Name        : hatari
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 1.6.0
Release     : 1.fc16

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:

* More accurate FDC emulation (correct status bits and commands' timings, DMA transfer by blocks of 16 bytes, floppy change detection). This should fix a lot of non working games, as well as a few demos
* More accurate microwire clock emulation
* SCSI class 1 (ICD) command support for drives > 1 GB
* Improve shifter (add another method to do 4 pixel hardware scrolling, better emulation for 0 byte blank line)
* Some fixes to the IKBD emulation
* Better filters and model for sound emulation
* Correct VBL timings in TT monochrome (double clicking works now)
* More cycle accurate Falcon DSP <-> CPU emulation. All the demos that needed 32Mhz CPU with the old CPU core in Hatari v1.5, work now at correct 16Mhz with the WinUAE CPU core
* 030 MMU emulation with the WinUAE CPU core
* Debugger improvements : "history" command to list instructions executed before entering debugger
* Fixed behavior of the Caps Lock key
