Hi people,
I enjoy the ST-emulation-scene at lot. It's fun to see new versions of the emulators every month. But somehow I wonder why the guys of the Atari-Scene don't stick together and put their energy in ONE _ultimate_ emulator, such as the people on Amiga do with their UAE.
All emulators I see are good in showing graphics, playing games and emulating GEM. But when it comes e.g. to sound - I mean: new soundchip-music, that is played in nowadays scene, such as SidSoundDesigner or TAO Syncbuzzer -, they don't stand the test.
I am a bit afraid that the coders program on their emulators for 1 or 1 1/2 years, then give up due to the lack of motivation or hacking or whatelse, whilst the sound- or demo-fx emulation (syncscrolling, fullscreen) is not done.
Wouldn't it be better if the highly qualified makers of STEEM and STEW (maybe even of ECHO, if it's still alive or SainT, if it will ever be released) form a union and code the emulator, that beats all the rest that's available up to now? Isn't it a waste of resources to code several emulators of the same computer? Could not one code the system-part while the other one codes sound- and graphics-system?
Ciao,
