# Hatari Atari Software Compatibility List

Version 2.4.1, August 2022

This list has been written by: Thomas Huth, Eero Tamminen & Nicolas Pomarède

Hatari on the WWW: http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/

## Index

## Introduction

Here are lists of Atari software that have been tested with different Hatari versions and configurations.

First is listed software (games, demos and applications) for normal STs, after them is listed STE software. Then there are a few TT-only games and demos, and finally a list of somewhat working Falcon games, demos and applications.

Technical details and any known issues in the software are described in the "Notes" column of the lists. Software having issues has different "Hatari version" column background color; orange for minor and red for major issues. The first known/tested Hatari version with which a program worked (perfectly) or with which it was last tested still to have issues, is given in the version field.

### Reporting compatibility issues

If something that works on the real hardware doesn't work properly in Hatari (or something has started working in latest Hatari version) and this information is missing from these lists, please mail hatari-devel mailing list so that we can update the list.

Before reporting something not working as expected, please check few things:

- That you have enabled the "Slower but more compatible CPU" Hatari system option and that the machine type (ST/STe/TT/Falcon) is correct.
- Amount of memory. Some games and demos may not work if you have specified too little or too much memory. For ST, 1MB memory size is usually fairly safe.
- Some games/demos can refuse to run when GEMDOS HD emulation is enabled (due to presence of Hatari cartridge image needed for that). In STF/STE mode, it is also better to disable the MegaST's real time clock.
- TOS version: ST demos and games may require a specific TOS version and fail to work with all other versions. If you notice that this information is missing for some listed game or demo, please send mail to the hatari-devel mailing list.

Note that some demos and games (especially floppy-only ones done with STOS), don't work with the free EmuTOS ROM. To make sure they have enough RAM available, you should use the most appropriate EmuTOS version: 192K one for ST, 256K one for STE, and 512K one (included with the Hatari binary downloads as it has widest HW support) for TT/Falcon games and demos. For more information, see emutos.txt.

Also note that since Hatari 1.8, support is included also for STX, IPF and CTR floppy image formats. They allow storing disk contents in an unaltered form, without requiring a crack to remove the copy-protection. Some complex protections rely on precise CPU/FDC timings provided with these formats, and a specific TOS version.

- For STF protected games, it is recommended to use TOS 1.02 or 1.04 and 1MB RAM, as well as turning HD emulation OFF for maximum compatibility (but most games will run fine with different settings).

(More information on games compatibility on Atari forum.)

## ST software compatibility list

These aren't comprehensive lists. The lists concentrate mainly on software that has (historically had) problems working in Hatari or provide good regression test-cases for some specific technical emulation issues, but some well known other programs are also listed.

By default everything that works on a real ST should work also in Hatari.

The Sentinel | 1.7 | Mouse moved too slowly before Hatari 1.7
The Teller | 1.9 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
The Ultimate Ride |  | The game has a bug and will crash if drive B is empty. Either disable drive B or insert disk 2 in drive B to make it work
Tiles Osmosis | 1.8 | Requires disk in drive A: to start
To Be On Top | 1.8 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Although it works on real ST with 512 kB of RAM, current emulation requires to use ≥ 1MB RAM
Toki | before 1.0 |
Total Eclipse | 1.8 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
Treasure Trap | 1.8 | When running on Hatari versions before 1.6, the RS232 emulation must be enabled for the game to work (since it writes some debug information to the serial port)
Warlock's Quest | 1.7 | The game has some IKBD bugs, it doesn't work with TOS 1.04, but works fine with TOS 1.02 or 1.62. The keyboard mode is also less responsive than the joystick mode, but that's the same on a real ST

Zombi | 1.6.2 | Uses the IKBD set-clock command to set a custom time for game-internal time measurement

### ST demos

Some (very) rare demos try to install IKBD code. Hatari doesn't have full 6301 emulator, but has specific code to handle these particular demos. They are marked with '*'. Few remaining screen sync issues are related to hi/lo frequency switching or switching to 60 Hz for too long (used for border removal).

