Features
Although ARAnyM is still unfinished, a work-in-progress and the current status is about beta it already has an interesting list of features:
- MC68040 compatible CPU (including optional MMU!)
- MC68881 compatible FPU
- JIT Compiler for CPU and FPU (speeds up CPU+FPU up to 10x!)
- ST-RAM 14 MB
- Fast-RAM configurable 0-3824 MB
- Host accelerated fVDI graphics (large highcolor/truecolor resolutions)
- TOS 4.x XBIOS compatible sound (16-bit 48 kHz stereo sound)
- Parallel port (bidirectional)
- MFP, IKBD, ACIA, VIDEL, BLITTER, FDC, IDE, DSP MC56001
Please note that most hardware emulation is there just to make TOS happy. It is not our goal to create an emulator of existing Atari machine. Don't expect that ill-designed applications will work as they would on original Atari machine. Still, our compatibility ratio is much much higher than any of the TOS clones achieved so far.
ARAnyM has been intended to run primarily on Linux/x86 but thanks to libSDL and effort of some ARAnyM team members it currently runs on the following platforms and operating systems:
- All 11 Debian GNU/Linux platforms
- MS Windows/x86 (Cygwin)
- NetBSD/x86
- OpenBSD/x86
- MacOS X/PPC
- Irix/SGI
- Solaris/Sun Sparc
- FreeMiNT/m68k (in progress)
- FreeBSD/x86 (in progress)
