The Atari ST MC68000 Assembly Language Tutorial
v0.84 by Perihelion. Introduction to m68k assembly programming and Atari ST subsystems (graphics, sound, keyboard etc..). It has alot of handouts and sources useful for beginning Atari programmers (m68k opcodes reference, memory map, m68k instruction timing tables ..). Pretty good as an introduction. |

MFP MC68901 delay mode desired frequency table [Hz]
Handout/reference for Atari ST MFP MC68901 timers programming (in pdf format). This goes for timers A,B,C and D in delay mode.
Feeding data register with given timer data value and setting proper timer division (4/10/16/50/64/100/200) will result in given frequency of interrupts (in Hz). |

Demo coding tutorial by James Ingram
A tutorial on how to do various demo techniques on Atari ST/STe, including busting all borders, "infinite sprites" and how to scroll the entire screen horizontally in 1/50th of a second. N.B. there is a bug in the code which means that the "includes" file MUST be in the root directory. Also a file is missing.. |

Atari ST(e)/TT/Falcon030/CT60/CT63 memory map
Atari F030 + CT60 Hardware Register Listing V2.1 March 2009
List and description of hardware registers found in 16/32-bit Atari computers
Probably based on version 7.0 (FINAL REVISION) - 1/22/94 By Dan Hollis
CT60 parts (probably) updated by R.Czuba/D.Mequignon
Very important and up to date reference of Atari memory map. A must have for every Atari programmer. Title is little misguiding, because this memory map is used across all Atari models to maintain software compatibility (only some features are not present). For more details see Atari Compendium, Atari ST Internals or Profibuch ST-STE-TT.

Atari Compendium (HYP format)
Definitive Atari 16/32 bit computers documentation (besides Profibuch). It's in english. Every subsystem found in Atari computers is well explained, some things are little outdated, about MiNT for example. It covers Falcon which is omitted in Profibuch. Package contains also system bindings for Lattice C and Pure C and example source codes from the book in txt files.
This version is in hyp format so you can view it on any Atari with ST-GUIDE accessory or HypView.
You can also view it online:
