CaSTaway is an emulator for the Atari ST, which is a 16/32-bit home computer from the mid-1980s.

Wriiten by Jeff, the emulator is also available on Palm OS, Zodiac and GP32.

Installation

Note: The emulator requires an authentic TOS/The Operating System Boot Image to run. It could have been a file with .rom or .img extensions, and you need to rename it to TOS.ROM (make sure you change the extension not just the name). Developer recommended using US 1.02 for best result, however many others work fine also.

Build 006 is intended for Custom Firmwares (e.g. M33 and Dark Alex OE); whereas 005 is built for Firmware 1.0/1.5/2.0 (available on the official website).

To install, copy the contents of /PSP-Custom-Firmwares/PSP/GAME/ to your /PSP/GAME/ directory of choice.

Then put the TOS.ROM file into your ATARI_ST directory.

Place Atari ST roms/game disk images (ST, MSA, ZIP) in the /PSP/GAME/ATARI_ST/ directory.

Changelog

Release 006

  • A new build environment with fresher toolsets.
  • Fixed some menu display issues (font clipping, spacing of text and other trivialities).
  • Fixed some minor emulation issues that caused Dungeon Master to crash deep in the game, which hopefully fixes some things in other games too.
  • Works for the Slim very nicely.

Release 005

  • Handle more than 250 disk images/savestates (up to about a thousand now).
  • Added goofy ST-like unpack effect at load time, 'unpack demo' for a few secs, wait a sec, 'black' and menu as normal.
  • Can set throttle to 60Hz, 50Hz, or even 30Hz, or unthrottle.
  • Added scaling menu, so you can specify:
    • Scale 1:1 with centering.
    • Scale fullscreen with smoothing.
    • Scale fullscreen without smoothing.
