Welcome to BupSystem

BupSystem is an Atari 7800 ProSystem emulator. It was originally written to assist in the development and distribution of Rikki & Vikki, but can run most other software for the platform.

As of writing BupSystem is closed source and only available for Microsoft Windows.

This program is intended as a development tool for and preservation of the ProSystem architecture. While it can be used to run commercial software I will neither assist nor prevent users from doing so. You are on your own.

More information can be found in the included help file.
