PeBo Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I don't visit the ST forums often, so I hope this is the right place for this question.... What is the best DEDICATED Atari ST emulator out there? (Subjective I know) For years I was completely sold on Steem Engine, but a downgrade to Windows 10 seems to have slowed it down considerably (I also downgraded my PC's GPU when both my SLI cards died, which may have effect emulation speed as well (seems to have killed fullscreen anyway) Steem Engine is getting pretty old now, and the only other dedicated emulator I've tried and liked was WinSTon a gazillion years ago, so I'm wondering if there are any new emulation software out there that I may have missed.

ParanoidLittleMan Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Steem is still updated, so fullscreen problems in Windows 7-10 are solved too. My opimion is that Steem is the best. http://ataristeven.exxoshost.co.uk/Steem.htm https://sourceforge.net/projects/steemsse/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opimion is that Steem is the best. http://ataristeven.exxoshost.co.uk/Steem.htm https://sourceforge.net/projects/steemsse/ Thanks for this...always loved Steem and thought it had simply become abandonware, and was searching for something that came close. (All I could ever find was the 2004 version.) WinSTon was actually the proggie that introduced me to emulation (I'm guessing most folks started with MAME or the original N64 emulator), then Steem made the experience nearly indistinguishable from real iron (although not nearly as sexy as have a real STe on your desk). Guess I'm not going to be getting anything productive done this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_ForEver Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 SteemSSE is fine but check SainT also a good one and a lot of goodies there: http://leonard.oxg.free.fr/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ripdubski Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hatari I like Hatari, but it needs more shortcut keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fedepede04 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I like Steem, much better interface Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelmischief Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hatari is a better emulation, but the UI is so clunky and unreliable that I opt for Steem. Shame really. I should get off my ass and branch that thing to a proper Windows version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp060 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 My one wish for Hatari would be host network access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amimitl2 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) I must say, I very much like Hatari, and I actually don't mind the UI that much. It's really the only option I got too, since I use Linux exclusively. And it has great documentation as well: https://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari/raw-file/tip/doc/manual.html#The_GUI The only downside with it for me, is that memory snapshots are tied to the specific version of Hatari you're using. So if you later upgrade Hatari to a newer version, you can't use your current memory snapshots anymore. I believe Steem doesn't have that problem.

Grazey Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 As a Windows user - Steem v3.2 debug is all I normally use. Mainly because it's so powerful and the user-friendly GUI. I do use Hatari when creating and testing new SNDH files as Hatari's sound emulation is far superior - I also use Hatari when games/demos fail on Steem. So.... Steem v3.2 Debug - 85% Hatari - 10% Steem SSE - 5% Grz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
