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.

Game Hatari version Notes
Alien World before 1.0  
Armalyte before 1.0  
Bubble Bobble before 1.0  
Defenders Of The Earth before 1.0  
Eliminator before 1.0  
Exterminator 1.2 The "Patch Timer-D" option must be disabled to avoid color raster problems
Enchanted Land 1.3 This game uses heavily sync-scrolling techniques!
F15 Strike Eagle 2 1.3  
Jaguar XJ220 (development demo) 1.2 Only loads correctly when "Slow floppy" option is enabled
Leisure Suit Larry 2 before 1.0 Everything works, even Roland-MT32 MIDI music
Leander before 1.0  
Lethal Xcess 1.0 Uses sync-scrolling in ST mode and STE HW scrolling in STE mode.
Metal Mutant 1.0  
Navy Seals before 1.0  
Nebulus 1.1 Disappearing platform tiles sound dodgy
No Buddies Land 1.3 Uses "0-byte" vertical sync-scrolling
Robocop II 1.1  
Pirates! before 1.0 Game also supports MIDI music
R.B.I. Baseball 2 1.6 On STE, the game will play sounds with the DMA audio, but with a different freq than the STF mode (6258 vs 7675 Hz). On STF, the sound fx don't sound correct because of that, but that's not an emulation bug
Rick Dangerous before 1.0  
Running Man 1.6 When running on Hatari versions before 1.6, the RS232 emulation must be enabled for the game to work (since it writes some debug informations to the serial port)
Seven Gates Of Jambala 1.3 Uses a very rare mode for timer B to count start of line. Disable the "Patch Timer-D" option to avoid color raster problems.
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  
Star Goose 1.1  
Subbuteo 1.1 Because of incorrect 68000 prefech for the 'ADD' opcode, the protection will not pass
Super Hang-On 1.4 Minor screen color sync issues
Super Monaco GP 1.6 Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation
Super Sprint 1.3 The "Patch Timer-D" must be disabled or the music will play too fast
Super Skweek 1.3 Enable the "Slow floppy" option if your version fails to load
The Deep 1.1 When running on Hatari versions before 1.6, the RS232 emulation must be enabled for the game to work (since it writes some debug informations to the serial port)
Toki before 1.0  
Treasure Trap 1.1 When running on Hatari versions before 1.6, the RS232 emulation must be enabled for the game to work (since it writes some debug informations to the serial port)
Wings Of Death 1.0 works in STE mode too
Xenon 1.1  
Xenon 2 - Megablast before 1.0  
Yolanda 1.6 This game expects random data from the TOS memory test in low RAM, so the emulator has to be started with "fast boot" disabled or the game will freeze after some few seconds

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' 1.6 Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation
Acid Team: Dragonnels* 1.1 Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. The "Unlimited Bobs" screen is very sensitive to proper IKBD timings.
Aggression: Overdose before 1.0 Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
BushWacKers: Transbeauce II* 1.1 Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. Does not work with HD emulation.
Chaos: Pandemonium 1.5 The Mega-3D screen exits prematuraly (crash due to a cpu timing problem ?)
Checkpoint: Posh before 1.0  
Checkpoint: Suretrip 49% 1.2  
Delta Force: Punish Your Machine 1.5 Sync-scroll, overscan... ST Connexion's screen features 4 pixels hardware scrolling on STF. "Best Part Of The Creation" uses spec512 mode in med res
Delta Force: Syntax Terror 1.3 Planes are shifted in TCB screen (missing stabilizer). Tex screen works since 1.3 (mixes 50/60 HZ lines)
DHS: Sweety before 1.0 Does not work with HD emulation
Diamond Design: Brace 1.5 Use spec512 mode in med res in the mixed low/med res horizontal scrolltext
Dune: Illusion 1.0 Very nice demo. Some rasters are sometimes flickering, this is a bug in the demo, not in Hatari. Using --fastfdc can cause problems with some parts of this demo
Dune/Sector One: Fantasia before 1.0  
Dune/Sector One: Odd Stuff before 1.0 In STF mode, some screens tries to simulate more colors by changing the palette on each VBL, which creates an unpleasant flickering effect (this is not a bug in Hatari). Use STE mode for better results
Equinox: Virtual Escape before 1.0  
Equinox: Vodka Demo 1.6.1 The 'Kill The Beast 2' part requires Hatari 1.6.1 to work
Fraggle's: Bird Mad Girl Show 1.5  
Futur Minds: Snork 1.5 DNT screen 1 is mixing low/med res on the same line, which is not supported by Hatari at the moment
Lynx: BBS Intro 3 1.5 Good 3D (voluntarily uses some address errors in the 3D routines)
MJJ Prod: Anomaly 1.1 Main menu gets out of sync when playing digidrums
Next: Phaleon Giga Demo 1.0 4 disks. Some overscan screens have small sync issues (in Future Minds screen, planes are shifted in the lower part)
Omega: Omega 1.3 In full overscan screen, planes are shifted due to missing hi/lo stabilizer
Omega: RGB Plasma 1.5 Boot sector doesn't match the physical disk layout, which caused bus error in Hatari < 1.5
Overlanders: European Demos 1.1 Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation
Overlanders: Gen4 Demo 1.5 Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Uses illegal/address error exceptions to decode the program
Overlanders: Ventura 1.1 In Ultimate Dist screen planes are shifted in the upper logo
Oxygene: Flip-o-demo before 1.0  
Oxygene: ST-NICCC 2000 Demo 1.6 Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation
Paulo Simoes (ljkb): The Overscan Demos 1.0 All demos are running in overscan, including some spectrum 512 pictures.
Paulo Simoes (ljkb): shforstv 1.3 Small technical demo posted on www.atari-forum.com. It features the most advanced hardscroll on STF, using only 4 raster lines and all possible borders's removal (including 162 bytes 50 Hz line).
Phalanx: Overdrive 1.1 In Dragon screen planes are shifted in the upper part
Reservoir Gods: Hallucinations before 1.0  
Sector One: Oh no!! More Froggies 1.0 Demo doesn't support SID sound with timers during the overscan parts, so it stops music (it's not a bug).
ST Connexion/Overlanders/Legacy: Froggies over the Fence* 1.1 Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine
The CareBears: SoWatt 1.0 Sync-scroll, overscan...
The CareBears: Swedish New Year 1.3 Fullscreen in the first TCB screen is mixing 50/60 HZ lines

