GitHub - pedgarcia/fujisan: Cross-platform Atari 8-bit Emulator based on Atari800 Cross-platform Atari 8-bit Emulator based on Atari800 - pedgarcia/fujisan

In case you don't know, I've been working in a new Atari 8-bit emulator (well, a new UI for Atari800 to be precise). Despite the version 1.0.4, it is still a work in progress but already usable!
