The first model had a limited release in April 1985, with wider availability later in July. The monochrome display retailed for $799.99 USD ($2,063.94 in 2021), with the color display retailing for $999.99. Later models would be capable of outputting to standard TV sets. The last model was discontinued in 1993. Notable titles include Dungeon Master, Oids, Sundog and MIDI Maze. Although this price might seem high by today's standards, it was actually one of the more affordable computers for the time. This, plus offering an all-around superior monochrome display in general, made it quite successful in the business market. The "ST" stands for Sixteen Thirty-two, in reference to the 16 and 32-bit components it utilizes. It's also been said to be the initials of Sam Tramiel, the son of Jack Tramiel, who was president of Atari at the time.

The most common cores use the [[https://www.libretro.com/|libretro]] API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as "libretro: (core name)". RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform. === RetroArch configuration === RetroArch offers a **Quick Menu** accessed by pressing ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} which can be used to alter various things like [[:advanced_retroarch_settings|RetroArch and core options]], and [[:remapping_controls_per_emulator|controller mapping]]. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation. Standardized features available to all libretro cores: ''atarist.videomode'', ''atarist.ratio'', ''atarist.smooth'', ''atarist.shaders'', ''atarist.decoration'', ''atarist.game_translation'' ^ ES setting name ''batocera.conf_key'' ^ Description => ES option ''key_value'' ^ ^ Settings that apply to all cores of this emulator || | **GRAPHICS API ''atarist.gfxbackend''** | Choose which graphics API library to use.

Libretro has a [[https://docs.libretro.com/library/hatari/#getting-started-with-hatari|quick guide on their documentation site]]. For more in-depth issues, read on. To quote [[http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/docs.html|Hatari's FAQ page]]: > * Many ST games often need a certain TOS version to run right. Old games often only work with TOS 1.00 or TOS 1.02, so you should try these TOS versions first. If the game still does not work, you should also try TOS 1.04 and 2.06. Some games also either need a NTSC (US American) or a PAL (European) TOS, so it might be useful to test these different types, too. > * There are also some games which do not work in STE mode - but there are also some few games which only work in STE mode and not in ST mode. So changing the machine type might be worth a try, too. > * Some games also need certain RAM sizes, for example some games do not work with 4 MB memory size! > * And finally, try to enable the "Slower but more compatible CPU" and/or disable the "Patch Timer-D" in the system options dialog. This slightly increases compatibility with the real ST. In some few cases you also have to enable the "Slow floppy access" option in the floppy options dialog to mimic the speed of the original floppy disk drive. The [[http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/doc/manual.html|full manual]] offers more insight.
