Thanks, I understand this. What I did not get was, how is this changing the screen address every line can help me expand line width to ( as evil wrote ) infinite width ( and without using lw register ) But I will not be asking more, the magical sync code you mentioned above definitely excludes this...

register ff820f is of a byte size for STE ( falcon has a different register which is of word size ) So does it mean that on STE there is a limit of a one shot playfield composed of 4 horizontal screens that can be hardware scrolled? ( byte = 256 = 3 * 80 words per scanline which can be skipped by s...

It's known that MPP (which is used in these two demos) is a bit too tight on timing so these infamous dots can show up. The way to get rid of it is to switch off the machine, and on again. And hope it will work. I tried Sea of Colour on a number of machines before releasing it, and it very rarely go...

Thanx Evil. Can you ask to Jochen if you can spread his editor? I was asked not to upload it a long time ago when I was building the chip tracker section of my homepage. Also got some other nice trackers back then that remains unreleased, like MS 4.0 with seven voices. But I leave that up to Tao to...

I suppose it can't hurt, so here you can see it playing the Solidify track:

I think for the early ones (Readme, LSD, LCD, SNDS, B.I.G.) it was mostly C-64 compositions. So as far I know, those songs needed no composition tool. Although the note-player needed to be remade for the ST and sound programming done from scratch as well. For newer original compositions (like Thalio...

Nic Thisell worked at Avalanche Studios?

Still there as far as I know.

Hi, how many sound channels Atari Falcon had? It has four stereo pairs in hardware but only one pair can be connected to the internal DAC at once. By adding more external DAC's to the DSP port (with devices such as FA8) you can get all 8 channels out individually. For games and so forth that don't ...

Thanks for the info! The RGB cables are indeed RGB, but sadly seems like I am out of luck with this display. Outside of importing a color monitor (would end up costing roughly 300USD due to shipping), I think my only option at this point is to a) give up or b) go with your advice (B) and get an STe...

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a reconditioned 1040STF (NTSC) from a very reputable seller, but am having trouble with it and was wondering where I should start in troubleshooting it. Basically, I have a Sony PVM monitor which support RGB over SCART. I use several consoles/computers on this m...

I have updated the lastest test archive with various demo replay files which I've found on the internet. The files are stored in the "ETC_DAT" subdirectory ("DEMO2.REP" - "DEMO7.REP") and can be used by renaming them to "DEMO.REP". As an obvious rule of thumb...

thanks for answer! bmp video recording is sufficient enough. Hatari dump to BMP is the way to go. Don't use external recorders such as Quicktime X, Snapz Pro X or ScreenFlick, they will not make a perfect framerate video like Hatari itself does. If the end goal is Youtube, I recommend running the H...

I wanted to try Drone but it crashes... If you are using Hddriver, enable "Fast ACSI" (Settings/SCSI Driver) and it should run. Drone is not super-picky on drive speed and about 500k/sec should be enough (so any SCSI from back in the day should work). We made the demo as a tribute for Ult...

The poll really need a comment field as well.

For example, I'd like to buy this device for the Falcon, if it works with 68060
I'd pay more if it supports full SCSI-speed and 1.44/2.88MB floppy.

I used 'screens pain" to generate what I think is a 320x240x256 color display. I set a new palette at $FF98000 and 256 long words forward, but it seems that I only get 16 colors on screen, not 256. Is something wrong with the setup it generated? I hacked together an example source that does st...

Hatari is often used as a development tool rather than an exact emulation of the real thing. Personally I'd welcome higher/unlimited clock frequencies and fastram, since it would enable me to test my (040++) code properly (no, aranym is no longer an alternative, because it's a lot less compatible t...

Thanks for sharing.

Are the modules available some place as well?

move.b #7,$ff8800 move.b #$38,$ff8802 This will turn tones A/B/C ON and noise OFF. You can then change volume and period for each voice. There is also I/O control on YM-reg 7, best not to set them in case something is using it (Falcon/ST-Book IDE? Or was that r14.. hum) So read out the data; lea $f...

Oh here's the new archive for both du1 and du2 files: http://files.dhs.nu/files_gfx/duo_v2.zip Thanks! Please check the website again... ;) I've attached some example DU2 images as well. Thanks, some of those medres fullscreens actually look pretty slick, much better than I had expected. I guess th...

I thought it would still have a 16 bit range but this actually works: move.w (a1,d0.l*2),(a0) d0.w*2 doesn't work. The Motorola documentation isn't quite clear on this. I have to double d0 to get the correct offset within my look up table and move the contents into the address pointed by a0. I also...

The website has been updated: support for monochrome (640 x 400) and mid-res (640 x 200) resolutions has been added. Supercool stuff, you work faster than I can manage to check :-) A couple of years ago I fiddled a little with medium resolution and fullscreen (as it had been done by Delta Force bac...

And even a tripple post? What the hell..

Managed to get a dupe post, no idea how.

Anyhow thanks a bunch for the converter, it worked fine to download it locally as well! I think it's important to have a tool which runs locally as well. So I wasn't really happy with previous version. Note to others: you only have to copy the following files to a folder on your PC (right click on ...
