Libretro port of the Atari800 emulator — Atari 8-bit computers (400/800/600XL/800XL/130XE/XEGS) and the Atari 5200 console.
The bundled Atari800 core is version 7.0.0. The upstream emulator is
maintained by the Atari800 Development Team (see atari800/DOC/CREDITS)
and is released under the GPL (see atari800/COPYING).
Four controllers are supported when the emulated system is set to 400/800 — useful for games such as M.U.L.E.; see the Atari 4+ player list.

The core uses the optional ROM files listed in atari800_libretro.info
(5200.rom, ATARIBAS.ROM, ATARIOSA.ROM, ATARIOSB.ROM, ATARIXL.ROM,
BB01R4_OS.ROM, XEGAME.ROM). When real ROMs are not present, the
bundled AltirraOS replacement ROMs are used.
