If you have a Greaseweazle and a box of Amiga or ST disks, I'd appreciate some testers for FluxForge. No command line needed: it installs the Greaseweazle tools for you, shows a live track map while reading, and tells you exactly which tracks failed on a worn disk. You can capture raw flux for preservation and turn it into an ADF or ST later.

I've written a post on the early history of Argonaut, the making of Starglider 2, and the response from the games press of the time (including predictions it would shift a lot more STs).

I'm blogging about the history of popular games in the UK by writing about each sales chart #1 in order and just reached Starglider 2, so I got a real sense of how impressive it looked up against the Spectrum games of the time I've been playing until now!

I was just bidding on games with no bids as i usually do and won these 3 atari games with original box and manuals for $23 wondering which atari would i need to buy to be able to play them? thank you

Hi all, I've made a free, open-source Windows tool for working with floppy disks and disk images, inspired by FastCopy:

• back up disks to .ST / .MSA / .IMG (and flux .SCP/.HFE with Greaseweazle), write images back with verification
• format for Atari ST (incl. 800–900 KB formats with an internal drive + fdrawcmd.sys), PC, MSX, Mac, Amiga CrossDOS…
• surface test with a live FastCopy-style sector map, FAT check and safe repair
• boot disks (FreeDOS, MS-DOS, Atari AUTO folder, Amiga bootblock)
• works with USB floppy drives, internal drives (fdrawcmd.sys) and Greaseweazle

Download: https://github.com/Warysek/DisketteToolkit/releases

It's a test version — I design and test it on my own hardware, the code is written with AI assistance. The exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen or some antivirus may warn about it (code signing via SignPath is in progress). I'd really appreciate feedback, especially which USB drives work with 720 KB disks and how it behaves with Greaseweazle and internal drives. Bug reports are welcome here or in GitHub Issues. Thanks!

Yes, the original 1983 laserdisc classic, running full-screen at 25 FPS with sound on real Atari hardware with a SidecarTridge Multi-device.

Now available for free through the Booster app. It features the original arcade gameplay, joystick and keyboard controls, customizable options, and persistent high scores.

In the video, I show it running on my Atari STE, including footage from the actual monitor.

Hope you enjoy seeing Dirk back in action on the Atari ST!

I've spent the last months on a side project: the Atari ST version of Xenon 2: Megablast, running in the browser. Play: https://dmnet.st It's the original 68000 game running in a modified Hatari compiled to WebAssembly. Instead of showing the ST's framebuffer, the emulator hooks the game's own draw routines and redraws every sprite on the GPU, which made a few extras possible:

• Classic mode: the original 320×200, pixel for pixel
• Hi-res mode: every sprite upscaled 4× and interpolated between the game's 15 updates a second for smooth 60 fps motion (whole game in hi-res on YouTube)
• Autopilot: a controller that reads the game's memory and flies the ship; it has finished all five levels without losing a life
• Save/load: five slots with screenshots, kept in your browser
• Record & replay: record a game, then step through it frame by frame in the replay inspector, including what the autopilot saw and decided
• Works on desktop and phones (touch controls), no install

There are also write-ups of what got reverse engineered along the way (object system, sprite formats, the sound driver that squeezes Bomb the Bass onto the YM), some of them interactive.

Full disclosure: this was also an experiment in working with an AI coding assistant, and the site keeps an honest log of where that worked and where it really didn't.

Feedback welcome, especially from anyone who played it back in the day!

I don't know how many of you are keeping up but there's been an amazing amount of new games released for the Atari ST/STe/Falcon and TT030 in the last bit.

F11 for Save/loading menu etc
F12 for Settings
Shift + F12 for checking how the game is running

This isn't 100% compatible with all games! This doesn't use TOS, nor is it a traditional emulator, so that will take time though compared to last public release, the list has grown a lot.

Made with what I know about games, and how they run + a huge amount of the grunt work from various different AI models.

What you get:

- Boots straight from your disk images: ST, MSA, STX (copy-protected dumps), HFE and SCP, zipped or not

- Per-game enhancements: widescreen 16:9 / 21:9 views, speed options, cheats and fixes for specific games

- CRT and picture options: scanlines, masks, curvature, glow, or sharp pixels

- Low input lag: run-ahead, plus frame generation for smoothness

- Save states and rewind

- SemaOS: a GEM-style desktop to browse and launch your library, with disk drives you can drag games onto, a jukebox and a YM2149 synth

- Accurate sound: a detailed YM2149 model

Linux and Windows, with an Android build in progress. Still in testing, so expect rough edges.

Hi.

I'm looking for some kind of 'ultimate' ST emulator install, like one of the old Windows XP ultimate cds. I.e. all setup, various softwares, a really demo / livecd type experiene to show me how good the ST / TT / Falcon could be.

I used to drool over the high-res screenshots of Multi Tos or Mint or with the icons and the colours running some pro software. I soon migrated to a win 95 PC and never got to try this out.

Is there anything like this I can download to my PC to finally experience such a sight. I'd love to see a sorted desktop environment with some office sofware, layout software a bit of music and some games . If this isn't available is there a recommended list of the pieces I would need to get this working. i.e. emulator version, desktop software etc ? Thanks all Running MAC and PC here.

Hi, the ST(e) video output was 15hz, seems like the Falcon was 30Hz, why did they change the video output as the resulting resolutions were the same, the end result was the lack of support of the existing (expensive) Atari displays

I'm currently running Hatari on PC-based hardware, but I'm wondering if I should get a MiSTer.

I haven't had much luck researching this - most of the reviews come with the caveat that the person testing the system didn't have an ST back in the day, so they were not familiar with the machine.

I thought it would be best to ask some actual ST users instead of MiSTer users.

I'm already hesitant, because I don't have as much time to play games as I used to, so I rely quite heavily on save states, and some of the research I did manage to do suggests that the ST core may not be very polished.

I still feel drawn to the MiSTer though - like FPGA is the next logical step in my setup.

Is it worth the upgrade (is it even an upgrade?) or should I just stick to emulators?

Thanks to Neil Rackett, Flashback has been ported to the Atari ST. Here it is, running on my Atari STacy.

The needed game files can be found here:

https://discord.gg/bMF59myb7 for Discord support/suggestions

Remember because it's not a Traditional Emulator compatibility will not be 100%, but the gain is that we can improve older games (while having the option for the original experience)

I can't guarantee the Windows version works as good as the Linux version due to my own testing, but yeah, if any issues arrive Github or discord is best place to poke me. Also if you have any requests for games to be Enhanced.

What’s included

• Desktop library with cover and list views, search, favourites and recently played games.
• Game-folder and cover selection through a file browser.
• Individual and bulk artwork fetching.
• Gold ENHANCED badges for supported titles, with per-game options.
• CRT presets, bezel effects and picture controls.
• Optional frame generation, depending on your GPU and graphics backend.
• Four manual save slots with previews, plus rewind and session features where supported.
• F11 session controls and F12 settings.

This is DOOM, running on my Atari STacy via a SidecarTridge device. It's fast and beautiful! The incredibly cool thing is that it will run on a bog-standard Atari ST, no extra requirements needed.

Hello guys!

I'd like to organize ST games on my Odin 2 Portal (think ES-DE etc). Is there a 1G1R set anywhere?

Thanks!

As an arcade gamer from the era, I wondered what ChatGPT's take on the top 10 best arcade ports (of all time) to the ST series was. Here's what it came up with:
