Hi, for some time I've been developing opl player with support of OPL2/3 hardware on Atari ST and up. Here is current summary with some recordings from several devices (OPL2LPT / OPL3LPT / OPL3 Express): https://nokturnal.pl/2023/12/opl3-play-preview-for-atari-st-and-up . Currently it handles DRO/VGM/IMF files, but I plan to add more ... probably. I've recorded some videos from real hardware (Falcon 030 + opl3lpt):

The latest in our Video History Series The Evolution of Atari ST Vertical Flying Shooters Part 3 1989 A rising tide? In 1989 two significant things happened in the history of Atari ST vertical shooters: First, Xenon 2 was released, which is considered by many to be the best shooter of all time on the ST, and also Shoot ‘em Up Construction Kit or SEUCK was hit the market. The other games we have to look at are relatively unique, at least as far a unique can go in this genre, but overall it was not a great year for ST vertical shooters in terms of quantity, but what was released was a step up visually and technically from the average in 1988.

I give it a try with Phantasie II. It plays more like the first Phantasie. Even spells use the same numbers too. On Apple // the gameplay is unchanged. The main strategy is the same: never going far away too soon until your party levels up. Atari St offers better pictures with a cool animating guard in towns. Most of times, you use your mouse for some actions. The problem with the ST, the cursor moves too fast. I don't know if it's a problem with the emulator Saint St or the game. Most of times, especially in fight, flee button is more used than attack. I miss lots of exps and gold because of this. I prefer playing Phantasie II on Apple II because this version uses keyboard instead of mouse.

This weekend, I've been publishing the previously lost 1980s software of Yaakov Kirschen, which I rescued from various disks with the help of Kevin Ng and Keith Hacke. After years of research, today I'm happy to share a condensed version of the fascinating story behind Murray and Me and Mom and Me — two of the earliest entertainment offerings for the Atari ST. Despite being profiled by the New York Times, London Times, and other big newspapers in 1985, the programs didn't sell well, and went mostly unarchived (until today). But "Murray" was never meant to be sold. In fact, he began life as the "artificial personality" interface to an Atari ST-based greeting card kiosk project that Kirschen proposed to Jack Tramiel in 1984.

atari 800xl Atari 800XL Set of Wall Mounts (3D Printable Design).
rcamp48 posted a topic in Atari General
Hello everyone , I have decided to veer away from software for a bit and have instead fired up my 3D printer and Tinkercad to produce a good set of wall mounts that are Atari Universal, as I print the first design, I will be seeing what changes the STLs need and adjusting accordingly for the different Atari computers that are out there. I have listed my design on Tinkercad, it is a remix of another design, and as such credit has been given to the original designer of the Laptop Wall Mount Set. Here is the URL for my design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5335874 -
Tonight I was experimenting around and tried hooking up my 1040ST to my HP laser printer. When I tried printing something, it would not even recognize that it was there. I figured I'd get something even if I didn't have a correct printer driver installed. I know back in the 80s I would take my ST to work after hours and was able to use some programs to print with it there on HP laser jets. Just to be sure, I plugged the ST into my old Epson RX/FT dot matrix and it printed just fine. Anyone got any tips for getting it to work on the HP with programs like ST Writer and 1st Word? I don't really care if I get full featured printing with bold, etc. Just so it prints.

Has there been any examples of an Atari ST game on a rom cartridge? Currently exploring the possibility of an ST home-brew game but rather than floppy disk doing a limited run on an ST cart. I presume bank switching could be used to overcome the rather limited cartridge capacity? thanks Barnie

Seeing that some folks have added semi-modern MIDI capable sound chips in their STs so various games can play MIDI soundtracks internally [and without having to resort to outputting it through the MIDI ports to external hardware], is anyone on here scheming on how to add a PokeyMAX FPGA wonderchip into their STs? In addition to being able to do Quad POKEY, Dual SID, and Covox audio all at once, the PokeyMAX can also do Dual "PSG" [Dual YM2149] audio. That's 6 channels of "ST" audio. To my knowledge, no one has ever done a Dual YM2149 upgrade for the ST, although other platforms have similar upgrades available [although generally for the GI AY chip that the YM2149 clones in the audio department]. Seems like a worthy upgrade for the ST...

