IMAGES

No games are available for download from this site. There is a single Pasti image here. It is the image
of the Union Demo, one of the very few copy protected demos. Use the -stfmborder option to run this
demo under Steem.

NOTE: All current Pasti images were made with beta tools and therefore should be considered beta
images. It is possible that these images will not be compatible with the final non-beta release of
Pasti.Dll and other Pasti tools.

PASTI.DLL

Pasti.Dll is the emulation helper tool for Windows. It extends Atari ST emulators, adding support for
extended disk images. These disk images support exotic, custom, and copy-protected formats. You can
now use emulators to run ST software in its original uncracked form.

Fast Growing Hierarchy Calculator Fixed Instant

Extreme coders compete to write the shortest program that approximates large FGH values using the fewest bytes.

None of these calculators is a polished end‑user tool; they are proof‑of‑concept implementations aimed at exploring the hierarchy’s computational properties. fast growing hierarchy calculator

By the time you reach , you are at the limit of primitive recursive functions (Ackermann function territory). By f_ε₀(n) , you surpass the proof-theoretic strength of Peano arithmetic. Extreme coders compete to write the shortest program

: Because (f_\alpha(n)) quickly exceeds the capacity of standard integer types, a calculator must use big‑integer arithmetic or symbolic output. For large (\alpha), the numbers are so vast that even symbolic representation (like Knuth’s up‑arrow towers) becomes unwieldy. By f_ε₀(n) , you surpass the proof-theoretic strength

SOFTWARE PRESERVATION

Our main goal is the preservation of Atari software in its original unmodified form. Original
software is normally stored on diskettes with custom format or copy protection. Standard
tools cannot back up or image them. But floppy disk recording have a limited life time. It
won't take too long until all original Atari disks will be damaged and lost.

Pasti and programs without on-disk copy protection.

Pasti is also involved for the preservation of disks with no on-disk copy protection. These disks can be
imaged with standard tools and stored as standard ST images (ST/MSA). But standard tools can't verify
the condition of the disk. Then a plan ST image might be taken from a disk that is damaged or modified
