****ibg Awesome!

Couple of issues:

It would be nice to have fullscreen(stretched) and scaled fullscreen(side black bars) options for video.

Also trying to make ant changes or even exit the options menu caused garbled screen/crash. Had to hard reboot.

Again though - thank you.

The emulator freezes on me every time I try to exit a game and go to the menu. I also have to do a hard reboot. I'm using kmeaw 3.55.

Other than that, though, great work and thanks for bringing us Stella

On 3.41 it´s the same,but the Emulation of the games is working great.

I don't get it. Every game I try to load, it kicks me back into XMB. Anybody got the same issues?

There was an issue where games that wanted PAL video modes would fail. It would want to set a video mode with more the 480 lines, but a hack in sdcell was set to lie and said that 480 was the largest video height. Stella couldn't get it's video mode and would abort.

Here is a new version, the PAL issue is fixed. And try as I might, I can't reproduce the crash that could occur when the video mode changes while loading a game/returning to the launcher anymore.

Hey Robo, thanks for your release! By the way, how's dosbox port going on?

[rstabbs71]

Thanks Robo, this is the reason I JB the PS3 in the first place, for the homebrew apps

a question though, does this run .bin files like the original Stella or .atr files? and also do we put them in an atari folder on the root of the usb or a stella folder? (sorry I'm out of town at the moment and it will be later in the week before I get back to check it out!)

It still gets locked up / garbled screen going back to the menu sometimes even on the second release.

H.E.R.O. By Activision causes it every time.

Hmm.. the only time I can reproduce this is after a fresh install before I set the default game directory. If I open the directory browser, then cancel, when I exit a game I get random colored text plus the 'this is your first time' dialog. If I choose a default directory then load a game and exit, I get just the random text. If I choose a default directory, exit to the XMB, then reload everything works as expected.
