[PaCifiST] Atari ST emulation in the 1990s
I got a bit nostalgic a while ago and began to think it really was a long time ago the first decent Atari ST emulator was released... i am thinking of "PaCifiST" of course 🙂 It was so amazing back in 1996 when it was first released (or was it 1995?).
I could not find any video footage of PaCifiST here at UA-cam so i decided to make one myself just to show how it was back then and how PaCifiST looked like, not really good emulation by todays standards but it was a big step for Atari ST emulation on PC.
I did use "DOSBox Staging" (ver 0.81.0) when doing the video... so this is in fact emulation in emulation😉 The PaCifiST author did recommend a Pentium 133mhz to get full ST speed in the emulator.
DOSBox was configured with:
- core = dynamic
- cputype = pentium_slow
- cycles = 500000
I used PaCifiST version 0.48 wich was the second last version of it released in 1998.
I am playing some random ST games from compilation menus (cracked games😉).

    Great work. Speaking as an Amiga guy, it always seemed odd to me that Atari included the original with the ST for a time, when the Amiga version was so much better. Lack of overscan aside, this is very close to the Amiga version, though I do prefer the Amiga music (despite the fact that it was actually the Spectrum version that I owned all those years ago, so I knew the YM music before the Paula music). More evidence that the STe really closed up on the Amiga's advantages (without eliminating them entirely) without losing the ST's small advantages in clock speed and MIDI chip (and better music software)

    Something about this makes it feel near-unplayable for me, though it probably doesn't help that I played the Amiga version at length first. The sluggishness, overbearing rasters, small window, bad scrolling and lack of sound effects mean its just got no 'feel' for me. The bit from about 9 minutes in is almost impossible.

    ST Torvak runs a lot slower than the Amiga version, because it was developed alongside the Amiga version and Core didn't have time to improve it. They wanted to maintain the same screen size on both versions, so felt it was better to sacrifice speed, rather than play area, on the ST version. They felt, given the time scale, they pushed the ST quite a way.

      no it's a true 16bit, the Amiga just had more custom chips, more optimising to play to STs strengths would have produced a much better port, I suppose time constraints are the real issue here

      it's designed for the amiga and ported as basically as possible to the ST, unfair comparison, the other way wouldn't work well either, the Atari CPU runs faster than Amiga 500, imagine if the Amiga had to rely on all CPU without optimising for its custom chips, pretty much the same situation
