Hatari!

First you need a fast machine (500MHz or more for ST/STE emulation, > 1.5 GHz for Falcon emulation which is running a Unix compatible OS (preferably GNU/Linux that supports the SDL library. There are also some ports to other operating systems like Mac OS X, please see the links page for more information. Non-Linux systems like FreeBSD etc. are rarely tested, so if you run into problems while compiling Hatari on such platforms, please let us know! Have a look at the downloads page for details about the required libraries and available packages. Some binary packages are now available, too, but not for all architectures. So you might need to also have GNU C on your system to recompile the source code of Hatari. Before you can finally run the emulator, you also need a TOS image file. TOS
