Po cichu i trochę nieoczekiwanie pojawiła się finalna wersja 2.30 jednego z najlepszych w chwili obecnej programów, które pozwolą nam na udawanie ośmiobitowych, domowych mikrokomputerów firmy ATARI - począwszy od najstarszej serii 400 (koniec lat siedemdziesiątych), aż do XEGS (1987) - konsoli do gier stworzonej na bazie ATARI 65XE.
