- Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center - The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in any way.
- Missing d3dx9_43.dll | Microsoft Community - I downloaded World of Tanks, I hit play, it says "The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_43.dll is missing". Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I tried that twice, didn't work. Looked in system 32 folder, there is no d3dx9_43.dll, it goes from d3dx9_24.dll to d3dx9_32.dll.

- Test RAM
- YAART - RAM testing program | Atari-Forum - It always bothered me that RAM test software for the Atari was mostly very simplistic in their test algorithms. There are much better ways to find (especially subtle) faults, which are for example used by Memtest86 on the PC. So I ported a selection of these tests to Atari. I humbly named it YAART, Yet Another Atari RAM Test, but I think it provides better test coverage that the usual RAM test software for Atari systems.

- The LaST upgrade - PART 10 GemBench 6
- For many years GemBench has been one of the best benchmarking apps on the ST. Ofir Gal's last release was GB4 where he was kind enough to allow me to use his source code to update GemBench. After many weeks of work, GemBench5 was born and ultimately GB6.
