Hataroid (Atari ST Emulator)

Hataroid is an open source Atari ST / STE emulator for Android.
A TOS image is currently required to run this program. Please place one on your device and choose it in the configuration menus.


- Current features include:


- ST and STE emulation
- High compatibility based off the Hatari core emulation
- Easy to use memory save states with thumbnails
- Support for saving to external SD card
- Game Database support
- Hardware input (joystick/keyboard) devices through Android IME methods.
- Hardware mouse support
- Built-in Software MIDI output support
- EXPERIMENTAL USB Midi Support (minimum Android 3.1 req)
- Color / Mono video modes
- On-screen Atari keyboard (freely positionable and scalable)

- Mount an Android folder as a hard disk (GemDos Hard disk support)
- Scanline and CRT shader rendering effects
- Pasti STX disc support

Required permission:


- read/write external storage. This is needed to read files from sdcard on newer versions of android (will later need this anyway for save state support).

This is an amazing app, almost perfect, but with only one major flaw for me: When you have an actual mouse attached, you get two cursors and one of them moves at a different rate to the other, especially different scalings on different axes. When your hardware cursor reaches screen-edge, you need to fiddle about with the mouse to get the software cursor to move. This is, quite literally, the only niggle I've found. Almost everything else is brilliant.

Very good emulator which I absolutely recommend. The only thing it doesn't do that I'd like is the ability to have a button on the right of the screen next to the fire button and mapped to 'joystick up' for platform games and racing games. Apart from that, flawless and excellent. EDIT: I just found out I can actually do this, so unreservedly recommended.

This Atari St emulator is super easy to use and has a bunch of useful features. Well laid out interface makes it easy to switch inputs and insert disks. It is very easy to make machine changes in the settings as well. Oh yeah, runs perfectly on my midrange phone. Games and programs, no problem. Highly recommended.

This is a great emulator, but will not work with Your Phone or Samsung DEX for allowing you to use your PC, mouse and keyboard to play full screen on a larger device. Minor issue. Basically, mouse and keyboard input doesn't translate from Dex to the Samsung phone to the emulator. I'm sure this could be fixed.

Hi, this really looks great. I have a stupid issue though, all the games I tried loaded perefectly but I don't know how to start playing, in joystick mode I press on fire, in keyboard mode I tried return and space but nothing seems to start the game. it only runs the demonstration. Please tell me which button is needed to start the game? thanks

Does exactly what it should. Does it very well indeed. Runs .st disk images with no mess, no fuss, bonds to a bluetooth controller with no issues. It's an ST, but in your pocket.

Its very easy to configure/setup, Has high compatibility (STE games refuses to work tho). The only drawback is its ui is not so user-friendly! (Its sad that this emulator is discontinued and will never be updated in the future)

Flawless emulator. Fantastic UI, so easy to use. Switching between joystick and mouse on the fly is effortless and the pop-up virtual keyboard is great. Many hours of nostalgic Atari ST fun to be had

Downloaded and ready to play but no games to load. I have a screen with disc drives a/b, mouse and joystick working with a keyboard but nothing to load and play. What's the next step as I'm stumped from this point. Think I built my hopes up that this was gonna be easy to use. Any advice will be helpful at this point.

Great piece of kit. Only prob so far though is deuteros the next millenium crashes at a certain point in the game. Playing on an Acer B1-730HD.

Hey guys, love the emulation however I cannot load any ipf files into it as it says this version doesnt support them?? I loaded the TOS image and tries the emu tos but still cannot get anywhere. Help?

Damn good app for playing back old Atari ST demos. Every single one tested ok. Can't wait to set up my old Xperia tablet to run ST games.

One of the best emulators out there, particularly this version on android, they got it down! 👌😎

I downloaded this to play Dungeon Master but the built-in EmuTos didn't work, had to get one from Steem instead.

Super easy to use! Very functional too!

Excellent and well-designed emulation

Del. S. Sep 24, 2020     

I have a bunch of ipf files that just won't play on this so that's a major bummer

Must be a computer expert to use.

Ale. R. Jun 27, 2020     

i cant play even 1 game with this

Ste. R. Jan 1, 2021     

Totally worth it.

I. l. P. Nov 27, 2018     

Love it

Tha. L. Sep 13, 2018     

This works with everything I throw at it, even demo's. A well laid out design with a lot of thought and consideration going into the options and smooth running of emulating everything thrown it's way. The new disk loading sounds add a new layer of nostalgia and authenticity. Well done devs.

Dav. N. Jul 29, 2018     

Love the portrait view on the latest update. You ought to enable the floppy sounds by default - they really work well.

What a piece of junk! It could be me, but way to confusing to access and seems really schetchy.
