ziggystar Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hello, I saw on atarimax that he includes a public domain 800 os rom on his refurbished machines. Where/what is this public domain 800 os rom? I cant find it anywhere! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herr professor Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Maybe this link would be helpful? http://members.chello.nl/taf.offenga/atari.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Nope, I have the real roms already. Real ROMS cannot be used legally without owning a real machine. So if yuo want to distribute and emulator you can't use them because Infogrames owns the rights to them. I heard there is a Freeware Atari 800 one that is not owned by Atari Inc. that's what I'm trying to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Huh? I thought that the 800 system roms were released into public domain back in the Traimel era? This question came up when I noticed that zophar.net carried the roms in the Xformer package. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 More Information Please! What other roms were released do you know? Atari st and what about 2600? any info would be great. Acording to Infogrames, they think they own everything still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 That's all I have. The original question was how those roms could be available there when the site specifically states that no commercial roms are there. The package includes the 800, 5200, and XL OS roms and the Rev.C Basic rom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggystar Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 APE Warp+ OS; Your standard XL/XE OS; A public domain Atari 800 Compatible OS for running those 800 only disks and cartridges this is what it says on his site. I'm trying to find the pd atari 800 compatible os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
