Playing Atari ST Music on Amiga
Some users have found a way to play Atari ST music on the Amiga with zero CPU usage.
I was in a Dutch demo group first for msx and then amiga, then dropped out of low level dev; the amiga coprocessors I still miss.
This is a significant achievement, as it allows Amiga users to enjoy Atari ST music without sacrificing performance.
I went to PC as everyone did and definitely at the beginning thought: what is this garbage??? We lived in the future and then it was taken from us for a while.
This sentiment is shared by many who switched from Amiga to PC.
