Ratings and reviews

This Atari St emulator is super easy to use and has a bunch of useful features. Well laid out interface makes it easy to switch inputs and insert disks. It is very easy to make machine changes in the settings as well. Oh yeah, runs perfectly on my midrange phone. Games and programs, no problem. Highly recommended.

This is an amazing app, almost perfect, but with only one major flaw for me: When you have an actual mouse attached, you get two cursors and one of them moves at a different rate to the other, especially different scalings on different axes. When your hardware cursor reaches screen-edge, you need to fiddle about with the mouse to get the software cursor to move. This is, quite literally, the only niggle I've found. Almost everything else is brilliant.

Very good emulator which I absolutely recommend. The only thing it doesn't do that I'd like is the ability to have a button on the right of the screen next to the fire button and mapped to 'joystick up' for platform games and racing games. Apart from that, flawless and excellent. EDIT: I just found out I can actually do this, so unreservedly recommended.
