I dont think the speed option in Steem works all that well though to be truthful.
I found that while the emulator may very well be faster, the screen updates were horrible.
I am using an AMD K6/2 550 though if that makes any difference?

Steem is probably the slowest ST emu but you should be able to get up to 16Mhz with that set up I would have thought.

Sicne you are the Steem authors, how about doing some things that can actually be useful to more users?
What about giving us bigger screens, and especially more colours... I think 640x480x16 is an absolute minimum for serious work, while 800x600x256 is a good target to aim for!

We have looked into this and can't find a way to do it that will work for everything, it involves poking around with TOS to try and persuade it to draw bigger screens. As for colours, there is no program that can run on an ST that can use more than 16 colours, so there isn't a great point allowing more.

Ok, so maybe you will have some compatibility issues with the ST having the 32K screen memory, but surely come on! - what about just creating an ATARI emulator rather than an ST/STE Emulator?
<<<<
Well that isn't the idea, there are plenty of emulators that are trying do that. At the moment we want to create an emulator that can run any STE program the same was as an STE would.
