[Marakatti]

Cool list, thanks for compiling it

I have one suggestion to the CPC section: http://www.cpczone.net/index.php

It's an excellent resource for Amstrad games.

[Grunaki]

Thanks for the sticky!

Please post any links you would like added or dead links on the list in the thread and I'll add or remove them as appropriate.

Hope it's a useful reference for everyone.

[English Invader]

I would like to add Denial to the list -- this is a community for the Commodore VIC-20.

http://www.sleepingelephant.com/denial

You should also add VICE to the list. This is a multi-system C= emulator that emulates the PET, the VIC-20, the C64, the C128 and some others that I can't remember offhand.

http://www.viceteam.org

I forgot to mention that the Lemon forums are missing as well. The lads on Denial are aghast at the lack of C= resources on your list .

http://www.lemon64.com
http://www.lemonamiga.com

[Grunaki]

They're just in Denial..

This is exactly what I need though - I never used any Commodore machines growing up, so I've only posted what I've found (So far).

I beg to differ..

Thanks for all those links - probably take me a while to get them all integrated..

Just added them into the main list. Thanks! Been away for a couple of days, so I'll work on more updates later today if I get the chance..

[Grunaki]

Finally finished integrating Coy's links into the main list...
(Cheers buddy! ).

Re-categorized a bit of the Misc. section as there were a few trends building up in there (Remakes & Abandonware mainly)

Anyone got a list of all the FTPs on here so I can fill up that part of the ST section?

[coy]

wow, the list is getting really big but maybe you should move / duplicate the topic in a more suitable place so that it can be seen by as many people as possible (specially for those who aren't well familiarized with the forum)?

Well, that would be nice, but I'll have to see how it goes.. I put it in the chat forum as it's non-ST specific (although there is a lot of ST stuff cropping up in there now). I also feel like I should be adding the ST stuff into the Atari Forum Wiki as well, as they've been nice enough to sticky the topic for me..

Cheers Coy, only just noticed that - been busy last few weeks..

And last time I tried to edit the thread, it wouldn't accept the edits for some reason.. Oh well, I'll have another go..

[carmel_andrews]

I see you don't like the A8 (atari 8bit) Grunaki...You seem to have left it off your ginormous list (OP)

Here's some

Vjetnam (fairly extensive a8 games for download...and emulators as well)

Atari ++ (one of 2 regularly maintained atari 8bit/5200 emu's) there is a version that has limited support for the polish VBXE gfx upgrade

Altirra/Altira (the only other regularly maintained atari 8bit/5200 emu's) there is a version that has limited support for the polish VBXE gfx upgrade

atari.fandal.cz, like atarimania, full of games (mostly in.xex/exe format) and demo's as well as emulators

http://www.mushca.com/f/atari/index.php new site for the only maintained atari menu collection site (over 350 disks with nearly 3000 unique games (classic and well as recent euro releases, demo's, pcs files and boulderdash clones screens as well as PD)

atariarea (mainly polish atari site and forums, a good place to find out the latest A8 related software based hardware tricks in ML or assembler)

[Cyprian]

Hi Grunaki,

I see that your Atari ST Emulators section is a bit outdated.
Below you can find the list of emulators still under development:
Hatari
Saint
Aranym
Please add them.

thanks