Tested ST demos
Demo | Hatari version | Notes
--- | --- | ---
1984: No Cooper | 1.0 | Many very good plasma effects, mid res overscan, ... The loader's protection requires exact cpu/shifter sync, as well as cpu pairing
ACF: Just Buggin' | 1.6 | Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation
Acid Team: Dragonnels* | 1.1 | Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. The "Unlimited Bobs" screen is very sensitive to proper IKBD timings.
Aggression: Overdose | before 1.0 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
Big Alec: Audio Artistic Demo | 1.7 |
BushWacKers: Transbeauce II* | 1.1 | Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. Does not work with HD emulation. Due to a bug in the demo when detecting RAM size, it will crash in STF mode when using more than 1 MB (because MMU is forced to 512 KB)
Chaos: Pandemonium | 2.3 |
Checkpoint: Posh | before 1.0 |
Checkpoint: Suretrip 49% | 2.0 | Requires Hatari ≥ 2.0 to work, else the fullscreen tunnel part will crash after a few seconds (due to complex VBL/HBL exception timing)
Dead Braincells: Monoscreen | 2.4 | (Partial) monochrome overscan isn't supported by Hatari. Demo requires manual monitor timings adjustments to work (which may be SM124 specific)
Delta Force: Punish Your Machine | 1.5 | Sync-scroll, overscan... ST Connexion's screen features 4 pixels hardware scrolling on STF. "Best Part Of The Creation" uses spec512 mode in med res
Delta Force: Syntax Terror | 1.3 | Planes are shifted in TCB screen (missing stabilizer). Tex screen works since 1.3 (mixes 50/60 HZ lines)
DHS: Sweety | before 1.0 | Does not work with HD emulation
Diamond Design: Brace | 1.5 | Use spec512 mode in med res in the mixed low/med res horizontal scrolltext
Dune: Illusion | 1.0 | Very nice demo. Some rasters are sometimes flickering, this is a bug in the demo, not in Hatari. Using --fastfdc can cause problems with some parts of this demo
Dune/Sector One: Fantasia | before 1.0 |
Dune/Sector One: Odd Stuff | before 1.0 | In STF mode, some screens tries to simulate more colors by changing the palette on each VBL, which creates an unpleasant flickering effect (this is not a bug in Hatari). Use STE mode for better results
Eagles / EKO / Impact: Place To Be Again | devel | Although the demo should work in STF mode, the colors will be wrong in the Menu part, unless you use STE mode (this is a bug in the demo which disables timer B when enabling timer A to play samples)
Equinox: Virtual Escape | before 1.0 |
Equinox: Vodka Demo | 1.6.1 | The 'Kill The Beast 2' part requires Hatari 1.6.1 to work. Also due to a bug in the demo loader that forces MMU to 512 KB, the demo will crash in STF mode with more than 1MB RAM (even on a real STF)
Fraggle's: Bird Mad Girl Show | 1.5 |
Futur Minds: Snork | 2.4 | DNT screen 1 is mixing low/med res on the same line, which is not supported by Hatari at the moment
Inner Circle: Decade Demo | 1.7 | Very good demo. Reset part requires Hatari ≥ 1.7 to avoid flickering bottom border
Lynx: BBS Intro 3 | 1.5 | Good 3D (voluntarily uses some address errors in the 3D routines)
M.C.S: Delirious Demos IV | 2.4 | Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation and for some of the overscan screens. Some screens are not working or not correctly emulated yet (Vodka, Fulltrax, Tekila, La Miga Demo)
MJJ Prod: Anomaly | 1.7 | Requires Hatari ≥ 1.7 to avoid glitches in the main menu when playing digidrums
