50 KHz on STF!

March 27, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image Wow, looks like Paulo Simoes can't stop to surprise us! After the patch of the Overscan demos, the unlimited sprites and the Panic demo, Paulo strikes back with an awesome demo named YM50K. This new production features a 50 KHz player for every ST machines. Indeed, it works on a simple STFM!
Paulo sent the following message:

here is something for the ST community.
It is called YM50K: some (old) mods played at 50 KHz on a common STF.
On the disk, by not booting it, a 50 KHz player can be found that should work for 95% of the MODs with an 8 MHz ST and 1 MB in colour or mono mode.


Thanks a billion time to him for this great gift. It's a very efficient improvement of the ST capacities. For emulators lovers, please use latest versions of SainT (there's still a small bug in Steem, so the tunes are played with some noise in the background).

New game search functions added

March 13, 2005 by ST Graveyard

Hello,

From now on it is possible to do screenshot and boxscan searches of your favorite ST games. These features have been added after reading some suggestion on Atari Forum.

The screenshot search allows you to generate result lists with actual screenshots of the game. Only games for which screenshots have been added in our DB will be shown in the lists. The Boxscan search works exactly the same way, but for boxscans. Press the "?" in the game section for a more detailed explanation of the search functions.

Keep in mind these features might eat up some bandwidth, depending on the search query you perform.

Enjoy it. Comments are welcome. Use the forum or drop us a line.

Busy Bee shirts hit Outline

March 5, 2005 by havoc

News illustration image The Outline organisers are making some cool party shirts, sweaters and longsleeves with the "Busy Bee" logo. These will also be sold to people who can't make it to the party. Have a look at our website for available colours and ordering info.

The couple of euros profit we might make on these shirts will be spent entirely on prizes for the various competitions at Outline (demos, games, music, graphics, etc- about 90% of which was created on/for Atari machines).

If you would like to order a specific colour, please contact us with your wishes by next thursday (9-3-05). We'll hand over the final order to the textile factory on friday before 12:00. After that, we'll still sell shirts to anyone interested, but the range of colours we can offer will decrease drastically (for obvious reasons).
