a5200DS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a5200DS is an Atari VCS 5200 console emulator.
To use this emulator, you must use compatibles rom with a52/bin format. 
You also need the 5200.bin rom bios to use it. A quick search on atariage website 
will help you about that ;-)
Do not ask me about such files, I don't have them. A search with Google will certainly 
help you. 

Features :
----------
 Most things you should expect from an emulator.

Missing :
---------
 All that is not yet emulated ;)
 Need to improve speed
 Hangs a lot of time if you do not choose the correct 16 bit cartridghe type
