jetset Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Is it just me? I can get to the linked page, but the page for downloads doesnt seem to be working..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Wow! Downloading... Ive always been more keen on Z26 than Stella. But if I can now play Pitfall 2 with sound and not to mention the Save States functions it will be great !.. I saw a Screenshot of Supercharger Frogger or something. That isnt Atari 2600 surely... Does Stella Emulation another system besides Atari 2600 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Wow! I really liked it!. Its about time I upgraded my Stella version ! Its now hard to tell which is better Stella or Z26 ? But I noticed pressing F9 and F11 is your Save States. And the way that may the Space Bar as your fire Button was a good idea. Well done to the Stella Team!

+SpiceWare Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I saw a Screenshot of Supercharger Frogger or something.That isnt Atari 2600 surely... Does Stella Emulation another system besides Atari 2600 ? Yep, it's the Atari - I've a screen capture of that Frogger version on my OS/2 port page as well. They'd figured out a lot of the tricks by the time the Supercharger games were written. No, Brad had talked about adding 7800 support at one time but nothings come of it yet.

Sharky Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I just checked Supercharger Frogger. If its "Supercharger" like loaded from Cassette tape, does this game come in Parts ? Like..

Are you unzipping the games? Stella can't read zipfiles. Roms from The Old Computer don't need to be unzipped. http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/E...rom_summary.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crab Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 yes i unziped them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hm...did you move them into the roms folder? Sometimes when moving things, Explorer will just create a shortcut to the item instead of actually moving them (hold the shift key down to make sure that the file itself is moved).

crab Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 yes i tried that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Odd...it should work. Even if you don't have the current stella.pro file, the .bin's should show up (?). Can you list exactly what you've done (and what your system is like)...beginning with downloading Stella itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
