Atari Hddriver ((FULL))
When it is about mass storage and the Atari HDDRIVER is the first choice. Be it TOS, MagiC or MiNT, be it ACSI, SCSI, IDE or SATA. No matter which drive, old or modern, and which capacity: Fully exploit your Atari, not only with respect to device capacities and partition sizes. HDDRIVER is the only driver that supports all standards for mass storage devices and the Atari. The software is continuously developed further. The current release is version 11.14 from December 29, 2022.The HDDRIVER distribution offers more than only a driver. It includes a set of maintenance tools with a user-friendly interface. Formatting, partitioning, copying, configuring, testing and much more - no problem at all. Media changes are detected automatically (hot swap). HDDRIVER supports all fully Atari compatibles and many emulators. With Hatari or ARAnyM you can directly access native devices under Linux from within the emulated Atari, just like with MagiCMac and MagiCPC.

With Hatari or ARAnyM you can directly access native devices under Linux from within the emulated Atari, just like with MagiCMac and MagiCPC.Exchanging data with PCs or Macs via memory card or regular drive is child's play and much faster than with cables or network. Without additional software the PC/Mac can directly access Atari data and vice versa.Rewritable optical media (DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, BD-RE) can be partititioned like a hard disk drive. Simply use the discarded DVD writer of your old PC as a backup drive for your Atari data!
To directly boot from IDE, the TT needs a TOS with the IDE patch. More details can be found in the forum atari-home.de ([1]), along with a reference source. With existing IDE TOS patch a special Thunderstorm logo is displayed at start up and in the desktop under Info you get the following note:
Jasne, na razie uczę się. Sprawa szybkości jeszcze "w lesie". Dzisiaj próbowałem samodzielnie przygotować kartę SD. Sukces częściowy, to znaczy, opanowałem i wychodzi już z użyciem driverów p.Putnika. ICD nie udało się, oprogramowanie nie widzi satana. HDDriver, próbowałem rózne wersje od legalnej demo v.9 poprzez różne "znaleźne" wersje, do v.6 wszędzie mam to samo: próba odpalenia hddrivera konczy się komunikatem błędu #35.
Yes you can boot any Atari/TT/Falcon from a hard disk you just need a driver there are a couple of commercial drivers still available with active support. Peter Putnik's driver he's still active on all the big atari forums and
Hatari is an Atari ST, STE, TT and Falcon emulator for Linux, *BSD, macOS,Windows and other Systems which are supported by the SDL library.The emulator is open source software and is distributed under the terms of theGNU GeneralPublic License (GPL).
Unlike many other Atari emulators which try to give you a goodenvironment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardwareas close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old gamesand demos. Of course you can run normal GEM applications with Hatari, too.
See the developers' doc/todo.txt file(included with Hatari sources) for the details on the few remainingemulation gaps and the Hatari AtariSoftware Compatibility List for which Atari programs are knownto be affected by them.
Hatari needs a fast machine (1 GHz or more for ST/STE emulation, > 2 GHzfor Falcon emulation) which is running a POSIX compatible operating system(preferably GNU/Linux) that supports the SDL library.There are also some ports to other operating systems like macOS or Windows,but they are not used by the developers, so such builds are normally not verywell tested.
After you have verified that you have the required libraries and theirdevelopment files, change to the hatari/directory. Create a build/ directory underit and configure the build system for your environment:mkdir -p buildcd buildcmake ..Then compile Hatari by typing make.If all works fine, you'll get the executable hatariin the src/ subdirectory.
Before you can start Hatari, you have to copy a TOS ROM image to the datadirectory (/share/hatari/, bydefault /usr/local/share/hatari/) andrename it to tos.img, or use the--tos command line option to tellHatari where to find a TOS ROM.Hatari needs a TOS ROM image because this contains the operating systemof the emulated Atari.
Unfortunately it is not possible to ship an original ROMimage with the Hatari package since these images are still copyrighted.But you can easily create an image with a real Atari machine and one ofthose various ROM-image programs for them (search for "TOSDUMP" with yourfavourite internet search engine).
