I'm straight up. I do not like the new icon, it's out of place with most everything else.
But thanks for the .png graphic, save me from having to rip the old one out.

I think I may revert it for the next release. That icon is used on all other platforms, so I figured to make it consistent and put it in Windows as well. But I agree that it doesn't look as nice in Windows as on other systems. It looks particularly nice in OSX and Linux, though. It might be an issue of how Windows scales icons??

In Topic: Where did the Stella Tracker Go?

It has been down for several months now (for the second time). I forget some of the items on it now, so I've requested (a few times) to have it put up one last time so I can transition it to the Stella homepage directly.

For the Mac OS Intel binary, you might want to add Lion to the list of supported operating systems. It's not Snow Leopard only.

Thanks for the info. I didn't feel comfortable stating Lion, since I haven't actually tested it there yet.

Thank you very much for your hard work Stephen.
I prefer the old flat Atari logo icon instead of the new 3d one. Is it possible to select the old one?

Not easily from within the application itself, as it's compiled in. I assume you're using Windows? If so, you may be able to change the icon by right-clicking and selecting a new image. Attached is the old icon in PNG format.

In Topic: PAL60 ROMS

However there is a small amount of judder on the display - almost as if the kernel is starting at different lines in different frames - don't know if its just my TV. Feedback welcome on this one to see if it needs some more work. It flickers like buggery in my version of Stella but there's none of that on the real thing on my TV. I've had this effect before with some NTSC sources but I'm not getting the same effect with other games. It's a bit odd. It small enough so it doesn't put me off playing but I'd rather it wasn't there.

It flickers in Stella because it's a 30Hz ROM, and the phosphor effect isn't enabled for it. Try pressing Alt-p for a temporary fix. And edit the ROM properties settings for a permanent fix.

BTW, you can also use Alt-f to switch to PAL60 palette.
