Hi I'd like to tell everyone about my new Atari related site, Forgotten Creations.

Its home to many of my old STOS projects - games, mostly unfinished, that never quite saw the light of day. I hope someone enjoys reading it

If you have any half-finished projects that would otherwise get forgotten, then get in contact and we can discuss hosting them here too. Screenshots, some description, and possibly disk image / source code for download would be required.

Enjoy!

There's another new patch out there for the DemobaseST fans. This latest one (weighing in at a mere 71 megabytes!) brings your total of demo screens up to 2700!

So go visit the site and download the latest upgrade patch, sit back and just watch some of the best demos that ever graced our lovely machine!

Take me to DemoBaseST HQ!

Two weeks after releasing DCD #141, The Byte of TCE strikes back! This time he brings two new compilations. The first menu has been coded by Zorro 2, while the second intro has been coded by Bitslayer. Also issue #144 has been released for the 1st Chaotic Weekend Coding Party 2007 (!).

DCD 143 contains:
. The Data Demo (by The Hacker Crew)
. Exon Music Demo (by Exon)
. Quite Big Demo - Fingerbobs
. Mega Scrollers Demo (by Overlanders)
. Sinescroller Demo (by XXX International)
. Unihawk Demo (by T.U.H)

DCD 144 contains:
.Highres Mode Demo (by Paradox)
. No Bump Demo (Idemline)
. Megallic Demo (by I.C.E.)
. Contro (by I.C.E.)
. Gurkel Kvack Demo (by I.C.E.)

Well, you know what to do: feel free to grab both disks directly from here (click on the name of each menu). Or visit BSW DCD download page.

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.

You can download the source code and binaries (for Linux/i86 and Windows) from the official Hatari website.

Last but not least, a Windows binary has been compiled by Ecureuil. You can find it by clicking on this link.

The Byte of TCE releases a new compilation full of demos. DCD 142 features the following screens:

. Petit Suisse (by MJJ Prod)
. It makes me shake (by Spice Boys)
. Freshtro (by Paradize)
. 300 16x16 Sprite Record (by Supremacy)

As always, you can grab the disk directly from here or go to BSW website.

A smaller fix pack than usual due to the "Human Patching Macine" CJ having what seems well earned rest, but find patches for:

- Bubble Bobble
- Frontier: Elite 2
- Gobliiins 1 & Gobliins 2 (always select '5' on the protection check! Also, there are 2 versions of the loader bundled: One for ST/E/MEGA/CT6x and one for Falcon030!!)
- Knights of the sky

All are available on D-Bug website.
