Once you have your FujiNet plugged in to your computer and you turn your computer on, you will probably ask yourself “Well, what now?”
Here’s a (small) list of suggestions for your shiny new FujiNet device.
If you find a new program or game that runs on FujiNet that is not listed here, submit an issue (or better, a Pull Request) in order to get it added to this list.
The FujiNet CONFIG tool highlights the characters on the screen that can be pressed in order to carry out actions.
This documentation represents these CONFIG options with square brackets around the letter that you can press on the keyboard to select this option.
Some examples: [N]ew (press “N”), [F]ilter (press “F”) [C]opy (press “C”), etc.
Dedicated keyboard keys that should be pressed will be shown with .
Some examples: , , , etc.

Use the [C]onfig menu option in FujiNet on your Atari to view the current IP address of the FujiNet device.
It might be handy to write down the current IP address of your FujiNet, since some of the activities below will ask you to connect to the FujiNet using the IP address.
- Skill Level: Easy
- Time Required: Less than 5 minutes
The FujiNet device runs a mini web server, and some of the configuration settings of the device are available only via the web interface. Once you connect to the FujiNet from another computer using a web browser, you can easily interact with the FujiNet.
- Skill Level: Easy
- Time Required: Less than 5 minutes
Wait, what? Print from your Atari? Well, no, not really. When you print a file on your Atari to a “printer device” provided by FujiNet, the printer pages received by FujiNet will be converted to PDF files and stored on the FujiNet device.
After you “print” the file on your Atari, use a web browser on a modern computer, tablet or phone to browse to the IP address of your FujiNet, download the rendered PDF file and print it.
- Skill Level: Easy
- Time Required: varies by how many files you copy to the MicroSD card from your computer
Take a MicroSD card from a known reputable brand (SanDisk, Kingston, Lexar, etc.), and format it with a FAT32 filesystem, then add Atari disk images (.ATR) and Atari executable files (.XEX) to the card from a PC/Mac/Linux computer.