Next: Phaleon Giga Demo | 1.0 | 4 disks. Some overscan screens have small sync issues (in Future Minds screen, planes are shifted in the lower part)
Offbeat: The Musical Wonders 1990 | 1.7 | This demo requires STE mode. With STF mode, bottom border is not correctly removed (this is the same on a real STF)
Omega: Omega | 2.4 | In full overscan screen, planes are shifted due to missing hi/lo stabilizer
Omega: RGB Plasma | 1.5 | Boot sector doesn't match the physical disk layout, which caused bus error in Hatari < 1.5
Overlanders: European Demos | 1.1 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
Overlanders: Gen4 Demo | 1.5 | Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Uses illegal/address error exceptions to decode the program
Overlanders: Ventura | 1.1 | In Ultimate Dist screen planes are shifted in the upper logo
Oxygene: Flip-o-demo | before 1.0 |
Oxygene: ST-NICCC 2000 Demo | 1.7 | Due to a bug in the FDC's emulation, the demo ran slower than expected with Hatari < 1.7
Paulo Simoes (ljkb): The Overscan Demos | 1.0 | All demos are running in overscan, including some spectrum 512 pictures.
Paulo Simoes (ljkb): shforstv | 1.3 | Small technical demo posted on www.atari-forum.com. It features the most advanced hardscroll on STF, using only 4 raster lines and all possible borders's removal (including 162 bytes 50 Hz line).
Phalanx: Overdrive | 1.1 | In Dragon screen planes are shifted in the upper part
PHF: UMD 8730 | 1.8 | The Ultimate Music Disc for Atari. This demo doesn't work in STF mode with Hatari < 1.8, due to the non standard fading colors routine used at the start of the demo
Reservoir Gods: Hallucinations | before 1.0 |
Sector One: Oh no!! More Froggies | 1.0 | Works only with <4MB of RAM. It doesn't support SID sound with timers during the overscan parts, so it stops music (it is not a bug).
ST Connexion/Overlanders/Legacy: Froggies over the Fence* | 1.1 | Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine
Sync: The LoSTE screens | 2.0 | Uses 2 cycle precision to create 0 byte lines on STF/STE and requires wakeup states emulation for STF
Sync: {Closure} | 2.0 | Very technical demo requiring accurate emulation of many items : 2 cycle precision, wakeup states emulation for STF, new overscan line with no stabiliser on the right. A real benchmark for emulators !
The CareBears: SoWatt | 1.0 | Sync-scroll, overscan...
The CareBears: Swedish New Year | 1.3 | Fullscreen in the first TCB screen is mixing 50/60 HZ lines
The Exceptions: B.I.G. Demo | 1.0 |
The Lost Boys: Mindbomb | 1.3 | "DI No Shit" is mixing 50/60 Hz lines. Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
The Marvellous V8: V8 Music System | 1.1 | The keyboard detection at the beginning is buggy and it is sometimes necessary to retry several times (this is the same on a real STF)
The Syndicate: If Pigs Could Fly | before 1.0 |
The Union: The Union Demo | 1.8 | One of the most famous ST demos. Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Although it works on real ST with 512 kB of RAM, current emulation requires to use ≥ 1MB RAM
TNT Crew: Death of the left border | 2.4 | Planes are shifted, but Hatari ≥ 2.0 includes a temporary fix for this
TOS Crew: 4-pixel plasma screen | 1.8 | This demo features some 4 pixels color changes on STF, instead of the usual 8 pixels minimum width
Unlimited Matricks: Dark Side Of The Spoon | 1.0 | Lots of fullscreens and sync-scrolling
X-Troll: Long Screen | before 1.0 |
Ym Rockerz: Popstars | before 1.0 |

