About Javatari
Javatari is an online Atari 2600 emulator. You load a cartridge in the browser and play without installing anything. It supports many cartridge formats, including 4K, F8, F4, FE and AR, and can detect the format automatically or have it forced.
Options include a CRT display mode, screen smoothing filters, fullscreen and scaling, and loading saved states. A NetPlay mode lets two people join the same session. Site owners can embed it and configure it through URL parameters.
