STEArcade — AI skill for Claude Code

AI community

Arcade games ported to an unexpanded 8 MHz Atari STE, developed with AI coding agents (Claude Code).

What STEArcade does

Arcade games ported to an unexpanded 8 MHz Atari STE, developed with AI coding agents (Claude Code). Z80, 6809, V30 and MCU code is statically translated to 68000 and checked frame by frame against a reference machine built from MAME; the Blitter draws tiles and sprites.

README

Arcade games on the Atari STE

Static translation of Z80 and 6809 arcade programs to 68000 code, with a Blitter based renderer, running on an unexpanded 8 MHz Atari STE (4 MB). Each port is a reference machine written from the MAME driver, a whole-program translation checked against it in lock-step, and a runtime that delivers the arcade's interrupts at the vertical blank and draws the arcade's tiles and sprites (sprites with the Blitter: one blit per sprite line, masks as end masks).

This project is developed with AI coding agents (Claude Code): much of the translators, runtimes, tools and documentation was written by them under the author's direction. Correctness is checked by testing rather than by trust: every translation runs in lock-step against its reference machine, and the pictures are compared with the reference renderer and MAME.
