@bobbystar101 - Lol, and this coming from a pissant little tosser. :) Please dont take offence if I, like most Im sure, take your opinion (and rant) with a pinch of salt.

Obviously you enjoy giving the world pleasure by making a complete tosspot out of yourself, thereby giving us all a good laugh.

As an ST owner and collector, it is not often I get accused of trawling (again, thanks for the laugh)! :)

But, how could you ask me not to reply? Dickheads need attention too... dont you?

@2smoothbra : .....says the dickhead with a name like "2smoothbra"!

What a tool. :)

@JasperAbraxxious Jasper is a faggy name

You see, fanboys will fight for decades. Newsflash, Atari, Amiga, they both failed in the long run, at this stage is possible for us all to just enjoy them.

On an unrelated matter, ST for the win!

@JasperAbraxxious I prefer the first level music on the ST. To be fair, I like both the Amiga and the Atari ST equally.

[JasperAbraxxious]

@SuperGrahamw : Yessum, however, the simple open architecture of the St can work to its advantage. I remember being amazed the first time I heard an St running a Sif player emulation to play C64 Sids. The St/Ste etc can pre mix more channels than the hardware supports, and then play the mixed channels - just like the Amiga.

Anywho, regardless of its failings, the STe was a great machine - mine is equipped with TOS 2.06, 4mb ram and an UltraSatan and I would not part with it.

@JasperAbraxxious Your right on the fixed frequencies for replay. YM is PSG DIGI is PCM. DBE Tracker v1.08demo

by ST-Ghost / Sector One

Sector One tracker with support for many fileformats. It can play 32 channels on plain STe and has DSP enhanced replay on Falcon

from dhs.nu

there's also hextracker 16 channels on a plain ST.

And the STe had the Microwire interface.

[JasperAbraxxious]

@TeamRocketReviews Wow, you must have, erm, odd hearing. :(

How ar eyour eyes? Is the scrolling smoother in the ST version too? :)

[JasperAbraxxious]

@JasperAbraxxious : The STe had inferior hardware to even the original Amigas, so exactly HOW could it emulate more powerful chips BETTER than the original?

This is just not possible in our realm of reality. The STe was Atari's attempt at playing "catch up" to the original Amiga, and it was a fine machine, but its blitter is not as powerful as the original Amiga, its sound is inferior and it still has no copper unit.

It had analogue joyports though, which was nice.

[JasperAbraxxious]

@SuperGrahamw :) Noperz, the STe had EXACTLY the same crappy yamaha PCM sound as the ST (they reused the same chip for compatibility).

So the STe had only 3 PCM channels.

Also, the DMA sound of the STe was more primitive than the Amiga. The Amiga had FOUR channels of stereo DMA sound at infinitely variable frequency (sound can be played back at ANY frequency required).

The STe had TWO channels of Stereo DMA sound that can only be played back at set rates (6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50).

[SuperGrahamw]

@JasperAbraxxious STe had 8 channel PCM sound and I believe there is a 32 channel tracker so??? and STe can emulate Paula... better than in the Amiga original....
