Version 2.3.1, December 2020
This list has been written by: Thomas Huth, Eero Tamminen & Nicolas Pomarède
Hatari on the WWW: http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/
Here are lists of Atari software that have been tested with different Hatari versions and configurations.
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.
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:
Note that some demos and games (especially floppy-only ones done with STOS), don't work with the free EmuTOS ROM. To make sure they have enough RAM available, you should use the most appropriate EmuTOS version: 192K one for ST, 256K one for STE, and 512K one (included with the Hatari binary downloads as it has widest HW support) for TT/Falcon games and demos. For more information, see emutos.txt.
Also note that since Hatari 1.8, support is included also for STX, IPF and CTR floppy image formats. They allow storing disk contents in an unaltered form, without requiring a crack to remove the copy-protection. Some complex protections rely on precise CPU/FDC timings provided with these formats, and a specific TOS version.
(More information on games compatibility on Atari forum.)
These aren't comprehensive lists. 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.
By default everything that works on a real ST should work also in Hatari.

| 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 | |
| Robocop II | 1.1 | |
| 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 information to the serial port) |

| Warlock's Quest | 1.7 | The game has some IKBD bugs, it doesn't work with TOS 1.04, but works fine with TOS 1.02 or 1.62. The keyboard mode is also less responsive than the joystick mode, but that's the same on a real ST |
| 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 a few seconds |
| Zombi | 1.6.2 | Uses the IKBD set-clock command to set a custom time for game-internal time measurement |
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).
| 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 |
| Big Alec: Audio Artistic Demo | 1.7 | |
| BushWacKers: Transbeauce II* | 1.1 | Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine. Does not work with HD emulation. Due to a bug in the demo when detecting RAM size, it will crash in STF mode when using more than 1 MB (because MMU is forced to 512 KB) |
| 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% | 2.0 | Requires Hatari ≥ 2.0 to work, else the fullscreen tunnel part will crash after a few seconds (due to complex VBL/HBL exception timing) |
| Dead Braincells: Monoscreen | 1.9 | (Partial) monochrome overscan isn't supported by Hatari. Demo requires manual monitor timings adjustments to work (which may be SM124 specific) |
| 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 |
| Eagles / EKO / Impact: Place To Be Again | devel | Although the demo should work in STF mode, the colors will be wrong in the Menu part, unless you use STE mode (this is a bug in the demo which disables timer B when enabling timer A to play samples) |
| 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. Also due to a bug in the demo loader that forces MMU to 512 KB, the demo will crash in STF mode with more than 1MB RAM (even on a real STF) |
| 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 |
| Inner Circle: Decade Demo | 1.7 | Very good demo. Reset part requires Hatari ≥ 1.7 to avoid flickering bottom border |
| Lynx: BBS Intro 3 | 1.5 | Good 3D (voluntarily uses some address errors in the 3D routines) |
| M.C.S: Delirious Demos IV | 1.6 | Requires at least Hatari 1.6 for correct FDC emulation and for some of the overscan screens. Some screens are not working or not correctly emulated yet (Vodka, Fulltrax, Tekila, La Miga Demo) |
| MJJ Prod: Anomaly | 1.7 | Requires Hatari ≥ 1.7 to avoid glitches in the main menu 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) |
| Offbeat: The Musical Wonders 1990 | 1.7 | This demo requires STE mode. With STF mode, bottom border is not correctly removed (this is the same on a real STF) |
| 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 | 1.7 | Due to a bug in the FDC's emulation, the demo ran slower than expected with Hatari < 1.7 |
| 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 |
| PHF: UMD 8730 | 1.8 | The Ultimate Music Disc for Atari. This demo doesn't work in STF mode with Hatari < 1.8, due to the non standard fading colors routine used at the start of the demo |
| Reservoir Gods: Hallucinations | before 1.0 | |
| Sector One: Oh no!! More Froggies | 1.0 | Works only with <4MB of RAM. It doesn't support SID sound with timers during the overscan parts, so it stops music (it is not a bug). |
| ST Connexion/Overlanders/Legacy: Froggies over the Fence* | 1.1 | Uses its own IKBD 6301 routine |
| Sync: The LoSTE screens | 2.0 | Uses 2 cycle precision to create 0 byte lines on STF/STE and requires wakeup states emulation for STF |
| Sync: {Closure} | 2.0 | Very technical demo requiring accurate emulation of many items : 2 cycle precision, wakeup states emulation for STF, new overscan line with no stabiliser on the right. A real benchmark for emulators ! |
| 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 |
| The Exceptions: B.I.G. Demo | 1.0 | |
| The Lost Boys: Mindbomb | 1.3 | "DI No Shit" is mixing 50/60 Hz lines. Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation |
| The Marvellous V8: V8 Music System | 1.1 | The keyboard detection at the beginning is buggy and it is sometimes necessary to retry several times (this is the same on a real STF) |
| The Syndicate: If Pigs Could Fly | before 1.0 | |
| The Union: The Union Demo | 1.8 | One of the most famous ST demos. Does not work with cartridge / HD emulation. Although it works on real ST with 512 kB of RAM, current emulation requires to use ≥ 1MB RAM |
| TNT Crew: Death of the left border | 2.0 | Planes are shifted, but Hatari ≥ 2.0 includes a temporary fix for this |
| TOS Crew: 4-pixel plasma screen | 1.8 | This demo features some 4 pixels color changes on STF, instead of the usual 8 pixels minimum width |
| Unlimited Matricks: Dark Side Of The Spoon | 1.0 | Lots of fullscreens and sync-scrolling |
| X-Troll: Long Screen | before 1.0 | |
| Ym Rockerz: Popstars | before 1.0 |
Note that some applications can even crash at startup if their configuration or data files are not writable.

