Hello,
I've just seen this in Cydia/iPhone.
It is Stella-3.4.2 based, and it's not a free app. (3$).
Any feedback ?
Thanks.

Not sure how it was accepted, since most emulators aren't accepted. In any event, unless the source is provided, it should be pulled. Note that selling Stella isn't against the rules; only doing so without providing source code is.

I asked the author if he was going to port Stella to iOS last week. Wow that was fast!
He makes the best emulator ports!!!
It is for Jailbroken devices via Cydia store 8), not on Apple's app store.
Oh, yeah, I've purchased it, and I would rate it 97/100. (Burgertime has the top numbers cut in half. I had a problem running frantic Stella. Did Dug didn't start, but a hack Dig Dug did.)
It is DPC+ on the iPad! ( I kinda thought he'd port an older version like PSP.)
Now I can show friends and family my latest batari basic DPC+ kernel work on my iPhone or iPad.
So far he has ported PCE (TG16), NES, SNES, MD (Sega), and more.

Hi there, I'm the developer of this recently released port. Currently it runs on Android, iOS, and WebOS, with other platforms possible in the future. It consists of a modified Stella emulation core with a new frontend written by me. You can find the source code to it and my other apps on my development page. I'm also interested in submitting some patches upstream to improve Stella's portability and make it easier to use the core functions without SDL present.
