It certainly shows what can be done (I think it's practically perfect, and it has a stunning virtual keyboard), and besides, I don't think the Atari ST was that different to the Amiga 500 (both had 68000 processors, even if the Amiga had custom ones), so it should be possible to tweak this Amiga one further, so I remain confident about such a future release.

Also the best one: http://www.atarilegend.com (You HAVE to register here, because the game rom files themselves only show up after doing so - look under "gamefile" on the page of the game you wish to download when you complete the process and you'll be able to see the download link - it'll be in the middle right-hand box - it won't appear otherwise. Many, many, games available, including "Another World"). 3) TOS files (just like Kickstart files - these go in the "Atari_ST" folder in your "GAME" directory): http://home.ptd.net/~cjhafner/ (Get the 1.02 one). IMPORTANT: if you experience a failure in the TOS file, make sure it is named "TOS.ROM". I hope that will tide things over until this UAE emulator is ready. "Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe", for example, works perfectly, as does "Cruise for a Corpse" (if you have a manual for the copy protection, or a cracked version) and a number of other "Amiga" games :). I've gained a great deal of respect for the ST in the past couple of weeks, so I hope you find this fun. Leave any questions here and I'll answer. Enjoy, ^Doody.

It played really well on the last version of this emu, North and South was playable too. I've been looking all over for brutal sports football but cant find it anywhere! Oh, The New Zealand Story was another one of my faves, tho Its easier to play the Mega Drive version on DGEN. Gawd I love stunt car racer.

What's the speed like with this emu? Brutal Sports Football ran OK with the last one, but the State Of The Art Demo was a bit sluggish. Cheers Kenny CoasterFreak:

Gameplay is possible, but not entirely pleasant (and seemingly around 50-60% speed on zero frameskip, and about 70% on frameskip one - after that, it is not really worth playing), but still encouraging, albeit sluggish. Work on the load time and a few gameplay tweaks would be great. Doesn't emulate the A1200 yet...I don't think, even if it includes options for Kickstart 3.0. If somebody can put me right on this, that'd be great. See below for an AGA test. By the way, just in case you run Amiga "SWOS" on your PC, check out http://www.eibmoz.dk/swos0506/index.html for an 05/06 update (would be lovely to eventually get this working on the PSPUAE). Second Test - Just to check out the A1200 compatability: "The Clue" (AGA) - crashes the PSP. Third Test - "Pizza Connection / Pizza Tycoon" - takes AGES to load, and had a problem inserting discs after Disc 2. Would appreciate somebody checking this out. Would try out some more later... ^Doody.