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 the midi-linux.txt file.
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...
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 '*' (for more info, see here).

Finally some STE only or STE enhanced applications.
| Application | Hatari version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hextracker (0.849b) | 2.0 | Uses non-standard mouse event scaling factor. Mouse cannot (vertically) traverse whole Hatari window unless mouse grab or fullscreen mode is used |

| Protracker STE | 1.4 | Opens bottom border, 50kHz DMA replay |
| Stretch | before 1.0 | Screen extender (like the famous Bigscreen). One of the few programs which uses STE hardware scrolling also in monochrome mode |
Most programs that work on TT work also in the Falcon emulation. As all 1-8 bit GEM programs work without problems under TT emulation this section lists only programs that have TT-specific features.
| Program | Hatari version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Capy | 2.0 | VGA/TT-medium only. Some version(s) bus error due to DSP register check (although they should support TT with chip music) |
| CrY image viewer | 2.2 | Needs at least some TT-RAM. interlaced 16bpp CrY mode flickers badly + colors are wrong (by tSCc) |
| M_PLAYER | 2.3 | Movie player and creator. v4.02 added TT microwire support for audio. Whether M_PLAYER actually uses sound, depends on there being enough RAM for it to cache video audio |
| Milanopoly | 1.0 | GEM monopoly |
| OpenTTD | 1.9 | "hatari-prg-args --tos-res ttlow --machine tt --tos etos512k.img -s 4 --ttram 256 --addr24 off -- ./openttd-m68020.gtp -m null -s null -b 8bpp-optimized", then select "original" as "Land generator" at game start. Game startup takes minutes with nothing happening on screen. Works also on Falcons with FPU and no DSP, as long as it's started from 256-color resolution |
| Oxyd 2 TT | before 1.0 | Oxyd 2 in color |
| PM Doom, Heretic and Hexen | 1.0 | Heretic v0.24 is playable, Doom and Hexen v0.55 are very slow |

| Demo | Hatari version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Brainstorm: Adebug 3DTT demo | 1.2 | (Works also on Falcon) |
| Daroou: Daroou's GEM Demos | 2.0 | Need TT-low mode. Work also on Falcon (with music). Boing demo bus errors on startup on both |
| gwEm: 4getful | 2.1 | TT-version of gwEm's 4K demo |
| Moving Pixels: TT-Wars | before 1.0 | |
| Omega: Swing, Vinjett, Xitkul | 1.2 | TT demos included to XiTEC presentation. Xitkul colors flicker |
| tSCc: 256mbrot, Bragg256, Glasstro, Orion-B, Yabt | 1.8 | TT/Falcon intros, Bragg256 requires WinUAE CPU core |
| tSCc: Beams | 2.1 | TT-version. At least 8MB RAM |
| tSCc: TC fish / blobs | 2.2 | Flickers badly |

