Mega STE connected!

Believe it or not, after 3 years of lazyness, I have made the impossible : connecting my MegaSTE :)

But what a ugly sound! I have completly forgotten that dis old harddisk make so much sound… Well have to find a way to stop it quick. I don’t think I will be able to hear this for ages. Help, a SD card!

So what? Well, I have took a look at my old code. Got some unfinished demos here.

Hummm… who knows? :)

  • Wait a few years and you will need an acoustic prosthesis to listen to your harddisk :)

  • Recently, a good friend of mine began to work on an Atari ST demo in C++. He works on his PC using Microsoft Visual C++ to write his code. Then, he uses the GCC compiler to produce Motorola 68000 code. Finally, he copies the executable code on an ST emalator (I believe he’s found a way to create a share drive between his PC and his emulator) and tests it.

    He counts on his low level knowledge of C++ to produce fast code, including heavy usage of templates. Thanks to templates, he writes low-level code for each Atari platform: ST, STE, Falcon with only few lines of platform-specific code. He claims this was impossible in the 80s and early 90s when demo makers had to write every single peace of code in assembler by hand. Optimizing assembler code for each platform was then a long and painful work.

    Anyway…

    Have you solved your Mega STE hard drive noise since 2008?

  • Well I think he is not so good in code ;) sorry for him!
