| The emulator emulates most Atari 2600 peripheral devices, including standard [[joystick]]s, [[Paddle (game controller)|paddle controller]]s, the Atari Video Touch Pad, the Atari Keyboard Controller, Atari Indy 500 Driving Controllers, the CBS Booster-Grip controller, the CommaVid RAM-cart, and the Spectravideo Compumate [[computer keyboard]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.classicgaming.com/pcae/main.html|accessdate=2007-05-04|title=pc atari emulator}}</ref> The emulator does not have support for [[Compact Cassette|cassette]]-based titles designed to work with the [[Starpath Supercharger]] or the Coleco KidVid cassette player. If you play Starpath Supercharger, it will only play the first game on the tape. You cannot advance the tape to play another title on the same tape. Also, as Starpath Supercharger ROMs have an extension of .a26, you must change that to .bin to get them to play at all. | The emulator emulates most Atari 2600 peripheral devices, including standard [[joystick]]s, [[Paddle (game controller)|paddle controller]]s, the Atari Video Touch Pad, the Atari Keyboard Controller, Atari Indy 500 Driving Controllers, the CBS Booster-Grip controller, the CommaVid RAM-cart, and the Spectravideo Compumate [[computer keyboard]]. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.classicgaming.com/pcae/main.html|accessdate=2007-05-04|title=pc atari emulator}}</ref> The emulator does not have support for [[Compact Cassette|cassette]]-based titles designed to work with the [[Starpath Supercharger]] or the Coleco KidVid cassette player.
