TonVH Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Can cartridges of the 8 bit computers be used on the Atari ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Simple answer is No. Different platforms and no compatibility between the 2 cartridge wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonVH Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks. I already was afraid of that. Pity, because I could get Miner 2049'er on cartridge and I do not see that otherwise on ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 No, but if your using ST Xformer you'll need an A8 disk image that has roms of A8 carts than you can, some what. http://www.emulators.com/xformer.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Your ST will need a Motorola 68060 CPU to run at full speed though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goochman Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 ST XFormer is junk - almost 0% chance anything runs at all or even close to normal speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
