Stella DS is a port of the Atari 2600 emulator Stella to the DS. So far it supports loading and executing ROMs, an optimized framebuffer, and joystick controls via the D pad and A button. Changes:

8.29.05 – Preliminary sound work.
Split project into ARM7 and ARM9 parts. Waded through the TIA/SDL sound source code. It’s going to be tough.

On the other hand, I added support for the Game Select/Reset switches so that games such as Adventure are playable. Use the L and R buttons respectively to invoke the switches. In addition, the screen is now scaled 1.5x horizontally to almost fill the whole bottom screen.

I’ve noticed the recent publicity that I have been getting. Thanks for supporting my project! As requested, I am now numbering releases and naming them accordingly. Stella DS 0.41 is the current version. Grab it from the downloads section and enjoy!

Stella DS is a port of the Atari 2600 emulator Stella to the DS. So far it supports loading and executing ROMs, an optimized framebuffer, and joystick controls via the D pad and A button. Changes:

8.28.05 – Framebuffer optimized. Version 0.4

The emulator has been quite optimized and plays at a smooth playable speed now thanks to a faster framebuffer drawing routine. I will continue to work on it though and add sound.

I need to order a Wifi card to do more complete experimentation because there’s pretty much no hope at all of getting a replacement Neo Flash.

Thanks GPFerror and DesktopMan for some help with the DS graphics code. Feel free to try some optimization of your own! 🙂
