Version 2.6 of the Steem Engine Atari STE emulator has been released for Linux and Windows. Steem runs the vast majority of Atari ST software and is designed to be easy to use with many unique features. Version 2.6 contains many improvements and bug fixes since the previous 2.5 release.Please visit the Steem Engine home page for a complete list of changes and to download the software.

That site must have got hammered, because it appears to be out of bandwidth... Anyone got an alternate site to download the new version of STeem?

Have you checked out the mirror at http://www.steem.quicksurfer.co.uk/ ?

I actually held off on posting news about this for a few days because I could not get to the site due to bandwidth restrictions. I think they need a new web host.

Steem 2.61 has been released.

 

Release notes:

We were quite surprised that v2.5 didn't contain any major bugs, unfortunately v2.6 did. So here is a small update to stop Steem crashing, there are no emulation improvements. However this version is definitely worth the download as, thanks to the author of Netatari (rb), we have finally fixed the Windows 98 extended features crash, so now all Steem users have access to the profiles and macros features.  

 

-- Bugs Fixed --  

. Fixed extended features Windows 98 crash finally (thanks rb!)  

. Stopped crashing on complex 60Hz screens  

. Corrected extended monitor reset display  

 

-- New Features --  

. Close disk manager after insert, reset and run option  

. Australian keyboard language added  

. DEBUG: Added I/O address monitoring, write and read  

 

You can get the update from http://www.blimey.strayduck.com/download.htm  

 

Something I should mention for any of you that use Steem's auto-updater, for some unknown reason it won't work for this release, sorry about that.
