Saint 2.3 Vs Steem SSE 3.5.2

Mon Aug 05, 2013 6:16 pm

Hello,

I found that Steem was updated again by another person. Last version can be downloaded frome here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/steemsse/

I don't know much about Atari ST to be sure, but which emulator do you think works better, SainT 2.30 or this new version of Steem?

steem is good for protected disks with pasti.dll, and seems to be updated more often.
So i would favor that.

But without testing every game and demo in both emulators to compare. i would have both installed.
odds on, something will work better in SainT. :wink:

Not given it a full workout, but it looks good.

Should definitely be scripted and added to the ST GameBase. :wink:

But you are probably right.

Hatari Script.

This emulator ran almost everything i threw at it.
you just need to select correct machine and TOS setting.

It only failed on a RAW disk image "Wipe-Out.STW"
but it worked fine with another version.

There is also a new version of Steem (Steven Seagal Edition)

Even though Steven Seagal is only a cook, he still kicks ass. :)

What can be wrong if I can run emulator directly through .exe, but not through Gamebase frontend? Proper paths (emulators.ini) configured, all files from .mad. copied to proper folders.

you are not the only one who has that problem.

i think emulator must be on same drive as the games/rezip folder. (like my setup)

There is no option to browse to another hard drive in Hatari's
floppy options.
set the GameBase rezip folder to c:\GBGame
and install on C: and it works. ;)

the script will setup and load files from these locations.

Config gets edited and loaded from here...
C:\GameBase\Atari\Scripts\gbhatari.cfg

TOS file loaded from here...
C:\GameBase\Atari\scripts\TOS\TOS104uk.img

Disk image gets unzipped and attached from here...
c:\gbgame\0\das grosse deutsche ballerspeil 2.msa

yeah, checked all config text/script files too and was surprised because of it :)

tnx again, anywhere I'll try to "fight with" c:\windows\temp - as all GB's in my collection work with
