Welcome to an official home page of SAP Slight's Atari
Player. This player is capable to play various music, composed and created on Atari XL/XE
computers. Current version works only with Windows95/98. Future versions will be released
with full source code, so SAP, propably, will be available for more systems like Linux,
BeOS, AtariST TOS, Amiga OS, MacOS, and various Unix based systems. This is also official
page for songs in .SAP file format. Currently there are available almost 200 songs ripped
from various games and demonstrations.

- 99% of Pokey emulation
- 99% of CPU emulation
- emulation of additional registers (ANTIC - $D40A, $D40B)
- can play digitalizated sounds
- can play faster (slower) than 1/50s
What's "not" in current version ?:
- Pokey timers are not emulated
- 9bit poly is not emulated (17bit poly is used instead)

construction
