Stella 2.3.5
|
||||
Ported to GP2X by Alex Zaballa
|
||||
Contact: azaballa@users.sourceforge.net
|
||||
Homepage: http://stella.sourceforge.net
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Changes:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
>From 2.3
|
||||
* All menus are now available through the Options button in the
|
||||
Launcher.
|
||||
* Pause function has been removed, pressing a menu button serves
|
||||
the same function.
|
||||
* Vertical Centering during gameplay is now implemented.
|
||||
* UI Color Schemes are now implemented. At the moment there's only
|
||||
Classic and GP2X. More are coming in the future. ;)
|
||||
>From 2.2-rv1
|
||||
* Moved away from using joymouse emulation, which was frustrating
|
||||
many users, to a more effective GUI button control scheme.
|
||||
* PAL ROMs are now playable thanks to Paeryn's scaling libs. ;)
|
||||
* Paddle games like 'Tac-scan,' 'Demons to Diamonds,' 'Video
|
||||
Olympics,' and others are now playable thanks to Steve.
|
||||
* Made '/mnt/sd' the default ROM and Snapshot directory this way
|
||||
Stella doesn't look anywhere it shouldn't.
|
||||
* Changed button mapping.
|
||||
* Various performance tweaks.
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.2
|
||||
* Ms. Pacman sound issue resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.1-rv3
|
||||
* Added Rom Browser mode and enabled it by default.
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.1-rv2
|
||||
* Scroll bug fixed (finally).
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.1-rv1
|
||||
* Warlords graphics bug fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.1
|
||||
* Joystick fixed.
|
||||
* Phosphor effect enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
>From 2.0.1:
|
||||
* Stopped using the ROM Script (No more ROM limit. 'Single binary'
|
||||
zip support available.).
|
||||
* Opened up the Native GUI for use through Joymouse Emulation.
|
||||
* SOUND!
|
||||
* Diagonals.
|
||||
* Snapshots.
|
||||
* Some button mapping (but still comfortably familiar).

|
||||
Known Bugs:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
None reported.
|
||||
Please report all bugs to me at azaballa@users.sourceforge.net.
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
Known GP2X Performance Issues:
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
Pitfall 2 runs slow due to the need for extra hardware emulation.
|
||||
Steve foresees this being fixed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Installation to GP2X:
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Note: Stella for the GP2X does not need external SDL libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
Place files 'stella' and 'stella.gpe' into its own directory.
|
||||
Stella defaults to '/mnt/sd' for the ROM and Snapshot directory.
|
||||
This can be changed by using the 'Options' button in the Launcher
|
||||
menu. If you are having issues with getting Stella to run after
|
||||
an older install, delete the 'stellarc' file located in the root
|
||||
Stella install folder.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
Navigation:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The joystick selects item by item in a list. In menu mode, VOL+ and
|
||||
VOL- highlight the next and previous GUI elements respectively.
|
||||
Pressing B activates the highlighted GUI element. Pressing START
|
||||
or X is equivalent to clicking Cancel or Close. Pressing SELECT is
|
||||
equivalent to clicking OK. To move to the previous directory without
|
||||
the 'Go Up' button, just use the '[..]' item at the top of the ROM
|
||||
Browser list. For complete button mapping, check below.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
GP2X Mapping:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Navigating Menus:
|
||||
A = Previous Tab
|
||||
B = Select GUI Item
|
||||
X = Menu Cancel
|
||||
Y = Next Tab
|
||||
L = Page Up
|
||||
R = Page Down
|
||||
START = Menu Cancel
|
||||
SELECT = Menu OK
|
||||
VOL+ = Navigate to Next GUI Button (or other GUI element)
|
||||
VOL- = Navigate to Previous GUI Button (or other GUI element)
|
||||
During Emulation:
|
||||
A = Command Menu
|
||||
B = Fire
|
||||
X = <Not Used>
|
||||
Y = Settings Menu
|
||||
L = Console Reset
|
||||
R = Console Select
|
||||
START = Launcher Menu
|
||||
SELECT = Snapshot
|
||||
|
||||
Caution: Changing video and audio settings could lead to a non-working Stella
|
||||
setup. If you do feel the need to change the settings (as we all do) and happen
|
||||
to cause a crash or hang, delete the 'stellarc' file and that should clear up
|
||||
the problem. If anyone finds any settings that give better performance in
|
||||
sound and gameplay, let me know and I might incorporate them into the next
|
||||
version. Happy tinkering.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Other:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
For user friendly ROM names, try out Cowering's Good2600. It is a reliable
|
||||
and easy to use ROM renamer. It has a nifty Windows frontend and will also
|
||||
work under Linux when used with Wine (wineconsole). Check accompanying
|
||||
documentation for further details.
|
||||
|
||||
GoodTools is available from Cowering's homepage and at http://archive.gp2x.de/.
|
||||
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Compile Info:
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
Since the GP2X branch was so graciously added to Stella, GP2X compilation is
|
||||
now built in. If you plan on doing a compile yourself, you need the GP2X devkit
|
||||
pro and SDL Open2X libs with zlib support. I recommend theoddbot's Open2X
|
||||
libraries which work very nicely for this. Paeryn's are also a must (combine
|
||||
them with theoddbot's). Any questions, email me.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure your path includes your arm-linux compilers and tools:
|
||||
export PATH=<your arm-linux compiler path>:$PATH
|
||||
|
||||
This is what my configure line looks like:
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
--enable-cheats
|
||||
--disable-debugger
|
||||
--host=gp2x
|
||||
--with-zlib-prefix=<your gp2x zlib path>
|
||||
--with-sdl-prefix=<your sdl config path>
|
||||
--x-libraries=<your X11 libraries path>
|
||||
|
||||
Then:
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
Then strip the exec:
|
||||
make gp2x-strip
|
||||
|
||||
You should get an exec ~2MB in size. Much better than 7MB right?
|
||||
|
||||
To gather all necessary files into directory './stella/gp2x' for easy
|
||||
access, type:
|
||||
make gp2x-organize
|
||||
|
||||
Note: stella/gp2x directory created in the main stella source directory
|
||||
(next to configure, Makefile, etc.).

