z26 (an Atari 2600 emulator) Z26 is one of the best emulators for the Atari 2600. The author reports that the graphics part of the emulator is nearing perfection to a point that there's little more to fix. Note to 64-bit users: z26 is mostly written in 32-bit x86 assembly, so it can't be built for x86_64. However, if you build a z26 package on a 32-bit system, and install it on a 64-bit system that also has alienBOB's or Fred Emmott's 32-bit compatibility packages (specifically, a 32-bit sdl package is required), it should run just fine.
