Hatari Atari Software Compatibility List

Index

Introduction

Here are lists of Atari software that have been tested with different Hatari versions and configurations. The lists concentrate mainly on software that has (historically had) problems working in Hatari or provide good regression test-cases for some specific technical emulation issues, but some well known other programs are also listed.

First is listed software (games, demos and applications) for normal STs, after them is listed STE software. Then there are a few TT-only games and demos, and finally a list of somewhat working Falcon games, demos and applications.

Technical details and any known issues in the software are described in the "Notes" column of the lists. Software having issues has different "Hatari version" column background color; orange for minor and red for major issues. The first known/tested Hatari version with which a program worked (perfectly) or with which it was last tested still to have issues, is given in the version field.

Reporting compatibility issues

If something that works on the real hardware doesn't work properly in Hatari (or something has started working in latest Hatari version) and this information is missing from these lists, please mail hatari-devel mailing list so that we can update the list.

Before reporting something not working as expected, please check few things:

ST software compatibility list

This is not a comprehensive list. By default everything that works on a real ST should work also in Hatari.

Skweek before 1.0 Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
Slayer 1.3 Uses color raster FX at highscore and main screen
Speedball before 1.0

ST demos

Some (very) rare demos try to install IKBD code. Hatari doesn't have full 6301 emulator, but has specific code to handle these particular demos. They are marked with '*'. Few remaining screen sync issues are related to hi/lo frequency switching or switching to 60 Hz for too long (used for border removal).

Tested ST demos
Demo Hatari version Notes
1984: No Cooper 1.0 Many very good plasma effects, mid res overscan, ... The loader's protection requires exact cpu/shifter sync, as well as cpu pairing
ACF: Just Buggin' 1.1 wrong FDC timings for the read sector command prevent demo from starting
Acid Team: Dragonnels* 1.1 Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. The "Unlimited Bobs" screen is very sensitive to proper IKBD timings.

If you don't have a MIDI sequencer, on Linux you can use a softsynth like Timidity or FluidSynth instead (if your distribution supports ALSA). For instructions, see midi-linux.txt file.

STE software compatibility list

By default everything should work with the STE emulation. The lists below contain nearly all the STE specific software that the developers could get their hands on...

STE games

First are some STE games that do work with the STE features in Hatari. Most of these games work only on STE, but here are also some games which work (or have a version that works) also on ST, i.e. they are just STE enhanced. These are marked with '*'.

Falcon software compatibility list

You can select between three different DSP emulation modes with the Hatari "--dsp" option:

The "dsp" column in tables below tells which DSP emulation mode needs to be used for the given program to work. If it doesn't matter, the column contains "-". The column for whether the program works and for whether it has (working) sound have "yes" when this is true and otherwise "-".

Due to missing MMU emulation, incomplete VIDEL emulation and only partially cycle accurate CPU/DSP interaction (and other possible emulation bugs), some Falcon programs don't work yet.

More Falcon demos can be found e.g. from the Atari.Org Falcon demos archive and demo tools from the dhs.nu demoscene site.

Falcon applications

Here are listed some Falcon specific applications:

Falcon applications
Title Hatari version DSP Comment
AceMidi (demo) 1.4 emu DSP generated softsynth sounds for MIDI keyboard presses don't sound very good
AceTracker 1.4 emu DSP generated softsynth sounds for key presses don't sound very good
AFM (audio fun machine) 1.4 emu
Apex (demo) 1.3 - Crashes with a "MOVE.W $fff20000,D0" instruction. It's unclear why this works on a real Falcon. The separate imageviewers work fine.
Aniplayer 1.4 emu DSP stack underflow on switching JPG images, synchronization doesn't work when DSP used with DMA transfers to play MP3
AVI 030 1.1 -
Centview 1.3 emu The included Brainstorm DSP JPEG decoder works also fine.
Chronos 3D player 1.3 - Complains about wrong resolution, requires 15-bit
Delmpaint 1.0 - Errors at exit if started in other than 256-color low rez.
Escapepaint 1.1 - Very nice
FalcAMP 1.3 emu MODs playing works fine, MP3s have no sound / complain about DSP timeout
FlaySID 1.3 emu No sound.
FlexTrax 1.3 emu No sound. Startup graphics look OK only in VGA mode.
GemPLAY 1.4 emu MOD/SND/XMS formats sound fine, AM/AON/GT2 formats sound bad. Fileselector dir selection doesn't work for the latest 1.92 version
Godpaint 1.0 -
Indypaint 1.0 - Errors at exit if started in other than HiColor mode.
MP2 player 1.4 emu Sound is just noise (also in all demos using this code)
Rainbow II multimedia 1.4 - Bombs immediately at startup (MMU is not emulated yet in hatari)
Whip 1.4 emu Effects are working
WinRec 1.4 emu Direct-to-disk recording with DSP sound effects processing

TT/Falcon utilities

Here are some utilities that either have specific TT and/or Falcon support or work only on them.

TT/Falcon utilities
Utility Hatari version Notes
Calamus SL (1991 demo) 1.0 Nice with Hatari TT or 32Mhz Falcon emulation at e.g. 1024x768x1 VDI resolution... The latest Calamus SL2006 Lite edition doesn't work though, it needs at least 32MB RAM
FreeMiNT 1.2 Needs to be installed/booted from an ACSI or IDE HD image and memory protection needs to be disabled (Hatari UAE core doesn't emulate MMU)
Cecile 1.2 Hard disk driver. In Hatari works only with IDE emulation. Supports only TT and Falcon
HD Driver 1.4 Hard disk driver. In Hatari works only with IDE emulation. Doesn't work with EmuTOS. With TOS v4, CPU needs to be set to EC030 or better, with TOS v3 works also with 020 CPU (used by earlier Hatari versions for TOS >= v3)
