Steem is a free emulator designed for Windows and Linux operating systems that imitates the Atari STE.
Users can access Steem through different usage methods. One can use the software through disk images, cartridge images, state files, or TOS images. Depending on what method you choose, you can customize the options you want to use for a seamless experience.
The options on Steem are case-independent and can be prefixed by -, --, /, or nothing. Some of these options include disabling the use of Shared Memory, having no sound output, or setting sound output frequency. Users can also set a portAudio buffer size to a specific number of samples or use a different font.
Steem also has an easy-to-use GUI that you can play with to customize the options you want once you load the software. The GUI provides all the options that are not included in the command line mode.
This release comes with a lot of improvements that address various bugs in the previous versions. The changes include rewriting DMA sound, fixing some CPU bugs, and fixing the read-only disk image read sector bug. Other bugs, such as the multiple save over the last snapshot undo bug, have also been fixed.
Steem has added some features to enhance user experience. For example, Pasti copy-protected disk image library support is now available. The software now has a disk image database that makes it easy to detect the contents of disk images. The VSync has been improved, and users can now navigate the software with more ease. There are also new features in the disk manager, web links have returned, and users can now use the RtAudio library sound. Additionally, there is a debug mode that has lots of stuff.
In summary, Steem is an effective and easy-to-use emulator that can run almost every ST program ever made without any problems. The software has many unique features, and the developers update it regularly to ensure that it functions optimally. With this software, users can enjoy vintage games or use MIDI apps with the same feel they did on the ST.
