(STE Emulating Engine)

The Freeware STE Emulator

Introduction

Steem is an open source Atari STE emulator for Windows and Linux. It runs almost every ST program ever made without any problems. Steem is designed to be easy to use and has many unique features. Whether you want to run great old games, use MIDI apps just like you did on the ST or you have some other, more sinister motive, Steem is the emulator for you!

To learn how to get Steem up and running read the beginners' guide.

If you're interested in the on-going development, you can access the source code and the project forum to see what's going on.

Steem was originally developed by Anthony and Russ Hayward. We haven't updated it since 2004 and we released the source code as open source in 2011. "Steven Seagal" has forked and continued to develop and improve Steem - see the Steem SSE SourceForge Page for more details.

12th April 2015 - Open Source Steem moved to Github

Steem has outlived Google Code and so we have migrated it to Github.

If you would like to be a committer to the project, send us your github username and we will add you.

11th August 2011 - Open Source Steem

Steem is now an open source project, hosted at Google Code.

We also now have a dedicated discussion forum where you can talk about ideas for further development, ports, forks, etc.