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 "-".
Note that because EmuTOS (tos.img included with the Hatari binary downloads) doesn't yet support OS calls for controlling the DSP, none of the programs using DSP work with it, they need a real Falcon TOS v4.x.
If something works only with either WinUAE or oldUAE CPU core, that may be documented, but mostly things are tested only with the (default) WinUAE CPU core. It's the only one supporting MMU and many timing critical demos (for example ones using NoCrew's DSP MP2-player) work only with it.
Only few Falcon programs require MMU emulation to be enabled to work. Unless otherwise indicated, programs work with MMU emulation disabled.
Due to incomplete VIDEL emulation, missing JagPad support and some remaining emulation cycle accuracy issues, some Falcon programs aren't usable yet. Most games and demos work with RGB monitor, those requiring VGA one are indicated separately.
| Title | Hatari version | Sound | DSP | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aazohm Krypth | 1.3 | - | emu | Use joypad. 8MB RAM. Black screen without DSP emu. Auto-starting works from Hatari v2.1 onward |
| Aces High preview | 1.3 | - | - | |
| Addsub | 2.3 | - | - | Cannot be played. Exits when joystick up direction is used, often also on second startup |
| Ausbruch | 1.0 | yes | - | Use STE joypad. Background music if DSP emu enabled |
| Bad Mood (v0.37 from 2017) | 2.3.1 | yes | emu | Enhanced Doom I/II port and engine rewrite. Game requires WinUAE CPU core, DSP and 14 MB RAM. WAD cache creation crashes/freezes, so one needs to get pre-built WAD cache. Statusbar doesn't show due to Videl emulation omissions (in earlier versions "--natfeats yes" could be used to tell game to use heavier Hatari specific statusbar drawing mode). Game uses MMU if it's available, but doesn't work yet with Hatari 030 MMU emulation. Some parts have clear speed differences to real Falcon due to CPU, FPU (instruction too fast) and Videl emulation (screen updated only at VBL) inaccuracies |
| Bad Mood (90's demo) |
2.3.1 | - | emu | Old Doom level viewer. All tested versions (v2.14a, v307a) work with Doom1 WAD. Heretic shareware WAD looks fine with older 2.14a version (as long as one isn't inside a wall), and completely broken with v3.07a. v3.07a (bm307.ttp) doesn't work with MMU |

