News:: ARAnyM 0.9.9 Released

Posted by Webmaster on Sep 16, 2009 - 10:57 AM

From the ARAnyM website.. Even more fixes all over the place. Best of all - this ARAnyM does no longer crash due to a (now known) bug in libSDL! If previous ARAnyM has ever crashed on you please upgrade to this version and give it another try. http://aranym.org

Articles: Hatari version 1.0.1 released

Posted by lp on Apr 01, 2008 - 02:46 AM

Atari ST emulator (source code only)

What's new in this version:

* This is just a bug-fix release, without new features.
* Fixed some compile problems on non-unix-like systems (like MingW).
* Fixed crashes in Spec512 emulation code ("Dan Dare 3" and little endian ARM).
* Blitter source address is not incremented anymore in operation mode 0 and 15.
* STE small overscan video effect is now displayed on the left side instead of the right side (fixes "Just Musix 2" menu for example).
* Hatari now works on 256 color displays right again.
* Fixed PSG mirror register emulation (fixes e.g. sample sound in "Ooh Crikey Wot A Scorcher" demo).

News:: Hatari version 1.0.0 released

Posted by lp on Mar 21, 2008 - 12:58 AM

Version 1.0.0 of the Atari ST, STE, TT and Falcon emulator Hatari has been released. A lot of things have been changed this time:

- The user's configuration files are now located in the directory ~/.hatari/ instead of the $HOME directory itself.
- Improved VDI resolution mode (resolution can now be change in small steps).
- The 'Frame Skip 8' option can now be correctly selected, too.
- Fixed some bugs/problems in the GEMDOS HD emulation (with Fopen & Fcreate).
- Keyboard shortcuts for saving and restoring memory snapshots.
- Hatari can now be compiled with CeGCC, too.
- Fixed some problems with the FPU emulation. NeoN Grafix renders now right.
- Writing to floppy disk images works now also with TOS 4.0x.
- A lot of source code clean-up and beautification.
- Monochrome mode now runs in 71 Hz, and 60 Hz color mode now also really runs with 60 Hz refresh rate.
- Fixed memory snapshot files (some important data has not been saved before).
- It is now possible to automatically load/save memory snapshots at start/exit.
- Fixed some bugs in the file selection dialog.
- Some minor improvements in the GUI: Improved text edit fields, "Cancel" buttons can now be activated by pressing the ESC key, and Hatari asks the user before resetting and quitting the emulator.
- The Hatari executable is now relocatable (so the RPM can be relocated, too).
- It's now possible to enable special trace output with the "--trace" option.
- The size of the borders can now be specified in the hatari.cfg file.
- Fixed Spec512 screen plotting on big endian machines.
- Native screen conversion functions for 32 bpp host display mode.
- Reworked the command line options.
- Added missing read for "clr" in 68000 CPU mode.
- Cycle correct MULU/MULS/DIVU/DIVS in 68000 CPU mode.
- Support for 68000 instructions pairing
- Better emulation of exception stack frame (bus/address error), used in some protections.
- Don't change illegal 68000 opcodes $8, $a and $c if no cartridge is inserted.
- Ensure ACIA has consistent values when reset.
- More precise interrupt handling, allowing to mix CPU cycles and MFP cycles with greater precision.
- Various improvements in MFP emulation (stop/start timer without writing to data register, reading data register, handle pending cycles when timer "wraps" (i.e. data register reaches 0), ...). Supports programs using some very "fast" timers (Overscan Demos, ULM Demos) and requiring nearly cycle exact synchronisation with the 68000.
- Mostly correct wait states when accessing sound registers (add wait state for $ff8801/ff8803 when needed).
- Correct values of cycle counters read & write accesses for the most common cases used for fullscreen/hardscroll.
- Correct values for Video_CalculateAddress, taking into account frequency and left/right borders' state, needed for correct synchronization between video and cpu.
- Improve top/bottom border removal, including 60 Hz bottom border, as well as "short" 50 Hz screen (171 lines)
- Support for all left/right border removal, including 0 byte lines.
- Support for hardscroll on STF, including the most recent ones using 4/5 lines.
- Support for 4 pixels horizontal hardscroll on STF (ST Connexion in Punish Your Machine)
- Small adjustments in cycle precise color handling (spec512.c)

Articles: Hatari 0.95 released

Posted by GokMasE on May 13, 2007 - 03:03 PM

Hatari version 0.95 has been released. This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation! Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big problems. Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.

Other things that have been added / fixed:

Screen/Shifter emulation timings have slightly been changed. Some things now work better, some others work worse...

  • Some patches for compiling on RiscOS and AmigaOS have been included.
  • Compiling Hatari for Windows now works better.
  • Added Hatari icon (hatari-icon.bmp).
  • Fixed "movec" bug in 68020 CPU mode.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for loading & saving memory snapshots (AltGr+k & AltGr+l).
  • The built-in debugger has been slightly improved to be more user-friendly.
  • Added "hmsa" tool - a little program for converting .MSA files to .ST and vice versa.
