The GTIA Report

From The Official Site of Benjamin J Heckendorn:

What happens when you take 2 great tastes and mix ‘em together? Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for one, and my new NEStari for another.

Stella: “A multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator”

Notable changes:

• 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.
• Added more complete cartridge auto-detection for Commavid (CV), 3E, 3F and Activision (FE) formats.
• Added support for gzipped ROMs.
• Re-added pause support.
• Re-added support for Windows 98.