Another solution is EmuTOS, which is also shipped with the officialrelease versions of Hatari. EmuTOS is an open-source TOS clone. You can findit at: it works fine with most Atari software, it is not the bestsolution for Falcon emulation due to missing features, or for playingold (disk only) games and other software tied to specific TOS version(s)(see emutos.txt for more details).However, it is free, its 512k version supports all Atari machinesemulated by Hatari, it does not require a driver to support harddiskimages, and it boots faster than original TOS.
Now type hatari to run theemulator for the first time. If all goeswell, you should now be presented with a window showing you thefamiliarlittle green desktop of the Atari ST. Press F12to turn on the GUI toconfigure Hatari to suit your needs, press F11to toggle windowed and fullscreen mode.
Hatari settings can come from several sources, with later onesoverriding the earlier given ones:Builtin Hatari default options
Global /etc/hatari.cfg (or /usr/local/etc/hatari.cfg) configuration file
User specific /.config/hatari/hatari.cfg configuration file
Command line arguments
Option changes done at run-time in Hatari options GUI, with the Hatari debugger "setopt" command, or through the (optionally enabled) Hatari command FIFO or control socket
Some of the run-time changes require emulation to be reset for themto take effect. In most cases, Hatari will do that automatically whenneeded.
Because TOS and popular GEM programs have problems with certain screensizes, Hatari enforces restrictions on VDI screen size. In total VDIscreen size is limited to 32-300kB, width to multiple of 16 pixels,and height to multiple of 8 pixels (smaller system font height). Thattranslates to following maximum standard resolutions for the VDI mode:
You can use the three buttons in the upper right corner for additional folder navigation. Click the .. button to go up one level in the directory tree. The CWD button takes you to the current working directory (i.e. the folder that was current when Hatari has been started). Click the button to return to your home directory. The / button can be clicked to go to the root directory of the file system.
With the "Boot faster" option, Hatari patches the TOS ROM and some system variables, to speed up the boot process of the emulated system, e.g. by simulating a warm reset. This is a convenient option, but some very few old programs rely on an unmodified boot process, so in rare cases this option has to be switched off to get those programs running.
NOTE: The emulated Atari system is very very sensitive to all of these options so Hatari will automatically reset the emulation when changes to (most of) these settings are applied. Rest of the settings apply to next boot.
The CPU clock option can be used to select the frequency that is used to clock the CPU. 8 MHz is the standard for ST and STE and the most compatible frequency for old software. The CPU in the TT was clocked with 32 MHz. The original Mega STE and Falcon could be run in both, 8 MHz and 16 MHz with the possibility to toggle between the two frequencies during runtime via software. Hatari supports this feature, too, so it is possible to switch between 8 and 16 MHz from the emulated side, e.g. with certain accessories or CPX. However, if you select 32 MHz or a non-standard CPU in the Hatari GUI, this feature is disabled, since Hatari assumes that you rather want to emulate a system with an accelerator CPU board (which don't implement this the software frequency switching).
Check the "Auto insert B" option if you want Hatari to be smart andinsert the second disk of a two disk game automatically.Some games then use the second drive automatically.In the case that a game is not able to find the disk in the second drive,you have to insert the second disk in drive A: manually when prompted.NOTE: This option only works properly if the file name of thefirst disks ends with an 'a' before the extension and the second disk nameends with a 'b'.
If you want, you can set Hatari to write-protect your disks. Atari ST viruses can spread on disk images, so that can be a good idea. However, note that some programs won't work correctly (or at all) with write protected disks, and things like saving highscores in games will fail.
IDE controllers are using a 16-bit interface, so depending on where the contents of a real hard disk have initially been created (on an Atari machine or on a PC), and depending on where the contents have been read out from the disk, 16-bit values in the image might be byte-swapped. Hatari can either try to detect this situation automatically (when "Auto" is selected), or you can tell Hatari whether it should always byte-swap the disk image contents or not. 041b061a72
