a frind of mine asked me for searching a dos-emulator for an
atari st. Actually he uses one of these old machines but he also want to run
his dosprogramms with it.

Is there an emulator existing for using dos-programs under an
atari st and are there some sources on the web?

thx in advance

Would be useful, though, wouldn’t it?  A Pentium or PPC could
easily emulate a 286/386 as if it were a foreign processor,
just by chucking raw power at it, and no one would have to
‘Reboot to DOS mode’ and let their machine swap config.sys
and autoexec.bat files about just to play Star Control II
or Ultima VI.

This same thing happens when you shoot the reactor, and start
flying out, the game suddenly jumps to the starting screen.

I know m33b3 is a beta version, but this same problem was also
in the previous betas. Perhaps changing the "timing" in vector games
caused this.

The best game of Mame, and it seems to be impossible to get it
working. What have I done to deserve this!

PS: Xevious and Atari System 1 games are much slower in these betas.
Xevious was perfect in 0.30.

I would like to know the name of an old arcade game which isn’t yet
emulated
by MAME (I think). Unfortunately I don’t know much of it any more but I
did
like it quite much. Here’s what I still know:

- The game was in the arcades around the same time as the shooter 1942
  (1984 ?), Dragons Lair (1983) and Moon Patrol (1982), so I think the
year
  was about 1983.
– The game consisted of a map-part where you choosed your way and an
action-
  part in the various sub-levels.
– In the map-part you could choose your way from a starting point to a
  destination. The map consisted of ways with way bifurcations (spawned
into
  2 ways) and graphical symbols on these ways (I only remember a
mountain)
  which corresponded with the sublevels, where you had to fight if you
chose
  the corresponding way. You didn’t fight on this map, but you had to
fight
  in the sublevels. Each time you crossed such a symbol you were zoomed
into
  a sublevel where you had to fight. The first map was quite small and
you
  had only one way-bifurcation. The maps in the following levels
constantly
  became bigger and had more bifurcations and sublevelsymbols.
– In the sub-levels you saw your character from a side-view. In the
sub-level
  which had the mountain as symbol on the map you were under the earth
and
  had to find a way out from left to right. The underground ways had a
diameter
  of approximately 1/3rd to 1/4th of the whole screen. The first
sub-levels
  were quite short, but with each level they got bigger. Your character
had
  a sword for fighting, and maybe some other weapons. The sub-levels
scrolled
  and were much bigger than the screen.
– When you reached the destination on the map you also got into a
sub-level,
  where you were confronted with a dragon (I think so, but am not really
sure).
  After you had defeated the dragon you advanced one level and got a
bigger map
  with more bifurcations.
– The game had an action-adventure like atmosphere.

Thats all I still know, and I thank you in advance for any hints for the
name
of the game !
