Is it possible to run most (all?) Atari ST games on the Falcon 030?

Its hit and miss although many games that didn't work before have now been patched thanks to the wonders of the internet.

Here's a couple of sites you'll need to check out if you want patched games:

Other games may run with the assistance of compatibility software such as Hole.
Happy gaming!

There are some programs supporting it - Hole is little obsolete. They set what can, but for many games you need corrections in code, because different CPU : Stack frame related, pipeline related (writing to near RAM, when content is already fetched) + many others. The, there are sometimes silly bugs in code, which make problems only on Falcon, TT.
Beside CPU, there are some other diferences: video, Timer-A .
