Stella developers announced this past weekend the immediate availability for download of the first point release in the Stella 4.7 series of the free, open-source and cross-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator.Īccording to the release notes (attached at the end of the article for reference), Stella 4.7.1 is a relatively small maintenance build that mainly fixes some of the issues reported by users since the previous version, Stella 4.7, such as a paddle range bug with the ROMs for the Medieval Mayhem game developed for the Atari 2600 video game console.Īdditionally, the development team patched some issues with the Stelladaptor/2600-daptor controllers and paddles, which Linux users reported having large deadzones.