### Midi setup

If you don't have a MIDI sequencer, on Linux you can use a softsynth like Timidity or FluidSynth instead (if your distribution supports ALSA). For instructions, see the midi-linux.txt file.

## STE software compatibility list

By default everything should work with the STE emulation. The lists below contain nearly all the STE specific software that the developers could get their hands on...

### STE games

First are some STE games that do work with the STE features in Hatari. Most of these games work only on STE, but here are also some games which work (or have a version that works) also on ST, i.e. they are just STE enhanced. These are marked with '*' (for more info, see here).

### STE demos

Blitter emulation cycle-accuracy is an issue for some demos.

Tested STE demos
Demo | Hatari version | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Aggression: Armada is dead | 1.0 |
Aggression: Braindamage | 1.3 |
Aggression: RGBeast | 1.9 | Overscan + blitter. Requires Hatari ≥ 1.9
Anatomica: Extreme Rage | 2.0 | 3D screen bottom border looks different in Youtube video, but that is assumed to be from an older emulator version. Earlier bad blitter timings were causing timer B to occur at wrong time
Atari scene collective: 20 years* | 1.1 | You may need to reset between screens
Brainless Institute: Bad Taste | 2.4 | Demo crashes during the vector balls at the beginning. This is due to the blitter overwriting some code (due to a bug in the sprite routine) but the reason why it happens only under Hatari was not found yet
Checkpoint: ATM 10 Years | 1.8 | Streamed music, voxels
Checkpoint: Yanartas | 1.9 | ST demo that works only STE (due to top border removal having too short timings and freezing the demo)
Cream: Madness | 1.2 | Music demo with Amiga Paula soundchip emulation + tunes
Cybernetics: New Stream | 1.8 | WRITER.PRG doesn't work due to FDC "write track" command, but demos work fine if you convert IMG files to ST floppy images by removing their 8 byte header.
Cybernetics: Relapse | 1.9 | WRITER.PRG doesn't work due to FDC "write track" command (same as 'New Stream'). The Graphix Sound 2 part uses blitter with overscan and requires Hatari ≥ 1.9.
Defence Force: Save The Earth | 1.5 | Right border switches, blitter, extended palette, HW scrolling/screen splitting, DMA music + microwire/lmc control.
Defence Force: Time Slices | 2.4 | Monochrome. Vertical STNICCC2015 scroll text is missing and some parts of the screen have inverted colors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlpP7JVImGA

Dune/Sector One: UFO | 1.7 | Requires --fastfdc off
Electronic Images: Music Dream II | 1.5 | This demo requires accurate values when reading dma sound address ($ff8909/0b/0d) and won't work correctly with Hatari < 1.5
Extream: Vulgar Display of Power | 2.1 | Filled vectors with effects (z-buffering, polygon clipping, plane projection)

### STE applications

Finally some STE only or STE enhanced applications.

tested STE applications
Application | Hatari version | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Hextracker (0.849b) | 2.4 | Uses non-standard mouse event scaling factor. Mouse cannot (vertically) traverse whole Hatari window unless mouse grab or fullscreen mode is used
MaxYMiser DMA | before 1.0 |
Octalyser STE | 1.0 | Opens left and bottom border, screen flickers when playing mods if Octalyser isn't configured correctly for the machine
Protracker STE | 1.4 | Opens bottom border, 50kHz DMA replay
Stretch | before 1.0 | Screen extender (like the famous Bigscreen). One of the few programs which uses STE hardware scrolling also in monochrome mode

## TT software compatibility list

Most programs that work on TT work also in the Falcon emulation. As all 1-8 bit GEM programs work without problems under TT emulation this section lists only programs that have TT-specific features.

