The emulator supports the following machine series:
Atari ST or STF
: the first 32bits Ataris released in 1985, based on Motorola 68000 CPUs.Atari MegaST
: professional version of the ST in pizza box, offering 1 to 4Mb of ram.Atari STE
: second series from 1989 with better sound, more color and a graphics chip that was missing: the blitter!Atari MegaSTE
: professional version of the STE with more RAM and a more powerful CPU at 16Mhz.Atari TT
: released in 1990, the TT is based on a 68030 at 32Mhz.Falcon
: the last born of the family, the Falcon will offer CPUs from 68030 to 68060. Real little jewels of technology for the time, their reign will end 1 year after their release.The vast majority of games will run on a basic 520 ST, but some will require an STE, or will run better on an STE.
We will find very few games for the TT, which is rather reserved for professionals. Especially since the TT is the least retro-compatible series.
For the falcon, very few games have been released. The ones you can find are usually in zip files, in native format. For those who know and are interested, you can copy the zip files to share/roms/atarist
and convert them to a floppy image using the script /usr/share/hatari/zip2st.sh
(SSH connection required).
Recalbox allows an auto-configuration of the model, when launching a game, by recognizing some keywords in the game file name or in your directory:
Template | Keywords |
---|---|
Atari ST | atari-st |
Atari STE | atariste , atari-ste |
Atari Mega-ST | atarimegast , atari-megast , atari-mega-st , megast , mega-st |
Atari Mega-STE | atarimegast , atari-megast , atari-mega-ste , megast , mega-ste |
Atari TT | ataritt , atari-tt |
Falcon | falcon , atari-falcon |
Keywords are not case sensitive, they can contain lowercase/uppercase letters.
For example:
share/roms/atarist/Grand Prix 500cc (1987)(Microids)(en)(atari-ste).zip
will launch the emulator in STE mode.share/roms/atarist/Grand Prix 500cc (1987)(Microids)(en) [falcon].zip
will launch the emulator in Falcon mode.These keywords can also be part of, or a subdirectory of:
share/roms/atarist/Atari-STE/Rick Dangerous (1989)(Core - Firebird).zip
will launch the game in STE modeshare/roms/atarist/Atari-TT/Rick Dangerous (1989)(Core - Firebird).zip
will launch it in Atari TT modeIn the case of subdirectories, 3 directories are recognized in addition to the keywords (st
, ste
and tt
):
share/roms/atarist/st/Blues Brothers, The (Europe).zip
will force the game on an Atari STFshare/roms/atarist/STe/Blues Brothers, The (Europe).zip
will force an Atari STEshare/roms/atarist/TT/Blues Brothers, The (Europe).zip
will force an Atari TTFilename | Description | MD5 | Provided |
