Atari 2600 Emulator Stella

Hi Everyone,

Is there anyone interested in porting the Atari 2600 emulator Stella to AmigaOs 4. There is an old port for AmigaOS 3 on aminet.

With the release of the Atari 2600+ it would be nice to have a working Atari 2600 emulator running on AmigaOs 4.

Also, thanks to everyone that has brought us so many great emulator to AmigaOS 4.

I find myself looking for it from time to time too. Anyone?

MagicSN is porting the retroarch frontend, maybe you can ask him if a stella core os4 port can be done, but he's already got a lot on his plate.

That's nice and all but I'd still like a stand-alone version. I have it ported for Wii, it's available for MOS so I thought that maybe it would be quick to port it.

No hurry though and I believe that Steffen got enough to do as it is.

To me it just seems like one of those emulators that should've been ported long ago. A bit supriced that it hasn't happened yet.

@davebraco

I think that not everyone wants or needs the whole package of retroarch for one
or two emulators.

@davebraco

Narc. The avatar to start with. It's like some joke to them.

Also, talk about something that is OT, didn't ask about RetroArch.

Also talk about that because of narc-reasons.

And offcourse they always have more Amiga-systems than the regular Amiga-user. Because then they win and everyone will automatically believe anything they say is how the think. More is better to them.

It's fascinating how a simple offer of help can be interpreted in so many different ways... especially when one doesn't know the motivations or the facts. My suggestion was just to offer a potential solution for Stella.

@hotrod
I'll leave you to your narc delusions.

Aaaand the reply with accusations of delusions seals the deal. All the proof needed.

Hi Everyone,

So....is anyone interested in porting this to AmigaOS 4.1. We could use this emulator to add to are other great emulators!

If it doesn't has to be a standalone, I have in meantime a RetroArch core for OS4 which implements Stella2014 (Stella2023 Core does not work yet, but I am trying). Still has the flaw of a crash on exit, but before I look at that, I try if I cannot make Stella2023 Core link.

Great work! You take what you can get so if that's the only option at least there is one.

I managed to fix the Crash on exit of stella2014
Core (should also work with NeoGeoCD Core which
also had this Problem) but this will require recompile
of all os4 cores. Will look to do this on weekend.

Firstly, I would like to mention that someone reads the forum posts and tries to take action, even when there are no comments.
Today was my last day of holiday (it was rainy after a long trip), so I decided to do something with Stella under AOS4.
This post does not interfere with the @TheMagicSN RetroArch project. Please use his version and support the @TheMagicSN project in recognition of his hard work.
However, if anyone cannot use RetroArch for various reasons, I can provide this version.
It is an older version of Stella SDL1 3.9.3 which works on QEMU with PEG2 and SM502.
It should work fine on a real Amiga

Greetings!


PS
My favourite game on the Atari 2600 is River Raid.

It was my first console, and I will be happy to test it. Udostępniaj!

Yeay!!!!!!! It's been missing for so long, thank you so much!

I'd like to say that I think that there is absolutely room for both standalone and retroarch. On my verious units I have both. Sometimes it's convenient to use retroarch but sometimes you just want to use one emulator directly. I've paid to support retroarch since I think that it's absolutely great. Anyhow this emulator has been really missing for so long, you go looking and kinda expects it to be there because it's available on everything and it's missing (not on MOS) so it's awsome to finally have a version for AOS as well.

@smarkusg

Link? 😁

@smarkusg:

Recently a lot seems to be moving on Enulators
on AmigaOS, no matter if my or your or someone Elses project.

Congrats on the port. I always have warm memories about the 2600.
Asides from a few Games on spectrum it was my first real touch to computer/console
games.

The downloadable version is available here.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for this! I am so glad we have this emulator!
