What a month this has been for superb information! With video games which were the discuss of the group, corresponding to Ghosts’n’Goblins AGA, Frogger RX, OutRun Arcade , RallyXSE and Donkey Kong Arcade. Effectively here is one other recreation that’s positive to excite, is the upcoming Arcade like model of ‘Defender’ For the Atari ST by Sark02. A piece-in-progress port of the 6809E Williams Defender sources working at an excellent slick 50hz. To coincide with this information, in case you love Defender again within the day, then be sure to test it out under with corresponding footage! 

And here is the most recent. “Here is a work-in-progress port of the 6809E Williams Defender sources from the HistoricalSource repo on github https://github.com/Historicalsource/Defender, to the Atari ST, working at 50Hz and requiring a minimum of 1MB RAM. The algorithms and recreation play are by Eugene Jarvis, Sam Dicker, et al.. If it looks like Defender, then that is due to them. If it does not, then that is due to me. Work-In-Progress. At the moment applied unhealthy guys are Landers, Mutants, and UFOs. On the finish of a recreation, the sport restarts. No appeal to mode or high-score desk but”.

Additional Notes : Supporting DMA samples on STEs with 2MB+ of RAM, or YM2149 samples on STEs and STs with 1MB RAM. STEs with DMA sound could have a lot much less chop when the display will get busy. A lot of the STE samples are 12.5kHz. A number of, the place I may hear a distinction, are 25kHz, however not all as that blew past 2MB.