|
||||
|

... is the official Windows CE port of the Stella emulator. It is coded
|
||||
and maintained by Kostas Nakos (knakos.AT.gmail.com). Currently, supported
|
||||
devices are all Smartphones (176x220 & QVGA), and Pocket PCs (QVGA & VGA).
|
||||
This port makes use of the excellent STLport cross platform C++ template library.
|
||||
Here are some news for you:
|
||||
|
||||
(This file last updated: 29 Jan 07)
|
||||
|
||||
v.2.3.5 : support for QGVA landscape smartphones,
|
||||
greatly improved UI rendering for low res smartphones,
|
||||
keyboard events can be now arbitrarily remapped,
|
||||
UI menus accessibility in smartphones
|
||||
v.2.2 : native VGA support, better backlight handling
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installing and Running:
|
||||
First create a directory for PocketStella, and copy the executable in it.
|
||||
Also create a subdirectory called "Roms" (without the quotes, of course).
|
||||
You should place your rom files there. On first run, this is where
|
||||
PocketStella will look for roms. You can set an alternate path using the
|
||||
dialogs.
|
||||
|
||||
Warning for users of previous versions:
|
||||
There have been three significant changes in PocketStella. First, you no
|
||||
longer need the zlibce.dll inside the emulator directory. The library
|
||||
is statically linked in the executable and can be safely deleted.
|
||||
Second, the stella.pro is also no longer needed as its functionality
|
||||
has been included in the emulator core. Please delete this file as well
|
||||
as it leads to increased load times. The stella.cache is also no longer
|
||||
needed. You can delete this as well.
|
||||
Third, it is best to delete your already existing stella.ini file when
|
||||
upgrading to this version.
|
||||
|
||||
Controls:
|
||||
You can remap the action each button performs by using the UI menus.
|
||||
The default keymap is:
|
||||
|
||||
A. Smartphones
|
||||
|
||||
DPad Up, Down, Left, Right : Menus -> Up, Down, Page Up, Page Down $
|
||||
Emulation -> Joystick 0 or Paddle 0 emulation $
|
||||
Dpad Start (or Enter) : Emulation -> Reset
|
||||
Softkey A : Menus -> Select (mouse click)
|
||||
Emulation -> Fire Joystick/Paddle 0
|
||||
Softkey B : Menus -> Focus next item (tab) #
|
||||
Emulation -> In game menu #
|
||||
Softkey C (usually *) : Emulation -> Select
|
||||
Backspace (arrow key) : Menus -> Cancel
|
||||
Emulation -> Back to launcher
|
||||
Call/Talk/Green button : Emulation -> Rotate display
|
||||
|
||||
($): These buttons follow screen orientation.
|
||||
(#): This key cannot be reassigned.
|
||||
|
||||
B. Pocket PCs
|
||||
Pocket PC users get the same actions as Smartphone users attributed to
|
||||
their keys, except the Call key. You can use the stylus to fully access
|
||||
all menus and also:
|
||||
|
||||
Stylus drag : Emulation -> Emulate Paddle 0
|
||||
Tap top left : Emulation -> Bring up menu
|
||||
Tap bottom left : Emulation -> Back to Launcher
|
||||
Tap bottom right : Emulation -> Rotate display
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Build instructions:
|
||||
The build environment of evc3 has maximum compatibility, but the emulator
|
||||
can certainly be built using evc4 of higher. The following instructions
|
||||
pertain to evc3. wince2002 does not include support for C++ STL, so I use
|
||||
STLport. Get the latest release (I used the CVS version which has wince
|
||||
support) and build it. Copy the two folders under the bin directory into
|
||||
a folder named stlport in the src\wince of stella (the .lib files).
|
||||
Also get the SDL library and copy the include files into a folder named sdl
|
||||
in src\wince. Get zconf.h and zlib.h of the zlib library and copy them in a
|
||||
folder named zlib in src\wince. Further, copy the arm and x86 zlibce.lib files
|
||||
into their respective src\wince\zlib\arm and src\wince\zlib\x86 folders.
|
||||
Finally, you need to add the includes directory of stlport (stlport\) to
|
||||
the default searched include directories. To do this use the dialog box:
|
||||
Tools->Options->Directories->Include files. The stlport include dir should
|
||||
be listed here before all other paths. To be able to emulate in the x86
|
||||
emulator you also need the GAPI emulation.
|
||||
Things are much easier in Visual Studio 2005. No external C++ STL library
|
||||
is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun :-)
