This is a little compilation of what Atari software does work in Hatari. It is by no means finished.
First is listed software (games, demos and applications) that work on normal STs, after them is listed STE only software that has been tested with the current STE hardware emulation. Then there are a few TT-only games and demos, and finally a list of somewhat working Falcon games, demos and applications.
If something listed here doesn't work as expected, please check that you have enabled the "Slower but more compatible CPU" Hatari system option (and that the machine type is correct).
Some games and demos may not work if you have specified too little or too much memory. For ST, 1MB memory size is usually fairly safe.
Especially ST demos and games may require some specific TOS version and not work at all with others. If you notice that this information is missing for some listed game or demo, please send mail to the hatari-devel mailing list about it so that we can update the list.
Most of the (ST/e) games and almost any of the (ST/e) demos do NOT work with EmuTOS. Main reason for this is its missing Line-A emulation.
Almost all ST games work with the emulation except for some quality issues with the sound emulation. MIDI input is missing for music applications (and for few midi-networked games). Some very rare demos would need more cycle accurate emulation and better IKBD emulation. By default everything that works on a real ST should work also in Hatari.

| ZX Spectrum emulator | yes | Installer needs to be run from a floppy image and (HD) install directory needs to be already present. After installing, use unzip to get zero byte sized files from the original self-extracting zip files. Both 68000 and 68030 versions work both in color and mono. |
At the moment Hatari doesn't emulate MIDI input, it has only simple MIDI output emulation.
If you don't have a MIDI sequencer, on Linux you can use a softsynth like Timidity or FluidSynth instead (if your distribution supports ALSA). For instructions, see alsa-midi.txt file.
By default everything should work with the STE emulation. If it doesn't and is missing from these lists, please mail hatari-devel so that we can add it here. In addition to compatibility issues with the ST emulation, for some STe demos, an additional generic issue is the accuracy of Blitter emulation timings.
First are some STE games that do work with the STE features in Hatari. Most of these games work only on STE, but here are also some games which work (or have a version that works) also on ST, i.e. they are just STE enhanced. These are marked with '*'.

The main thing preventing Falcon programs from working is missing DSP emulation (and even of the programs working, many would use DSP for music). You can select between three different DSP emulation modes with the "--dsp" option:
The "dsp" column in tables below tells which DSP emulation mode needs to be used for the given program to work. If it doesn't matter, the column contains "-". Most programs work both with "none" and "dummy" setting, if they've been tested not to work with others, the value is followed with "!".
The column for whether the program works and whether it has (working) sound have "yes" when this is true and otherwise "-".