Midi setup

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 '*'.

Tested STE games

Tested STE demos
Demo Hatari version Notes
Aggression: Armada is dead 1.0  
Aggression: Braindamage 1.3  
Aggression: RGBeast 1.3 Overscan + blitter. Doesn't look right
Anatomica: Extreme Rage 1.1 Bad blitter timings cause timer B to occur at wrong time
Atari scene collective: 20 years* 1.1 You may need to reset between screens
Brainless Institute: Bad Taste 1.4 Demo crashes during the vector balls at the beginning. This is due to the blitter overwriting some code (due to a bug in the sprite routine) but the reason why it happens only under Hatari was not found yet
Cream: Madness 1.2 Music demo with Amiga Paula soundchip emulation + tunes
Defence Force: Save The Eearth 1.5 Right border switches, blitter, extended palette, HW scrolling/screen splitting, DMA music + microwire/lmc control.
DHS: Cernit Trandafir 1.5  
DHS: Just Musix 2 1.0  
DHS: More or Less Zero 1.5  
DHS: Tyranny & Massacre before 1.0

GGN: The Sierpinski overdose 4K 1.0 Uses blitter, requires med-rez
ICE: Ecstacy A before 1.0  
ICE: Jam-Cols 1.4 Changes background color using blitter
ICE: Kryos & Intruding 1.1 Planes are shifted
ICE: Space Tale 1.4 In the part with 3 horizontal scrolltexts, bottom border is not removed due to bad blitter timing
ICE: The Wave Of The Future 1.4 Top border is not correctly removing (maybe a wrong 4 cycles timing for VBL on STE)
Imagina: Xmas demo 92 before 1.0 Flickers without frameskip
Imagina: Systematic error 1.4
Light: E605 before 1.0  
Light: Power Rise 1.1

MJJ-Prod: Tribute to Rainbow TOS 1.1  
M.C.S: Delirious 4 1.6 Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation and for some of the overscan screens. In 3 demos, the STE is not correctly detected. Contrary to what may be indicated, this demo is bugged and only runs on STE, even if most screens are STF only !
New Core: Beyond Deadline before 1.0  
New Core: Coreflakes 1.1  
Next: Illusion 1.2 Part of the Phaleon Gigademo
N.L.C: Techno Drugs before 1.0

Reservoir Gods: Grimey before 1.0  
Sedma: Blitter Mania 1.1  
Syntax: Reanimation before 1.0  
T. Barker: Fantasia before 1.0 For any other than TOS 1.06, you need to use fantfix.prg first
The Pixels Twins: Mental Hangover 1.5 Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Real Time Clock should also be disabled to prevent a bug in the boot sector's loader (depends on the TOS version used). Sound requires Hatari >= 1.5 to work (the routines write in the sample buffer while it's played by the dma)
Unit 17: Dynamite 1.2  
Unit 17: E.P.S.S. Demo 1.4 Video counter is modified while display is ON
Ym-Rockerz: Tyme Warp 1.5 The demo tries to detect/restore $ff8e21 (cpu control on Mega STE) in a way that is not supported by current bus error handling

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 incomplete VIDEL emulation and some remaining emulation cycle accuracies, some Falcon programs don't work yet. Note: more timing critical demos (for example ones using NoCrew's DSP MP2-player) that are marked as working in the list below, work only with the experimental WinUAE core. Please see Hatari readme.txt on how to enable that.

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 1.5 emu NoCrew MP2 sound player
Rainbow II multimedia 1.5 emu Works only with the new winuae CPU core. With old cpu core, bombs immediately at startup (MMU not emulated in old cpu)
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)
