Name        : hatari
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 1.5.0
Release     : 1.fc16
URL         : http://hatari.berlios.de/
Summary     : An Atari ST emulator suitable for playing games
Description :
Hatari is an emulator for the Atari ST, STE, TT and Falcon computers.
More precisely, it is an adaption of the WinSTon source code to
Linux, using the UAE CPU core instead of the original, non-portable
assembler CPU core.

The Atari ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released
by Atari in 1985. Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular
computer having quite a lot of CPU power at that time.

Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a good
environment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the
hardware of a ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most
of the old ST games and demos.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

* On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using 224 bytes overscan (e.g.recent demos by DHS)

* Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)

* Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL instead of the usual 50 Hz), required for correct video/audio sync under STE (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)

* Sound improvements for STE, major rewrite of the DMA audio, precision should be really close to a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)

* Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors over successive VBL during many hours.

* By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values measured on real STF to improve digisoun (e.g. Flashback demo by TCB)

* Improvements in DSP emulation.

* Various changes in the SDL GUI

* Many more functions in the built in debugger

* Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically started after TOS boots

* Many more small fixes related to video, audio, ikbd, ..