For Sale Mouse Master by Practical Solutions for the Atari St or the Amiga. Tested and working great in an Atari ST. Once you use one of these you will never want to be without it. You will never need to lift up the ST to plug in the very awkward mouse and joystick ports up under the keyboard. Asking $50 + you pay shipping of $9 in the U.S.

The Good: 1MB Memory Blitter Chip Gotek Drive with an 8GB usb stick, has some things on it – PM for more info Switchable ROMS - TOS 1.04(Rainbow) and TOS 1.02 Original mouse with laser upgrade installed Original disk drive included(not attached to the Atari) Power cord A scart cable for video Not as Good: Missing the key for the Numpad 0 Has the badge of a 1040STE but this is actually a 1040STF The case has been painted The Keyboard was retrobrited badly, and now has hair like scratches on every key – A good case against retrobriting This has been a great computer for me, but I’m scaling back. I’ve tested the keyboard and everything seems to work ok. I can’t confirm if all of the function keys are all working, I can confirm F1, F7, and F8 are working – those are the only ones I use. I’m also including the guts of the ball mouse in case someone wants to put them back and replace the laser. I'll consider any reasonable offers.

Wanted to see if anybody could use them before I donate them to an electronics retailer. Just pay for shipping and you can have them - I'm only shipping within the US because of C19. I believe these can be used as replacement memory for latter A500 Motherboards as well as some variants of Atari ST - there is 24 of them. I believe these are similar to the above These are also memory chips for A500's but for earlier models - I don't remember which ones exactly Rev.6a and before possibly? Spare socket for Atari ST Blitters(Possibly the GLUE and MMU too). Known as the 'Funky' Socket according to Exxos(Chris) Two chip UK Rainbow TOS 1.04 Six chip US Rainbow TOS 1.04 The holy grail! The rare 2 MB Fat Agnus for A500(and I think A2000 as well) 2 - 1MB SIMM's for Atari STE's Various chip converters.

Hi all, I recently wrote a piece on Jack Tramiel and the battle over Amiga between Atari and Commodore. There's a huge amount of Commodore material from that era. Books, sites, talks, interviews, the lot. I really struggled to find much on the Atari side of the story. There's documentation about the ST's architecture and a really good video from the 1985 CES where the 130ST was introduced. I'm more interested in the story behind the people, the fights, the arguments, blood, sweat and tears that led to the Atari ST's release in 1985. Does anyone have any recommended books or sources they'd recommend?

An opentype font that rasterize like the Atari ST 8×16 system font
Sporny Kun posted a blog entry in SpornyKun
For this first post, I will present a project –more precisely a rework of the project– that I recently released. Sporniket Nostalgie v2 is an opentype font that renders like the 8×16 system font (a.k.a the 'hires' font) of the Atari ST. The first version was kind of OK but it had 2 major flaws and a minor one : first, it required a weird size (25 pt at 72 dpi) to render correctly, as I wanted to have room for accented uppercase without deformation of the glyph ; second, I was not entirely faithfull in the shape of the glyph anyways as I wanted to remove what I considered as 'flaws', like serifs on a generally sans serif font, I made an '&' that looked like 'Et', and so on ; and last, the shape of my glyphes were stuck to the original pixels and used handcrafted curves, making a not so nice feeling on printed paper. That said, I enjoyed using this font for a few years before changing my computers, and the rendering on paper was as intended, with rounded shapes and all. Another fact that made the rework necessary was that nowadays, exporting the font gives an bugged files, lots of letters seems to have lost their width. In practice, you see several letters at the same location. So, I decided to do it again, with the following objectives : faithfull to the original material at 8×16 pixels beautiful on paper : I used the "spiro" tool of Font Forge to have very smooth transition between straight sections and rounded section of a curve (third or forth order continuity), and tricking the rasterization algorithm (no hinting) to get the rights pixels while having constant width strokes on paper. A first release with the following unicode range supported : US-ASCII a.k.a Basic latin (any printable character from code 32 —space— to 127) ; Latin-1 supplement ; 'oe' ligatures and Ÿ to support french. The latest releases are here. You will find the font in 3 formats (opentype, truetype and woff), as well as a sample html demo to see the font on screen, and on paper if you print it. Since the release I set up my computer system (ubuntu linux) to use the font. I have yet to write a theme to use the font in the title bar. Following, some screenshots from my terminal. First, without anti-aliasing. Then, with anti-aliasing –I prefer this rendering–. I plan to make the same work for the 8×8 font soon, and try to do the 6×6 font later.
