    • Acceptable Material
      If it is a review it has to be one of a game or emulator.
      If it is a guide/manual it has to do with emulation(how to use an emulator etc), not a game.
      New releases - Keep in mind that we check other sites regularly for those ourselves.
    • Necessary Requirements
      You may not copy content written by another person and claim it as your own. Any material found to be breaking that requirement will be removed.
    • Images
      You may use as may images as you like. At first you will have to host them to one of the many free image hosting services available. Once your material is officially posted we will copy them on the server.

Stella 2.4

cibomatto2002

Windows 10
Stella release 2.4 for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows is now available. Ports to other operating systems will be released as they become available. A partial list of features is:

* Added new video sub-system where fullscreen and windowed modes are treated differently. Windowed modes now use '-zoom_tia' and '-zoom_ui' arguments, while fullscreen modes can be specified by resolution using the new '-fullres' argument.
* Widescreen video modes are now supported; Stella will simply center the image with surrounding black borders.
* Many UI-related changes, including resizable ROM launcher and debugger windows, and a new UI palette (the previous 'classic' palette is still available). This is still a work in progress.
* The locations of all major config files (statedir, palette file, cheat file, properties file, etc) are now configurable from the commandline and within the UI.
* Updates to TIA palette support. Added SECAM support, and removed the built-in 'original' palette. Standard, z26, and user are still available.
* Various bugfixes to some debugger commands. The 'run' command no longer causes a crash, and several others have better error-checking.
* Added more complete cartridge auto-detection for Commavid (CV), 3E, 3F and Activision (FE) formats.
* Removed XStart and Width ROM properties, since the forthcoming TIA rework won't be using them.
* Reworked internal storage of ROM properties to be faster and take up less space.
* Added several different ways of stretching the OpenGL image to the '-gl_fsmax' argument, for more flexibility.
* Removed OpenGL aspect ratio setting favour of the previously mentioned video changes. We'll see how this goes.
* Removed dirty-rect support from software rendering, since it was actually sub-optimal in Windows and OSX and defaulted to off in previous versions.
* Added support for gzipped ROMs.
* Re-added pause support.
* Re-added support for Windows 98.
* Removed support for 'STELLA_BASEDIR' environment variable, since each config file can be now configured separately.
* Removed '-fastscbios' argument, since it must always be turned on.
* Removed PSP support, since it hasn't been updated in over a year, and someone else is maintaining another port elsewhere.
* For the Unix/Linux port; fixed 'make install' issues, and changed icon to PNG format.
