Javatari is now Javatari.js! 100% HTML5/Javascript

[Paulo Peccin]

Hello,

 

I am very happy to annouce that Javatari is now Javatari.js!

The emulator has been completely rewritten, and is now 100% in HTML5 and Javascript.

Please visit http://javatari.org

 

That means it runs in any modern browser:

- No more need for the Java VM/Plugin

- No security issues or warnings

- Runs in Chrome, which has blocked the Java plugin since April/15

- Tested to run with good speed in Chrome and Firefox, but should run in Safari and maybe in IE 11. Tweaks for those coming soon.

 

Websites that use Javatari to offer online Atari 2600 ROMs to play, like Atarimania, VirtualAtari, Rebobine and so should update to the new version!

 

Javatari.js is very easy to integrate into websites, due to its HTML nature. Also more customizable.

Please let me know if you need help or support.

 

Javatari.js supports almost everything the old Javatari did, including:

- Real, clickable Atari Console user interface

- All major ROM formats

- Keyboard and Gamepad controllers

- Savestates and State ROM files

- Full Screen

 

More features will come in the next versions.

The Java version continues to be supported, for use outside the browser.

 

If you have any feedback or bug report, please let me know via PM, or post here in the discussion forum.

 

Regards,

Paulo

Very nice :)

Suggestion: support zip files and URLs, with one or many cartridges in them.

Well, it already supports ZIP files, but will launch only the 1st ROM found inside... :-)

A ZIP file with many ROMs inside is not a very commonly found format, besides big ROM collections.

That would require an interface to choose the game you want to launch inside the emulator, while all the websites that use Javatari already have nice interfaces for choosing the game.

Feature request accepted! Thanks :-)

For now you will have to open the ZIP on your computer and then drag&drop the ROM you want to play onto the emulator.

wow, unbelievably difficult to play the Atari Et game. I was watching the Netflix documentary about how craprry the game was and thought i would try it. holy mother of shit I spent a half hour trying to get your site to play it. No dice, thanks for nothing 

[Paulo Peccin]

Sorry to hear that...
So, what problems did you encounter?
Did you get to open them ROM?

hi paulo

   how you been?  i see you been hard at work on javatari.  i am having a bit of a problem with auto loading roms on the java script.  i tried putting 

<script>Javatari.ROM_AUTO_LOAD_URL = "games/combat.bin";</script> 

in index.html.  i just get error could not load rom.  url error.

also is it still possible to setup a server like in the jnlp?

thanks for your help

zane

[Paulo Peccin]

Hi!

The URL path is always relative to your html file. Are you sure you are in the right directory? 

Or try passing a full URL with protocol spec, like "http://your_server/games/combat.bin"...

Unfortunately the Javascript version does not have the Multiplayer Mode yet, due to the client-client communication restrictions that browsers impose. But I play to implement it in future versions.

Have you seen my new emulator?

Paulo
