Overall, this is a very good emulator. I use a Razer Kishi and many games play well. My biggest gripes are with accessing the Atari console keys (Start, Option, etc.); they are near impossible to access: not only do you have to touch the screen just right, you usually get the drop-down menu instead. And there needs to be a way to map any attached controller input to any Atari input (keyboard, console key, joystick button) because some games require keyboard inputs while playing.

This works excellent. The only downside on the version i use is the real tiny menu you need but only pops up if you touch the upper right hand corner. Then you need to touch the upper just right of center area to get another menu you need to browse files but its not as small.

This could be excellent, but has fundamental defects making it nearly unusable. The functions work beautifully ... except the keyboard on Chromebooks! The arrow keys and Enter key work, but none of the other keys respond. Otherwise this could be a fantastic emulation.

Keyboard is not usable at all. On the android, it utilizes the phone keyboard but does not interact until you press enter, which makes many programs unusable.

Marvelous to see and hear Atari 1980s games again.

Works on Android 7.1 tablet. Nice to be able to play some of my favorite old Atari 800/xl games. Works with Bluetooth game controller although there seems to be noticeable lag. Overall a nice emulator, though I wish it would get an update with some easier-to-access menus and some more flexible keymapping options.

It's an okay emulator, but it would be nice to include external gamepad support for use with Android set-top boxes.

I would like this emulator a lot more if it played 5200 games better. The 5200 had two fire buttons. So games like 'H.E.R.O.' are pretty much unplayable in this emulator, unless I am missing something.

Really could do with a d-pad option instead of the naf joystick. Makes it unresponsive when mapped to hardware controls on jxd.

Well I would love to play Atari games on my tablet or Android TV but until this app supports gamepads it will have to wait. One of the few emulators that doesn't. Crashes on Android 7

Very good app. Never had a atari 800 this is very fun.

Atari LOGO rom isn't recognized as a cartridge with Colleen, even though it works fine on all my other Atari800 emulators. Hope this gets fixed.

Used to be terrific in the past, now on android 8.x it mess with mebu bar and it made impossible access to options, load a tape, etc.

Sim. N. Jul 21, 2016     

This really needs better controls. Would be nice to be able to open compressed files as well.

A. G. u. Mar 25, 2015     

This is a great app and lots of great games can be played but I find the joystick to be a problem for some games where u can't movie characters fast enough in different direction s

Ric. S. Dec 12, 2015     

Currently playing "Bandits". Sounds and graphics are replicated amazingly. Thanks !!

Good emulator. I thought I would never play most of the old 800 games again.

dis. i. Mar 13, 2017     

great Atari 800 emulator, you need to have the ATARIXL.ROM bios

Ran. S. Mar 2, 2015     

Low power consumption, good on-screen joystick. An auto save state on exit would make it perfect.

bea. Apr 15, 2016     

I can even play Tapper on this!

How. K. Aug 26, 2015     

A gem that I would have paid for. Detailed instructions on how to use properly really helped me. Thank you devs for this one. Now can I have a 5200 emulator :) ?????
