This is the definitive Metal Slug (Mission 1) port for Atari STE
-Using Atari Game Tools, almost all the game is programmed using C language

Features:


-Complementary Dithering colour, aprox. 70 colors on screen;
requires more than 40 frames per second. As emulator, Steem in the recommended one, and active the Vsync


-652 KB of digital sampled audio, 3 voices mixed at 12.5 KHz
Music is also based on sampled audio loops at same frequency


-Around 3 MB of graphics data


-50 frames per second gameplay, few slowdowns


-Hardware requirements: Atari STE @ 8 MHz CPU with 4 MB RAM + a hard disk device (recommended)
 
-Controls: A,W,S,D  Movement   |   N   Fire (Autofire enabled)    |   B   Grenade or Cannon  |   M  Jump (Single key press)

Very clever that is really handy for customers to use it very turn key. 😄
I luckily never had any problem with my power supply. 😄 So I thought it was very great from the first time using it. 🙂 Such a handy device.
 
Yes, I use on my Mega STe exclusively. 😄 The performance is very great, and I can run every program perfectly. I have had no problems. 🙂 It works perfectly for loading large programs like SCUMMVM-Lite and Wolfenstein 3D port.

This looks awesome!!  Unfortunately I run an STe in the USA at 60 FPS.  50 is too slow 😥

Played it on my Mega STe a while back.
Blew me away! 😄 dml's Atari Game Tools do a great job along with your coding to make a great smooth experience I would have killed for on the ST back in the day. If only I had a three button pad to play it with. 😛
You guys are showing the Amiga fanboys our lovely ST is alive and kicking. ❤️
 

This topic is old, but I have played a good bit of Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road with ScummVM-Lite. I see there is a newer version than I have so I will have to try the updated version.
Much thanks to @masteriesand his great HDD attachment so I could fit the 100s of megabytes of files in my Mega STE.

Beta version available for donwload, the same binary is compatible with PAL and NTSC machines at once 🙂

This Metal Slug port is a conversion from my own Metal Slug port for Atari STE computer
Mainly all the game engine is being ported from Atari STE to MegaDrive / Genesis.
 
A video:
 
 
Audio playback is 100% based on digital samples, using our custom made sound driver that provides 3 channels mixed at 16 KHz.
Samples are compressed, in order to save ROM space, and Real-Time decompressed using the Z80 processor.
 
Currently, the same samples and graphics from the Atari STE version takes only 1 MB of MegaDrive / Genesis ROM space,
while the STE version takes 3.6 MB
 
There is a high detailed background composed of up to 8600 tiles, and a parallax background.
Background uses up to 61 different colours. Custom MegaDrive / Genesis tools are made to create map graphics data,
and to provide colouring to the map tiles.
 
Many things are still pending to be ported to MegaDrive / Genesis,
 
Stay tuned!

Greetings mates, lovers of Atari,
 
Some years ago I acquired a never used, a brand new (non opened box), Atari STE computer. That is really a great machine, heavily underrated machine.
Quickly I update it with 4 MB SIMM RAM modules... and I started on the search about how to program for it using C language...
some time after I reached this state:
 
 
This demonstration illustrates many of AGT libraries features, such fast sprite drawing routines, frame slipping, smooth scrolling and dualfield colouring technique, in order to increase the number of colours far beyond 16 usual ones.
It is designed and running on a standard 8 MHz Atari STE with 4 MB RAM at 50 frames per second. Loading from diskette is granted, but hard drive or new sd card reader for extended joystick port is easier and recommended. Due to games developed on this way requires plenty disk space; this demo loads up to 3.1 MB of data, 512 KB of them are used for music and fx effects, other 512 KB are needed to store the extremely detailed NeoGeo quality level map graphics; the rest of them are for sprites; where many animations are not yet programmed, but these frames are being loaded.
Sound is completely based on digital sound samples, mixed in a Real-Time manner; 3 voices at 12,5 KHz, arcade sound quality. The Yamaha YM2149 is not used in this example.
 
Original game code is not used here. Game code is programmed on C language using STE oriented libraries, the digital audio mixer is written on 68k assembly.
 
Original Metal Slug name, graphics and sounds/musics are property of their respective owners.
 
 

Released, enjoy it!

Greetings,
 
The complete demo of stage 1 is availabe there:
https://masteries.itch.io/
for Atari STE and MegaDrive/Genesis (Genesis version is more "beta" than STE, its very difficult to deal with the very size limited video RAM of the console, when you put on screen a very high detailed scenario and many sprites).
 
As well, for modern STE times, you will need a low cost high performance hard disk device.

Excuse my tremendous delay, I almost forgot to review this Atari related forum.
 
I wrote to you a message,
 
Thanks for your interest,
 

Yes it works with a MegaSTE computer,
 
If I remember well, @Jinroh has a MegaSTE, he can provide you with real experience feedback with Mega models,

Yes, this simple addon is the solution for the power source compatibility problem.
 
As well, anyone with the minimal needed tools can add this USB cable,
in order to use any 5 volts power source 🙂
(current delivered units have this power cable)