### TT applications and games

TT applications and games
Program | Hatari version | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Atari800 | 2.3 | Requires TT-RAM and 256-color VGA mode. Really slow. Sound works on Falcon as-is, on TT it requires XBIOS sound emulator
Capy | 2.0 | VGA/TT-medium only. Some version(s) bus error due to DSP register check (although they should support TT with chip music)
CrY image viewer | 2.4 | Needs at least some TT-RAM. Either the 8-bit (grayscale) luminance screen, or Cyan-red color screen is shown, not the correct interlaced "16bpp CrY mode" result (by tSCc)
Frontier: Elite 2 | 2.4 | Palette issues (also present in Falcon emulation): Intro sequence partly plays in grayscale, in-game colors are completely wrong. Workaround: Play in ST/E emulation mode; preferrably with 16 or 32 MHz CPU clock to achieve a usable frame rate
M_PLAYER | 2.3 | Movie player and creator. v4.02 added TT microwire support for audio. Whether M_PLAYER actually uses sound, depends on there being enough RAM for it to cache video audio
Milanopoly | 1.0 | GEM monopoly
OpenTTD | 1.9 | "hatari-prg-args --tos-res ttlow --machine tt --tos etos1024k.img -s 4 --ttram 256 --addr24 off -- ./openttd-m68020.gtp -m null -s null -b 8bpp-optimized", then select "original" as "Land generator" at game start. Game startup takes minutes with nothing happening on screen. Works also on Falcons with FPU and no DSP, as long as it's started from 256-color resolution
Oxyd 2 TT | before 1.0 | Oxyd 2 in color
PM Doom, Heretic and Hexen | 1.0 | Heretic v0.24 is playable, Doom and Hexen v0.55 are very slow
TUM | 1.0 | "The Ultimate Minesweeper", GEM, sound effects

### TT demos

Brainstorm: Adebug 3DTT demo | 1.2 | (Works also on Falcon)
Daroou: Daroou's GEM Demos | 2.0 | Need TT-low mode. Work also on Falcon (with music). Boing demo bus errors on startup on both
Evolution: Elegant Machinery | 2.0 | Nice 3D demo, need 32 MB TT RAM to load the music
gwEm: 4getful | 2.1 | TT-version of gwEm's 4K demo
Moving Pixels: TT-Wars | before 1.0 |
Omega: Swing, Vinjett, Xitkul | 1.2 | TT demos included to XiTEC presentation. Xitkul colors flicker
tSCc: 256mbrot, Bragg256, Glasstro, Orion-B, Yabt | 1.8 | TT/Falcon intros
tSCc: Beams | 2.1 | TT-version. At least 8MB RAM
tSCc: TC fish / blobs | 2.4 | Does not interlace properly, but is viewable
tSCc: TT-hires | 2.4 | Needs 8MB. Slideshow flickers badly + graphics and colors are wrong
Xanth FX: Shiny Bubbles TT | 1.2 |

## Falcon software compatibility list

You can select between three different DSP emulation modes with the Hatari "--dsp" option:

- none: No emulation. If program doesn't need/use DSP, this is the best option.
- emu: DSP emulation. Needed if program requires DSP. On by default for Falcon. Slow.
- dummy: Faked DSP response to DSP commands. Some rare programs that need DSP may also work with faked DSP. This is much faster than the real DSP emulation.

The "dsp" column in tables below tells which DSP emulation mode needs to be used for the given program to work. If it doesn't matter, the column contains "-". The column for whether the program works and for whether it has (working) sound have "yes" when this is true and otherwise "-".

Note that because EmuTOS (tos.img included with the Hatari binary downloads) doesn't yet support OS calls for controlling the DSP, none of the programs using DSP work with it, they need a real Falcon TOS v4.x.

Only few Falcon programs require MMU emulation to be enabled to work. Unless otherwise indicated, programs work with MMU emulation disabled.

Due to incomplete VIDEL emulation, missing JagPad support and some remaining emulation cycle accuracy issues, some Falcon programs aren't usable yet. Most games and demos work with RGB monitor, those requiring VGA one are indicated separately.

