400/800/1200 cartridges on ST?

[TonVH]

Can cartridges of the 8 bit computers be used on the Atari ST?

[Goochman]

Simple answer is No. Different platforms and no compatibility between the 2 cartridge wise.

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.

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.

Your ST will need a Motorola 68060 CPU to run at full speed though!

Oh good to know, I've always was curious abut that.

ST XFormer is junk - almost 0% chance anything runs at all or even close to normal speed.

It is simply not possible on 8 MHz computer,

Doesnt make up for the lousy attitude he had and terrible performance of the emulator.
