-Hatari started as an adaption of the free -WinSTon source code -to Linux (WinSTon is a ST emulator for Windows). -But since WinSTon's CPU core was written in i86 assembler, it was not possible -to use it for Hatari as Hatari is intended to be platform independent. -So the CPU core of UAE -was used for Hatari instead, because this CPU core has been written in -portable C and also has some nice features like 68040 and FPU support. +Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a good +environment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardware +of a ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old ST games +and demos. Of course you can run normal GEM applications with Hatari, too.
