Atari ST Emulator for Pocket PC Released
CastCE is finally out. It apparently supports playing a wide variety of games at 100% speed. Looks very cool.

Excellent, but where do you find a place to purchase a legal copy of the Operating System (TOS ?) and the games ?
Or does anybody have a link to someone who'd "know".

I'd say forget it. The system has been long since abandoned, and the only way is on eBay, etc.

Marble Madness
I remember this game from the original arcade. I've been running the iobox version for quite some time and it is excellent. THE iobox version looks much better than the screen shot shown above in this thread. The sound is awesome.

Yes, it was quite good, although it looked and sounded alot better on my Amiga 500 8)

Yeah, but you've got to remember something - this particular screenshot is of a game written probably 10-15 years ago for a system just as old if not older. And, of course, there are MANY other games you can play on the emulator if this doesn't strike your fancy.
I can't wait to get home and try it out - I was a HUGE Atari enthusiast for a very long time. Funny enough, never did get an ST until about five years ago. It was a great little machine that in my opinion never did get the respect it deserved.

The Palm uses a processor that is virtually identical to the old MAST guys (Mac, Amiga, ST) and it takes the PPC hardware to finaly port the old stuff? I suppose so much of the real power in the ST and Amiga was in the support chips, that the bare Motorola 68000 could not run these old programs on my CLie. Too bad though.
Now, what was nice on my old ST. Spiritware's Bible Concordance (Bible search, still better than anything available on PDA or desktop today.) Michtron had cool games, TimeBandit was the premier title, PageStream and Calamus brought scalable fonts to the Atari desktop before Adobe and TrueType did it on the Windows side.
What a strange and wonderful thing it would be if all that could come to the PPC.

Hmm, maybe I'm getting too old. I thought more people than just myself would recognize the classic - Marble Madness.
