Stella v4.0 is released. Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator. The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!
Stella v4.0 changelog:
* Ported Stella to SDL2, which brings many new features. Among the largest improvements is native hardware acceleration support for Windows (Direct3D) and Linux/OSX (OpenGL). It is also now possible to port Stella to iOS and Android devices using OpenGLES. Hardware acceleration is now required, which means up-to-date drivers are needed. Software rendering is still present, but is somewhat unoptimized and unsupported going forward. * Fullscreen video modes now use the desktop resolution. Switching to fullscreen and back to windowed mode no longer rearranges icons on your desktop. * TIA TV effects are now available in all video modes, since hardware acceleration is a requirement. * Added a much more detailed view of cart extended RAM to a new debugger tab. Special thanks to SpiceWare for this implementation. * Added preliminary support for 'DASH' bankswitching scheme by A. Davie. * The AtariVox and SaveKey controllers now have the ability in the debugger to completely erase the virtual EEPROM data. * Added 'savesnap' debugger prompt command, and also associated context menu item to the debugger TIA output area. This saves the current TIA image to a PNG file. * Added 'hidecursor' commandline option, which allows to completely disable showing the mouse cursor (useful on systems that don't have a mouse). * Removed 'uipalette' option, as the original palette is no longer supported. * Updated included PNG library to latest stable version. -Have fun! |
