The Atari2600 emulator Stella has been updated. Here are the changes in this version:
  • Updated the sound system. All popping and cracking sounds that previously occurred at program start/stop and when entering/exiting menu or pause mode have been eliminated.
  • Fixed the gl_fsmax argument to mean "switch to desktop resolution on fullscreen OpenGL", instead of to the maximum possible resolution (the two are not always the same).
  • Added Alt [ and Alt ] keys to dynamically adjust the sound volume during emulation.
  • Added Control 0, Control 1, Control 2, Control 3 keys to dynamically change which paddle the mouse should emulate.
  • Added video_driver argument. This accepts the different options that can be specified for SDL_VIDEODRIVER (see SDL homepage for more information). Basically, it eliminates the need to set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable.
  • Made sure screen is refreshed before taking a snapshot. This eliminates the problem with new snapshots containing the text "Snapshot saved".
  • For the Windows port; added windib and directx as options for 'video_driver' when using software rendering. The 'windib' option is now the default, and in many cases it's up to 10 times faster than using 'directx'.
  • For the OSX port; added 'Cmd-R' key to reload the currently loaded ROM.
You can get it from here.
