One of those is a portable Atari800, with FujiNet capability. The FujiBoy. The premium experience could be on something like a SteamDeck….
FujiNet and Atari800 Emulation
Running a virtualized Atari emulation on modern hardware with FujiNet used to require running the amazing Altirra Atari emulator. One issue however- Altirra is only released as a Windows app. Wine has worked for Linux and Mac users to run applications like Altirra on the best platforms but it’s still a bunch of hoops to…

Altirra, ARM and Sequoia
Getting Altirra Running on macOS Sequoia 15.x A Wine Success Story I’ve been wrestling with running Altirra, the gold standard Atari 8-bit emulator, on recent macOS versions with wine for over a year now.

Version 1.0 Is Here Fenrock (MarkF) has released the 1.0 version of his alternate FujiNet CONFIG app CONFIG-NG. C-NG is a mostly assembly, Atari only, CONFIG application for managing your FujiNet device connected to your Atari.

YAIL Updates!
YAIL is out with some nice updates. Brad has been hacking on it seemingly non-stop and now YAIL will save two preferences- the streaming server and the gxf mode. Both are persisted using the AppKey feature of the Fujinet where specific keys can be saved on SD card for the app to read next boot…
Fun With Yet Another Image Loader (YAIL)
YAIL is a very fun project from Brad Colbert. His code is up on github here. It is composed of a server and Atari client component. The Atari client loads (I have the xex here on my TNFS server:TNFS://fujinet.diller.org/ATARI/NETWORKING/YAIL.XEX) and presents a black screen. You need to “set server” like: set server N:TCP://fujinet.online:5556 for the…
