jaysmith2000 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Greetings, I just recently acquired a TT030 system. After doing some extensive searching on the internet it seems there is not a whole lot of information on the system besides some basic stuff. Does anyone know what ST software the TT030 is compatible with? Also, is there any TT030 specific software out there? Thanks for the help!

krupkaj Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Basicaly on TT works most of clean software. It mean software which runs under GEM. And yes there is software which is optimized for TT and can take advatages of 68030 and 68882. Running MiNT is great on TT because it has much more power than ST. But the chance that you can run ST games is not so big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.skid Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Don't know for the TT, but for Falcon030 there is a program called "Backward", that let you play with most old ST games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I don't have a list of TT software, but the reason it can't run some ST games is that it doesn't have a Blitter chip. Any program that specifically made use of the Blitter chip won't work. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have you been doing with your system since you picked it up? Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 What are you guys talking about? My 1040ST doesn't have a Blitter chip (yet), but I've yet to come across any software that requires a Blitter...I've been told that some stuff will run marginally faster with a Blitter though. Also, I thought one of the TT's selling points in advancements over the ST line was that it DID have a Blitter (like the STE's)?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 sorry heh nothing to be sorry about, im just playin its original to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Thanks for the help Tempest. I saw some of your earlier posts on the TT030. What have you been doing with your system since you picked it up? No much. It took me awhile to get it working (some connections came loose during shipping). I have the 7800 development kit software running on it now. Someday I'll start writing a 7800 game... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having fun tinkering around with the system. For such an old one, I sure am impressed with it! I need to get comfortable using it with the Jag Dev Kit. I'm used to the PC.

I have bought TT wit 64 MB TT RAM and Cattamaramn recently. And now I am installing the SpareMiNT. I don't know about list of TT specific application, but the POV or Eureka or InShape can use the power of FPU and 030. I saw the ST-CAD, Kandinsky or PhotoLine 68030 version too. And I must mention Linux or NetBSD which are running on Ataris with 030 CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some "normal" STs have a Blitter too, you require TOS 1.02 (1.2) to use the advantage of the Blitter. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
