A8E v0.1a 04/03/04 Windows This is a new Atari 8-bit/800XL emulator written in C by Sascha Springer. It was developed completely from scratch and uses the SDL library for a UI and audio and graphics output (from OpenGL). The author says this emulator really isn't anything fancy compared to the other emulators of this kind, but started working on it as a personal effort. We'll keep an eye on it.

The available demo is crippleware, with sound and other features missing. The registration fee of $33, however, is likely worth it, as this is an excellent emulator.
