(emulators) WinSTon is alive! | |
Stew succeeded to WinSTon after the advertisement the last year of the stop of the emulator created by Paul Bates. Today Darren Birks gives up Stew. In fact, both authors (Darren & Paul) have joined their efforts to release a new version of WinSTon, still one of the most popular Atari ST emulator. It seems to be really interesting for demos and megademos. The date of availability is planned but it's a surprise (not a fake, soon anyway). WinSTon v0.6 will include: - Blitter Chip - DMA Sound - Sync Protection - ST/STE emulation (switchable in configurations) - 4096 colors support - both DIM format support (All Sectors and Used Sectors) |

Grazey from the PHF is working on a mysterious project and mentioned the name of Jess from the famous french crew OVeRlanders. No screenshot is available but it's certainly not a fake... Just wait and see. |

(demos) About Industrially Safe Demo Disk #31 | |
Between 1994 and 1996 The crew Effect created many ST compilation disks called "Industrially Safe Demo Disk". 33 issues have been achieved (1-30 and 32-34), but the #31 has never been realized. Since a few mounths Tronic (Effect) has decided to remedy this miss. The issue #31 is in production now. Tronic (Effect) & The Berserker (Teenage) are coding it, while MC Laser (TSCC) is composing the music. No set date is planned. "All gfx, music and code are being produced as they need it - so it takes time." |

(emulators) The next version of Steem is coming soon | |
The next release of Steem might be on anytime this week. According to Russell (co-author of the emulator), more games will be emulated. It includes Amberstar, Rodland, Overlander and Leavin' Teramis. The authors also hope to increase the sound emulation and add proper hardware-level RS-232 serial port emulation, an option never seen before. After the release of this version, they will work on the internet play (yes, really great!) and will increase the emulation speed. If lucky they hope to halve the PC CPU time used for the ST CPU. And last but no least, they plan to increase the sync-scrolling emulation and the STE compatibilty. |

(emulators) About SainT... | |
No real news about SainT, but the project is not discontinued in spite of some people who think it is. Jim has already redone the GUI of SainT and integrated new routines for better STE sound emulation (written by Arnaud). No date release is planned, but Jim is working on the next release, that's not a fake information! |

(demos) UMD 8730 in august | |
That's certainly the biggest sound project ever made on ST. This megademo created by Grazey and Cal (two members of the PHF crew) will include more than 4000 tunes! UMD8730 is almost finish, it will be probably avalaible early august. The intro will feature the longest chip music ever: 20 minutes of bliss composed by... guess who! |