### Falcon games

Falcon games
Title | Hatari version | Sound | DSP | Comment
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Aazohm Krypth | 1.3 | - | emu | Use joypad. 8MB RAM. Black screen without DSP emu. Auto-starting works from Hatari v2.1 onward
Aces High preview | 1.3 | - | - |
Addsub | 2.3 | - | - | Player 1 keys are Z + C, Player 2 keys are up + down. Space key removes the focused piece for both players. Joystick up or ESC exits
Ausbruch | 1.0 | yes | - | Use STE joypad. Background music if DSP emu enabled
Bad Mood | 2.4 | yes | emu | Enhanced Doom I/II game port and engine rewrite (v0.35-v0.37 from 2017): Requires DSP and 14 MB RAM WAD cache creation crashes/freezes, so one needs to get pre-built WAD cache Uses MMU if it is available, but crashes with Hatari 030 MMU emulation 32-bit addressing / TT-RAM works only with Hatari specific "bmhat.ttp" version Game statusbar does not show due to Videl emulation omissions (in earlier versions "--natfeats yes" could be used enable use of heavier Hatari specific statusbar drawing mode, but not any more) Some parts have clear speed differences to real Falcon due to CPU, FPU (instruction too fast) and Videl emulation (screen updated only at VBL) inaccuracies
Bad Mood (demo) | 2.4 | - | emu | Old Doom level viewer (from 90's). All tested versions (v1.9a, v2.14a, v3.03a, v307a) work with Doom1 WAD. Heretic shareware WAD looks fine with older versions, (as long as one is not inside a wall), and broken with v3.x. "bm307.ttp" shows just black with MMU, but "bm307fh.ttp" and older versions work fine with MMU

More Falcon demos can be found e.g. from the Atari.Org Falcon demos archive and demo tools from the dhs.nu demoscene site.

### 060 Falcon demos

Here are Falcon demos documented to be for a 060 CPU. Issue with several of them is them relying on CT TOS and its emulation for the 030/040 CPU/FPU instructions missing in 060. Some of the demos may even have worked with the oldUAE CPU core included to earlier Hatari versions, because it did not limit its instruction emulation only to instructions available on the actual selected CPU and FPU HW type.

FPSP060 is standalone Atari program providing emulation of the instructions missing on 060. Just have it in AUTO folder for demos listed as requiring it. See: Thorsten Otto's FPSP repository.

Falcon demos
Title | Hatari version | Sound | DSP | Comment
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
DHS: Codein, Derealization | 2.4 | yes | - | 4MB + 32MB TT-RAM (less for Codein) + FPU. Start with 030, or 060 + FPSP060. Music with DSP
Fit: Hex Pistols | 2.4 | yes | emu | 14MB + 060 + FPU, .tSCc port from Amiga. Requires FPSP060 and full software FPU emulation (--fpu-softfloat on)
Fit: Stercus Accidit | 2.4 | yes | emu | 8MB + 060 + FPU, .tSCc port from Amiga. Requires FPSP060 and full software FPU emulation (--fpu-softfloat on)
Lamers: Lamer than Lamers | 2.4 | yes | - | Requires 32MB TT-RAM + FPU. Starts with 030, or 060 + FPSP060. Music with DSP
Lamers: F22.0 | 2.4 | yes | - | 060 + 64MB TT-RAM + FPU + FPSP060. Music with DSP, but emulation too slow for it to sound decent, so best to disable that + cycle-exactness for speed. Works only with EmuTOS: --tos etos1024k.img --machine falcon --dsp none --sound off --fpu internal --cpulevel 6 --cpuclock 32 --cpu-exact off --addr24 off --ttram 64 -s 4 --fast-forward yes
MadWizards: Kioea | 2.0 | "yes" | - | 060 + 14MB + 64MB TT-RAM + FPU. Startup takes over 10 minutes and demo is also otherwise so slow that it is better to disable sound and DSP to speed up fast forwarding: --machine falcon --dsp none --cpulevel 6 --cpuclock 32 --fpu internal --sound off --fast-forward yes --addr24 off --ttram 64 -s 14
Orion_: We Reached Stars | 2.3 | yes | - | Music with DSP. Requires 060 + 32Mhz + 16 MB TT ram: --fast-boot on --machine falcon --dsp none --mmu off --cpulevel 6 --cpuclock 32 --fpu internal -s 4 --addr24 off --ttram 16 --sound off
TBL: Ocean Machine, Rift, Silkcut, Startstruck | 1.9 | yes | - | Require 060 + FPU + 4MB / 64MB TT-RAM. Music with DSP (DSP + sound can be disabled to speed up emulation a lot)
XI / Satantronic: Imperfect | 2.4 | yes | - | 512b intro, requires FPU. Starts with 030 or 060 + FPSP060, but renders wrong

