SNDH archive v4.2 released - 3921 SNDH files (total 7389 tunes)
Ever since the birth of the Atari ST, different chip music formats have had different ways to use them. If you are coding a chip music player for the Atari ST you would have to use dozens and dozens of special ways to replay music.
But in the mid 90′s, BDC of Aura crew became tired of this inelegant system and decided to fix the issue once and for all. He then created the ‘SNDH’ file format. SNDH is actually the original songfile and replaycode with a header bolted on top of the music and replayer. The header has a unified calling interface no matter what type of chip music is hidden beneath it, and it has extended datas about the music.

ASAP is a player of 8-bit Atari music for modern computers and mobile devices. It emulates the POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor.
The project was initially based on the routines from the Atari800 emulator, but the current version has a completely new original emulation core.
Changelog ASAP 3.1.5 (2013-08-17):
- Android: fixed playback on Android 4.1+, disconnecting headset pauses playback, updates position and avoids “process not responding” during seek, starts in root directory if there’s no memory card.
- GStreamer plugin gets autoplugged (read: SAPs play in GStreamer-based players).
- WASAP plays music to its very end.
- Fixed crash on malformed RMT files.
- Restored Audacious 2.x compatibility.
- DEB packages.
- foobar2000 `*.fb2k-component` package.

AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.
AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.
Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:
- Up to 15 disk drive emulation.
- Up to 6x SIO speed (125,000bps)
- Support for ATR, XFD, PRO and ATX (preliminary) disk images.
- Mount folders as emulated disks.
- Disk image explorer.
- Directly boot Atari executables.
- Text only printer emulation with PC print, save, and ATASCII font support.
- Cassette image playback.
- Multilingual GUI (English, Polish, Slovak, German, Turkish and Russian)
- AspeQt client module (AspeCl) for Atari, communicates with the server and performs a variety of remote operations.
Changelog:
- Added an option (Options/Emulation menu) to selectively enable/disable filtering of underscore character from file names in Folder Images (Ray Ataergin)
- Fixed a problem where “Unmount All” menu item was only unmounting the first 8 images. (Marcin Sochacki)
- Updated Polish language translations (Marcin Sochacki – TheMontezuma)

Stella release v3.8.1 for Linux, MacOS X and Windows is now available.
Changelog:
- Added support for TIA RSYNC writes, thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge. This allows the recently released “Extra Terrestrials” ROM to run, as well as improving emulation of “Fatal Run” and several other test ROMs.
- Fixed typo in TIA HMOVE writes, thanks to Thomas Jentzsch. This fixes the constant collision issues in “Kool-Aid Man”, and several other homebrew ROMs.
- Fixed sound issues on OSX PPC machines (all sound was in little-endian format, but PPC is big-endian).
- The OSX DMG archive now contains proper modification dates.

Changelog:
- Updated Turkish translations.
- Updated the AspeQt documentation.
- Added Folder Image boot support for MyDos, MyPicoDos and SpartaDos. AspeQt now offers an option to switch between those 4 different DOSes automatically. The user no longer needs to supply the required DOS files or the file containing the boot sectors ($boot.bin) as AspeQt includes them and switches from one DOS to another through the UI. The context menu (right clicking on a mounted folder image on D1:) will present a window with DOS selections. By choosing a DOS and clicking Apply on that window will switch DOSes and the next reboot of the Atari will boot selected DOS from the Folder Image. For details of the switching mechanism, the limitations of, and more, please see AspeQt documentation.
- Changed the color and boldness of the Folder Image names to visually differentiate them from other file images.
