Hi All,
Here is an Atari VCS 2600 emulator for DS and DSi (compiled with last libnds and devkitpro), a port from Stella Emulator.
To use this emulator, you must use compatibles rom with a26/bin format.
Do not ask me about such files, I don't have them. A search with Google will certainly help you.

Controls :
* Direction pad : the joystick ...
* A : Fire button
* X : Left Difficulty A/B
* Y : Color / Black&White Switch
* R : RESET (yes R like Reset tongue.gif)
* L : Change controller (paddle / joystick)
* SELECT : SELECT Trigger
* START : Show FPS

Vidéo :

Some screenshots :



Download : StellaDS V1.2

Of course, i'm releasing the source code because I am not the original author of Stella Emulator : StellaDS source code

QUOTE
V1.2 : 06/06/2011
* Change screen height when switching from PAL <> NTSC
* Add fps display with START button
* Add stylus management for paddle

Nice! Glad to find it works with Sudokuhax, as I share an SD card between my hacked wii and DSi and therefore already had the complete 2600 set installed.

Great! So many great things have come out of this homebrew competition. GBA and 2600 emus, remakes of games, many homebrew games, etc. At first I didn't see the point in this homebrew competition, but now its just so obvious! Hope to see a similar contest next year, and good luck with this emulator.

MY.GOD.YES.

I have to wonder if alekmaul read this at all?

OK, I take back part of my last post - perhaps handy isn't the easiest to port.

What we need is a better port of STELLA.

The file selection is so damn broken in StellaDS that you often load the rom below or above the one selected, and the load times....load an atari game in stellaDS and laugh your ass off as you watch how long it takes to load a file that's a few KBs big.

Many, Many, Many thanks for this one. This should bring back many memories from when I was a kid.

good work yay.gif I love the interface on the bottom screen. A quick suggestion, can you clear up the sound some. It crackles a lot, not that i am complaining . You have done a way better job than i would've. Thank you for the EMU. gbasp.gif

alekmaul I hope you don't mind, but I have added rom loading via launch arguments so that other menus can be used for loading roms.

The updated source + binary can be found HERE.

The only change I made was to add:
CODE

//load rom file via args if a rom path is supplied
if(argc > 1)
{
dsShowScreenMain();
dsLoadGame(argv[1]);
etatEmu = STELLADS_PLAYINIT;
}


to main.cpp before dsMainLoop();

does it take both .a26 and .bin? I've got two atari sets but it would take ages to get to the game I want via the huge a26 one.

In the readme.txt we can read :

Tons of love! The previous version actually ran certain games slowly!
