Stella 3.8

Description

Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Stella was originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott, and is currently maintained by Stephen Anthony. Since its original release several people have joined the development team to port Stella to other operating systems such as AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, and Windows. The development team is working hard to perfect the emulator and we hope you enjoy our effort.

Changelog

3.7.5 to 3.8: (February 21, 2013)

  • Huge changes to the sound system:
    • The sound code now uses 16-bit signed samples instead of 8-bit unsigned samples, making it more compatible with a wider variety of systems.
    • Improved sound output for several ROMs, including "Space Rocks" (the 'heartbeat' sound can now be clearly heard).
    • The 'volume clipping' option has been removed, since in 16-bit mode it's no longer needed.
    • The 'Tia freq' option has been removed.
    • Selecting more common sample rates (other than 31400) now works much better, but there are still a few ROMS (like Quadrun) where 31400Hz still works best.