### Falcon applications

Here are listed some Falcon specific applications:

Falcon applications
Title | Hatari version | DSP | Comment
--- | --- | --- | ---
AceMidi (demo) | 1.6 | emu | DSP generated softsynth sounds need Hatari at least v1.6 to sound OKish, and v2.0+ to sound good
AceTracker v2 | 2.0 | emu | Sounds good, but needs beefy machine for fast enough DSP emulation
AFM (audio fun machine) v1.03 | 2.4 | emu | Broken sound / noise when equaliser is enabled. Sound is fine when equaliser is disabled
Animator (v0.20.4) | 2.3 | - | Replacement for Aviplayer. Doesn't play all the files that M_PLAYER does
Aniplayer v2.22 | 2.4 | emu | On first MP2/MP3 file play, complains about DSP sync. After that, MP2/MP3 files play, but not correctly, bits of songs are repeated many times when they should not. Does not handle colors properly for MPG files either. Rest seems to work OK
Apex Alpha (demo) | 2.4 | - | Requires MMU + FPU. Screen isn't drawn properly, but dragging scorpion image over top + bottom left screen area reveals GUI buttons that can be moved around the screen. Doesn't seem to do much else
Apex demo v2.10 | 2.4 | emu | apex210d.prg crashes on startup. Separate image viewer programs work fine. On real Falcon, application (its bus error detection for Expose digitizer) crashes under debugger, but works when run normally (details)
Apex Media v2.41 | 2.3 | - | The latest v2.41 works fine, as do the separate viewers. Decoding of several image formats uses DSP, but otherwise works also fine without DSP
AVI 030 | 2.3.1 | - | Very picky about which AVI files it supports
Centview | 1.3 | emu | Remember to run included JPEGD.PRG first (or put it to AUTO-folder)
Centurbo bench | 2.4 | emu | New (v2.4) WinUAE CPU core: FPU 500-800 Mhz, DSP 64 Mhz, CPU 90-120 Mhz Old (v1.8) WinUAE CPU core: FPU 221 Mhz, DSP 32 Mhz, CPU 15 Mhz SW FPU emu shows slightly higher Mhz than HW FPU emu. Moving mouse drops FPU and CPU numbers up to 20%
Chronos 3D player | 2.0 | - | Requires 15-bit display (e.g. NOVA)
Delmpaint | 2.3.1 | - | Program errors at exit if started in other than 256-color low rez
Escapepaint | 1.1 | - | Very nice
FalcAMP | 2.4 | emu | MOD playing works fine, MP3s have no sound / complain about DSP timeout (v1.20b, v1.09 just does not do anything with MP3 files)
FlaySID (v3.01) | 2.4 | emu | Freezes when starting SID playback with DSP engine. Worked fine with Hatari v2.3.1
FlexTrax | 2.4 | emu | Heavy to emulate, sound is very noisy. Startup graphics look OK only in VGA mode
GemPLAY | 2.0 | emu | Requires beefy machine for AM playback. Fileselector dir selection doesn't work with v1.92 or newer without adding "C:" in from of the file pattern (GemPlay bug)
Godpaint | 1.0 | - |
Graoumf Tracker (v0.8890) | 2.3.1 | emu | 32-voice DSP soundtracker
Hextracker (v0.849) | 2.4 | - | Uses non-standard mouse event scaling factor. Mouse cannot (vertically) traverse whole Hatari window unless mouse grab or fullscreen mode is used
Indypaint | 1.0 | - | Errors at exit if started in other than HiColor mode
MP2 player | 1.5 | emu | NoCrew MP2 sound player
Quaderno | 2.3.1 | - | MIDI auto-composer / sequencer. Expects 640x400@256. Does not work when run from the drive root; it either needs to be run from a subdirectory, or one needs to symlink quaderno.sys directory under itself to work around this (which is required when using auto-start as that runs program with its directory being the drive root)
Rainbow II multimedia | 1.5 | emu | Mouse cannot traverse whole scrolled application screen area unless mouse grab or fullscreen mode is used
ScummVm | 1.9 | - | Very slow, needs FPU, a lot of TT-RAM and user-specified config file name ("hatari-prg-args.sh -s 14 --ttram 256 --machine falcon --tos tos404.img --dsp none --addr24 off --fpu internal -- ./scummvm-m68020-olivier.ttp -c scummvm.cfg")
Voxx | 2.4 | emu | Demo version runs, but does not accept any input. Free v1.00 version freezes after showing startup logo, and DSP underflow (no user-space instructions are executed, only TOS interrupts). Requires VGA with 640x480@16 resolution at minimum
Whip | 1.4 | emu | Effects are working
WinRec | 1.4 | emu | Direct-to-disk recording with DSP sound effects processing

