such program is ProSystem, written in C / C ++ for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

It uses the Windows API and DirectX to display what it emulates in both PAL and NTSC.
