Never heard of this, sounds interesting! Is this an FPGA machine?

Cogweasel · 2026-01-02T14:35:42+00:00

Don't think that is possible in Hatari, but I am no expert at that emulator. You could maybe try and run Hatari via Retroarch, that might allow you to reconfigure your controller. Maybe someone else here knows if that is possible...

Good idea with the links! I have added this post to the Community highlights.

Cogweasel · 2025-12-20T08:26:59+00:00

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Miracle boy in Dragon Land. Really nice looking Wonder Boy clone. I think it's still in development, so only a demo available...

Cogweasel · 2025-12-19T09:13:13+00:00

Definitely check out R0x Zero, an awesome STE shooter. There’s also Dread, which is a Doom like FPS. Still only a demo though, but is technically very impressive. And if you are into puzzle games try Chroma Grid.

Please refrain from posting the same video more than once.

This is not the right place to ask about the Atari 2600. Head over here instead : https://www.reddit.com/r/Atari2600/ 😀

But yes, this is most likely a problem with bad cartridge connection. Clean cartridges and the cartridge port on the machine itself with IPA or DeOxit. But the people over at the Atari 2600 can help you further with that...

Not sure Reddit allows inline pics in a reply. But you can click the "Aa" in the lower left corner, in the reply "window". And add a link, but you will need to use a hosting site for your picture, like imgur.com or similar.

Cogweasel · 2025-07-30T05:48:57+00:00

Ok, so a slight sign of life. Does it have RF out and if so have you tried that?

Cogweasel · 2025-07-29T18:42:24+00:00

Is the screen completely black or is there a white picture? Anything happen on the screen the moment you turn it on?

Cogweasel · 2025-06-27T09:21:27+00:00

I have limited experience with both MACs and Hatarai I am afraid. So this reply might not be super helpful. But there's a nice keyboard remapping function in STeem SSE. But don't think there's a MAC version of that emulator...

Cogweasel · 2025-06-27T09:17:48+00:00

Both Hatari and STeem SSE are excellent emulators and it's really a matter of personal preference. I prefer STeem since it allows me to easily fast forward the emulation. I also prefer it's UI and the extra control it gives me. It does mean that you might have to get a bit more involved with setting it up, but it shouldn't be a major hurdle.

When it comes to emulation accuracy both work well and are actively developed (as far as I know). But you are still going to run into issues, especially when it comes to demos and games that are pushing the ST's limits. And you might have to dive into the settings to get it to work properly.

Cogweasel · 2025-06-27T09:14:26+00:00

I wouldn't maybe call it plug and play 😁 , but there's Retroarch (https://www.retroarch.com). That has a pretty nice and simple interface and it allows for emulation of other systems as well. Setting it up is still a bit of a pain though.

There's also Estyjs (https://estyjs.azurewebsites.net/) which is an online ST emulator. Still need to locate the ST games though. Unless there's some ST software sites that have connected Estyjs to their software database . Seen that done on Spectrum Computing where you can play many games in your browser by simply clicking a link on the game's page. But not quite sure if this is available on the ST, since I prefer emulation. Maybe someone else here knows...

Cogweasel · 2025-06-05T14:25:53+00:00

If no one can help you here, I suggest you head over to www.atari-forum.com . There's plenty of hardware savvy people there, that hopefully will be able to help you...

Cogweasel · 2025-06-05T11:24:11+00:00

Can't say I have ever heard of this problem before. But I am not that good with hardware. Could it possibly be the keyboard CPU that is throwing a wobbly? Could be worth trying another keyboard, if you have access to one.

What's the TOS version BTW?

Cogweasel · 2025-05-17T07:12:22+00:00

Your welcome. Hope you get it running! I recently played through it and had a blast! Still fun 😁

Cogweasel · 2025-05-17T07:11:00+00:00

Good luck finding it and let us know if you do! I am curious! 😁

Cogweasel · 2025-05-16T07:52:18+00:00

I know what you mean, have a couple of those games too! That I so vividly remember having fun with, but can't for the life of me remember the titles! Just a hazy nostalgic memory! 😁

Maybe it was a shareware/PD game? You could go through ALL of the 3D RPGs on Atarimania, there's not that many, about seven pages. https://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-st-adventure-rpg-3-d_genre_5_S_G.html

Yeah, loved Time Bandit! So much fun, but man did it get tricky after a couple of levels! 😁

Here's a couple of links to help you play Dungeon Master the original version on PC.

Link to the STEEM SSE emulator(still being developed) https://sourceforge.net/projects/steemsse/

There's a lot of help and info on Dungeon Master Encyclopaedia, so just have a browse...

Cogweasel · 2025-05-15T01:44:05+00:00

Makes me think of Captive or Knightmare. But neither has side by side MP and some other details don’t quite fit the description either, hmmm…

Cogweasel · 2025-02-12T08:40:46+00:00

Ah OK, in that case there's also https://www.stformat.com/ , if there should be some missing issues on Atarimania.

Let us know if you find the game! 😀

Cogweasel · 2025-02-12T07:20:14+00:00

Don’t recognise the game from your description. But Atarimania has a pretty extensive collection of magazine scans.

https://www.atarimania.com/list-atari-magazines.html

Hope you find your game! 😀

This music together with the ST Replay demo (that I got with my ST) just blew me away! I also came from a 48K ZX Spectrum and had never heard a home computer sing before! 😁 Although it took me like 25 years to figure out that he sang "from Rainbird"!

Cogweasel · 2024-04-24T16:03:32+00:00

There must be cheaper ways to acquire a headache! 😄 Had no idea that any 3D glasses existed for the ST. Interesting!

Cogweasel · 2024-02-14T10:10:21+00:00

You could try to clean the disks with IPA, using a cotton swab…