## TT/Falcon utilities

Here are some utilities that either have specific TT and/or Falcon support or work only on them.

TT/Falcon utilities
Utility | Hatari version | Notes
--- | --- | ---
Adebug (reloaded) | 1.7 | Debugger supporting 68000 - 68030
Calamus | 2.3 | Calamus SL, 1991 demo: Nice with TT-med or TT-high, and larger VDI modes Requires at minimum 2MB ST and 640x400 resolution Calamus SL2000, SL2003 R3, L2006 R7, LE2015 R1 (lite versions): Require either GDOS to be installed, or an older EmuTOS version (v0.9.5-v0.9.12) which did not have GDOS stubs Require at minimum 8MB RAM and 800x600 resolution (e.g. TT-high or 800x600@16 VDI mode)
Cécile v2.22 | 2.3 | Hard disk driver. Supports only TT and Falcon. When using Falcon as machine, you either need to use an IDE disk, or disable the "fast boot" option.
FreeMiNT / XaAES | 2.4 | Needs to be installed/booted from a hard disk image as MiNT overrides GEMDOS (i.e. GEMDOS HD cannot do its interception). FreeMiNT v1.19, bootable snapshot from summer 2022: Disable SCC drivers (e.g. "rm mint/*/*/scc.xdd"), or MiNT boot freezes (due to Hatari's incomplete SCC emulation) With 030 MMU + FPU + cycle-exact (cache) emulation enabled, switching to XaAES, clicking on "Quit all Apps" and then "Quit XaAES" (in "Process" menu), freezes Hatari. This happens only with EmuTOS v1.1.x VanillaMiNT-030-1.19, from March 2017: Under TT emulation, if either MMU or 32-bit addressing is enabled, MiNT crashes at startup to "Bus Error writing at address $fffffff". Under Falcon emulation, both work
HD Driver | 1.9 | Hard disk driver. Works with native ACSI, IDE and SCSI on machines supporting those interfaces + NF_SCSI driver. Native SCSI bus support requires at least 020 CPU, rest work with any 680x0 CPU
ROMSPEED | 1.9 | Utility to copy and run ROM from Fast-RAM to accelerate its working. Requires TT-RAM. Different memory timings on different memory areas aren't emulated yet, so no speed changes are visible

## Software sites

In case you are new to the Atari scene or an old-timer who's forgotten where all the freely available software is, these file archive sites still retain their Atari sections:

- funet.fi
- lip6.fr
- tu-berlin.de
- umich.edu
- no-fragments (Falcon SW)

Demos (for many platforms) can be found from pouet.net and besides Atari scene news, Dead Hackers Society provides descriptions, screenshots and files for tools to create music, graphics and code on Atari:

- pout.net
- dhs.nu

There are also couple of sites dedicated to STE and Falcon specific software:

- Cristophe's Falcon games site
- Information about programs with STE specific features
