Emulator & DOS

• Altirra Emulator (latest version): http://www.virtualdub.org/altirra.html.
  • We are going to look for the latest version. In this case, it’s Altirra4.31.zip
  • Save this some place easy to find. I’m going to save to the desktop in a folder called Altirra
  • Next, I’m going to unzip it right here. Note that of course you can put this any place on your system. I am doing it here for simplicity

• The next ingredient will be the MyDOS 4.5 ATR (boot disk): I have always wanted to try Mydos and never have, so this will be a new adventure for me.
  The mydos 4.5 is available at Archive.org The link is in the notes linked to the video

  👉 MyDOS 4.5 ATR (1988, Woodmark)
  
  You don’t need a torrent, you can simply show all the files and download the atr image.

I am going to download it right into my altirra folder, again, for simplicity. 

• Altirra BASIC cartridge (atbasic.bin) or executable (atbasic.xex) — included with Altirra distribution.

The next things we need are our  Linux Workflow Tools (Flatpak)

This is the Application discover application for the PikaOS. Pika is based on Ubuntu / Debian based distro that comes backed with Multimedia and game related drivers and uses the very windows like KDE Desktop environment

We need these three apps, which I have already installed: 

• Bottles (Windows app manager for Wine/Proton):
  flatpak install flathub com.usebottles.bottles
• Flatseal (permissions manager for Flatpak apps):
  flatpak install flathub com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
• Kate (powerful text editor for editing BASIC listings):
  flatpak install flathub org.kde.kate
