Good job Ultra!
  
Serious hardware mod job, and then some fine code to demonstrate it!
  
yep
  
Schön :)
  
the amount of work & skill to build such hardware extension is just mind blowing. Congrats!
  
ultra!
  
Very colourfull. I also enjoyed much the cloth/string effect!
  
cool,

if this prod is a fake, some info is false or the download link is broken,
do not post about it in the comments, it will get lost.

... and now ... for something completely different...
The demo uses a FPGA based video hardware modification (ultraBooST) for the Atari 1040 STE created by us.
The hardware is able to create new screen modes with up to 3 layers each 256 colors out of 16,78mio colors, chunky modes, helps out the 68k with 3d math and flat poly filling/line drawing and in the end all is outputted to HDMI.
Of course the demo will not run on a standard Atari STE.
To watch the demo at your home we created a special version of Steem (Windows only) which is able to emulate all ultraBooST hardware features... A 68k library is included too if you want to do something with it.
Want more infos how it works and how it is done?, early development previews and pictures? Check: http://ultradev.ultrafex.de/ultraboost.html
Steem and api page can be found here (not done yet):
