The Atari 2600 Video Computer System has been extremely popular in the 1980’s, and there are many people that still enjoy playing the classic games developed for the console, even though the technology is outdated. Stella is a simple emulator ported to macOS that enables you to play your favorite Atari games on your brand new Mac.

The Stella emulator installs on your Mac like most other macOS utilities: all you have to do is drag and drop its icon on top of the Applications directory. Once launched, Stella enables you to navigate your disk in order to find the ROM images for the Atari 2600 games.

Moreover, via the Stella Options panel you get to effortlessly adjust details related to audio, video, input, user interface, or snapshot settings. The same area allows you to change the default paths to the ROM files, to the NVRAM, to the properties file, and so on.

Stella is able to handle ROM game images that are stored using the ZIP, GZIP, A26, BIN, and ROM formats. It can handle various television standards (PAL, SECAM, or NTSC), both in 50HZ and 60Hz modes.

If you would like to learn more about what Stella has to offer, you can navigate the extensive documentation made available online by the project developers. At the same time, you will have access to an extensive Atari 2600 ROM database that includes images for a long list of games.

If you are a vintage games enthusiasts, Stella will prove to be a great addition: the app can emulate the Atari 2600 VCS and allows you to play all your favorite classic game titles from the comfort of your Mac.

  • Fixed broken mouse and Stelladaptor input for Driving Controller.
  • For UNIX systems: Now defaults to using system-installed libsqlite3 when available, and fixes delay on exiting app experienced on some systems.
