[ Demozoo ] Console Cracktro Preservation Taskforce
To preserve console cracktros and trainer menus is a highly complicated matter: One has to extract the scene-generated content from the patched game in a way that no proprietary game data remains, while turning the intro into a standalone ROM image. As you might have noticed, the numbers of archived GBC, GBA, SNES, Dreamcast, PSX, PS2, NDS, N64 and even Wonderswan intros and trainer menus have been skyrocketing recently. This is thanks to a dedicated and skillful team of console enthusiasts within the Demozoo orbit, currently consisting of Xylitol, NewOtzelot, ps1ch and SiZiOUS, who locate console releases with intros and trainers, extract those using sophisticated tools and handcraft, and put them on scene.org and Demozoo for everyone to enjoy. More and more intros are coming online on an almost daily basis. If you are a console enthusiast who would like to contribute to these efforts, contact the Demozoo team on our Discord server.

[ Atariscne.org - News ] Floppyshop Online - The Atari ST & Falcon Public Domain Library, Reborn
Back in the day, Floppyshop was one of the largest and best-known public domain libraries (PDLs) in the UK - a mail-order institution that supplied Atari ST and Falcon users with disk after disk of games, demos, utilities, music, fonts and art, long before broadband made everything a click away. For countless Atari owners, the Floppyshop catalogue was how you discovered new software.
Collections like this usually meet a sad end: boxed up, shelved, turned into shelf-ornaments and slowly forgotten. I didn't want that to happen here. So my girlfriend and I spent many days painstakingly reorganising the entire Floppyshop Gold series into a fully online, searchable database - every disk catalogued, every file downloadable, and all of it completely free to browse and grab. Thousands of programs and PD titles, preserved and back within reach.
It's all sorted into easy-to-browse sections: Art and Graphics, Astrology, Clip Art, Communication, Demos, Disk Magazines, Educational, Fonts, Games, Programming, MIDI, Music, Product Demos, Sound, Utilities and Word Processing. Buried in among it are plenty of "lost" programs - tools and titles that are still genuinely useful today, not just curiosities.
The originals weren't perfect, and neither were the catalogues. There were many discrepancies between what the Gold collection listed and the disks themselves, and I've corrected as many as I could find - including a few disks that never made it into the supplied (and probably older) catalogue at all. The separate ST and Falcon catalogues have been merged into single sections to keep things simple, with Falcon disks clearly renamed FALC-xxx so they're never confused with their ST counterparts.
Search it, browse it, download it - all free. And if you'd rather grab the whole lot in one go, the complete archives are available over on the exxos forum.

[ Atariscne.org - News ] Atari legacy
This came out of nowhere: a printed Atari magazine in English language, written and layouted on an Atari Falcon 060 with PCI-graphics card using Calamus.
Kroll strikes back, even more professional than before with this surprising piece of Atari press which will be available worldwide and also in some Polish shops (the famous Empik stores). The content seems very interesting, covering games, demoscene and obviously including some deeper research, e.g. "The History of the Polish Demoscene on 8-Bit Atari - It didn’t begin with crackers. It began at the computer markets of 1980s Poland."
This seems to be fascinating work!

After more than 30 years, STOS BASIC has been rebuilt from its original 1989 V2.06 sources and brought to modern Atari hardware. STOS BASIC V5.5 ALPHA is out now as a free download.
The original STOS was written for an 8MHz 520ST and tends to break or corrupt graphics on anything newer. V5.5 fixes that: it now runs correctly on the Falcon, EmuTOS, 68030 accelerators and fast emulators, all proven across EmuTOS, TOS 1.04, 2.06 and Falcon TOS 4.04.
It's faster, too. Every trap-based inter-library call has been replaced with direct dispatch (125 sprite and 20 music traps removed) and the compiler emits tighter arithmetic and IF code — around 14% average speedup across the 54-test benchmark suite, with FILL, COPY, sprites, CLS BACK and IF gaining 30–50%. The editor has been patched as well (LIST scroll, file-selector and SYSTEM fixes). Best of all, it's 100% source-compatible with V2.06 — your existing STOS listings compile unchanged.

[ Atariscne.org - News ] CT60 TOS 1.03e has been released
Mikro writes: I'm no fan of cross-posting news but with the current atari-forum.com issues where many people can't reach it properly I guess I can make an exception. :) So yeah, I have published a new version of CT60 TOS, the "firmware" for all CT60, CT63 and CT60e accelerators. It has been on my TODO list since forever. Sometimes I was really close, then lost motivation / got stuck, then discovered new bugs, postponed again etc etc... so I'm really relieved and happy to announce a modest update to our beloved CT60 TOS: https://github.com/mikrosk/ct60tos/releases/tag/1.03e--

[ Atariscne.org - News ] New Trick And No Treat - A Cautionary Tale
When dealing with hardware like the ST, one of the most valued currencies back in the day were the so-called "hardware tricks"1. The limitations of the ST were so severe, that everything that helped mitigate that, even a little, was very, very welcome. May this be bigger 800k floppy disk formats, mixed resolutions, buzzer/digi-/SID-sound, the various overscan types and of course the king of the playground - hardware scrolling. Especially the last one was very shushed about by the people in the know and if one managed to catch a glimpse of how that specific magic machinery worked - oh boy, it was mind-boggling.
I am sure we all remember seeing the TCB Fullscreen, the ULM Scroller Fullscreen or hearing the buzzer or even YM-SID-sounds for the first time - this sense of the world expanding, like literally, is hard to explain - let alone to reproduce. The fact that this machine still produces new hardware tricks up to this day - like various new YM effects, generalized 4-bit hardware-scrolling, new screen resolutions just to name a few, is simply astonishing and keeps the platform interesting and challenging at the same time.
That's why the idea came up to take you, dear reader, on a small journey to where a new hardware trick gets discovered - and then even further down into it's ultimate culmination in... failure.
