Pocket Atari is the official Windows CE port of the open source Atari 800 emulator. It emulates the 8-bit series of computers made by Atari in the 1980s. This includes computers such as the Atari 400, 800, 800XL, 65XE, 130XE and several others. Being in development for many years, the emulator core delivers, undoubtedly, the best emulation experience of the Atari 8-bit machines.
The Windows CE port enables users of handheld devices to enjoy their favorite games and applications in their Pocket PCs and Smartphones. The WinCE port was originally done by Vasyl Tsvirkunov. Kostas Nakos joined the development team from version 2.0.0 onwards and is responsible for the WinCE port.
The emulator core features a great wealth of emulation-related build options. Some of the more processor hungry features are turned off in the WinCE version, as the target devices usually have less capable processors. The main disabled feature is the cycle exact emulation of graphics, but you will not notice the difference in most of the software. One other thing to look out for is the high quality Pokey sound emulation option. Turning it on in slow devices can lead to device freeze, with no clean exit options and thus requiring a reboot. Other than that, you can expect a fully working emulator.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
The WinCE port supports both Smartphones and Pocket PC devices using a single binary. It is built targeting the 2002 version of the OS. This means that it will probably run OK on devices using a newer version of the OS, as there seems to be backward compatibility. It has been tested WinCE 2002, 2003 and WM5 devices and it ran just fine. It would be nice to contact me if you get it to run on different devices.
What you really need is a WinCE device featuring an ARM processor. This is not a severely limiting requirement, as all modern devices designed for Windows CE 2002 and later are ARM enabled. Aside from that, for Pocket PCs supported displays are monochrome, palleted (256 color) and high color (65536 color) with resolution greater than 240x240. For Smartphones the supported display is high color with resolutions of 176x220 and 240x320.

Yame is a bit old and retains the menu bar at the top of the screen, as with Windows CE 2.11
