Stella est un excellent émulateur Atari VCS 2600 multi-platformes, releasé sous licence GPL. A la base, le projet a été développé pour Linux par Bradford W. Mott, cependant de nombreuses personnes ont rejoint l’équipe de développement pour porter Stella sur différents systèmes d’exploitation tels qu’AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, GP2X, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, et Windows (ouf!).
Cette version inclut les binaires 32 et 64 bits.