More Falcon demos can be found e.g. from the Atari.Org Falcon demos archive and demo tools from the dhs.nu demoscene site.
Falcon demos that are documented to be for a 060 CPU. Issue with some of them is them relying on CT TOS and its emulation for the missing 060 CPU and FPU instructions. Hatari doesn't support CT TOS ROMs (as it would require emulating additional hardware of the CT60, or patching out that HW support, and there being too many ROM versions for latter to be feasible).
| Title | Hatari version | Sound | DSP | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lamers: Lamer than Lamers | 2.3 | yes | - | Works with 030 + 32MB TT-RAM + FPU, but freezes during demo title if 060 used. Music if DSP enabled. Lower part of "THE END" has garbage |
| Lamers: F22.0 | 2.3 | yes | - | Stops while loading assets. 060 + 64MB TT-RAM + FPU: --machine falcon --dsp none --cpulevel 6 --fpu internal --sound off --fast-forward yes --addr24 off --ttram 64 -s 4 |
| MadWizards: Kioea | 2.0 | "yes" | - | 060 + 14MB + 64MB TT-RAM + FPU. Startup takes over 10 minutes and demo is also otherwise so slow that it is better to disable sound and DSP to speed up fast forwarding: --machine falcon --dsp none --cpulevel 6 --cpuclock 32 --fpu internal --sound off --fast-forward yes --addr24 off --ttram 64 -s 14 |
| Orion_: We Reached Stars | 2.3 | yes | - | Music with DSP. Requires 060 + 32Mhz + 16 MB TT ram: --fast-boot on --machine falcon --dsp none --mmu off --cpulevel 6 --cpuclock 32 --fpu internal -s 4 --addr24 off --ttram 16 --sound off |
| TBL: Ocean Machine, Rift, Silkcut, Startstruck | 1.9 | yes | - | Require 060 + FPU + 4MB / 64MB TT-RAM. Music with DSP (DSP + sound can be disabled to speed up emulation a lot) |
| XI / Satantronic: Imperfect | 2.3 | - | - | 512b intro, starts only with 030 + 68882, but renders wrong |
Here are listed some Falcon specific applications:
| Title | Hatari version | DSP | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| AceMidi (demo) | 1.6 | emu | DSP generated softsynth sounds need Hatari at least v1.6 to sound OKish, and v2.0+ to sound good |
| AceTracker v2 | 2.0 | emu | Sounds good with WinUAE CPU core, but needs beefy machine for fast enough DSP emulation |
| AFM (audio fun machine) | 2.3 | emu | Glitchy sound / noise when equaliser is enabled, otherwise sound is fine |
| Animator (v0.20.4) | 2.3 | Replacement for Aviplayer. Doesn't play all the files that M_PLAYER does | |
| Aniplayer v2.22 | 2.3 | emu | (Harmless) DSP stack underflow on JPG slide show image switching. DSP synchronization error when trying to play MP2/MP3. Mpeg 1 videos either look incorrect, or lose DSP sync. Old Quicktime and AVI videos OK |
| Apex Alpha (demo) | 2.3.1 | - | Requires MMU and FPU. Screen isn't updated properly. Doesn't seem to do much? |
| Apex demo v2.10 | 2.3.1 | emu | apex210d.prg crashes on startup. Separate image viewer programs work fine. On real Falcon, application (its bus error detection for Expose digitizer) crashes under debugger, but works when run normally (details) |
| Apex Media v2.41 | 2.3 | - | The latest v2.41 works fine, as do the separate viewers. Decoding of several image formats uses DSP, but otherwise works also fine without DSP |
| AVI 030 | 2.3.1 | - | Very picky about which AVI files it supports |
| Centview | 1.3 | emu | Remember to run included JPEGD.PRG first (or put it to AUTO-folder) |
| Centurbo bench | 2.3 | emu | New (v2.3) WinUAE CPU core: FPU ~500 Mhz, DSP 64 Mhz, CPU 100-160 Mhz Old (v1.8) WinUAE CPU core: FPU 221 Mhz, DSP 32 Mhz, CPU 15 Mhz Old (v1.8) UAE CPU core: FPU 403 Mhz, DSP 32 Mhz, CPU 78 Mhz (moving mouse drops FPU and CPU numbers slightly) |
| Chronos 3D player | 2.0 | - | Requires 15-bit display (e.g. NOVA) |
| Delmpaint | 2.3.1 | - | Program errors at exit if started in other than 256-color low rez |
| Escapepaint | 1.1 | - | Very nice |
| FalcAMP | 2.3 | emu | MOD playing works fine, MP3s have no sound / complain about DSP timeout (v1.20b, v1.09 just freezes with MP3 files) |
| FlaySID (v3.01) | 2.3 | emu | |
| FlexTrax | 2.3 | emu | Very heavy to emulate, sound is noisy. Startup graphics look OK only in VGA mode |
| GemPLAY | 2.0 | emu | Requires v2.0 WinUAE CPU core and beefy machine for AM playback. Fileselector dir selection doesn't work with v1.92 or newer without adding "C:" in from of the file pattern (GemPlay bug) |
| Godpaint | 1.0 | - | |
| Graoumf Tracker (v0.8890) | 2.3.1 | emu | 32-voice DSP soundtracker |
| Hextracker | 2.1 | - | Freezes at startup if auto-started with TOS v4 (autostarting works with other TOS versions) |
| 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 UAE core, bombs immediately at startup (MMU not emulated in old UAE). Mouse cannot traverse whole screen unless mouse grab or fullscreen mode is used |
| ScummVm | 1.9 | - | Very slow, needs FPU, a lot of TT-RAM and user-specified config file name ("hatari-prg-args.sh -s 14 --ttram 256 --machine falcon --tos tos404.img --dsp none --addr24 off --fpu internal -- ./scummvm-m68020-olivier.ttp -c scummvm.cfg") |
| Voxx | 2.3.1 | emu | Demo version runs, but free version freezes after showing startup logo, and DSP underflow (no user-space instructions are executed, only TOS interrupts). Requires VGA with 640x480@16 resolution at minimum |
| Whip | 1.4 | emu | Effects are working |
| WinRec | 1.4 | emu | Direct-to-disk recording with DSP sound effects processing |
Here are some utilities that either have specific TT and/or Falcon support or work only on them.
| Utility | Hatari version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adebug (reloaded) | 1.7 | Debugger supporting 68000 - 68030. On Falcon and TT this uses MMU i.e. requires WinUAE CPU core |
| Calamus SL (1991 demo) | 1.0 | Nice with Hatari TT or 32Mhz Falcon emulation at e.g. 1024x768x1 VDI resolution... |
| Calamus SL lite 20xx | 1.9 | Newer versions work only with EmuTOS (2015-04-26 git version or newer), FPU, lot of both ST and TT-RAM and at least 800x600 resolution. ("--machine tt -m -s 14 --ttram 32 --tos etos512k.img", or "--machine falcon --dsp none --fpu 68882 --vdi-width 896 --vdi-height 608 --vdi-planes 4 -s 14 --addr24 off --ttram 32 --tos etos512k.img") |
| Cécile v2.22 | 2.3 | Hard disk driver. Supports only TT and Falcon. When using Falcon as machine, you either need to use an IDE disk, or disable the "fast boot" option. |
| FreeMiNT | 1.2 | Needs to be installed/booted from an ACSI or IDE HD image and memory protection needs to be disabled (Hatari old UAE core doesn't emulate MMU) |
| HD Driver | 1.9 | Hard disk driver. Works with native ACSI, IDE and SCSI on machines supporting those interfaces + NF_SCSI driver. Native SCSI bus support requires at least 020 CPU, rest work with any 680x0 CPU |
| ROMSPEED | 1.9 | Utility to copy and run ROM from Fast-RAM to accelerate its working. Requires TT-RAM / WinUAE CPU core to work. Different memory timings on different memory areas aren't emulated yet, so no speed changes are visible |
In case you are new to the Atari scene or an old-timer who's forgotten where all the freely available software is, these file archive sites still retain their Atari sections:
Demos (for many platforms) can be found from pouet.net and besides Atari scene news, Dead Hackers Society provides descriptions, screenshots and files for tools to create music, graphics and code on Atari:
There are also couple of sites dedicated to STE and Falcon specific software:
