Stella release v3.8.1 for Linux, MacOS X and Windows is now available.

Changelog:

• Added support for TIA RSYNC writes, thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge. This allows the recently released “Extra Terrestrials” ROM to run, as well as improving emulation of “Fatal Run” and several other test ROMs.
• Fixed typo in TIA HMOVE writes, thanks to Thomas Jentzsch. This fixes the constant collision issues in “Kool-Aid Man”, and several other homebrew ROMs.
• Fixed sound issues on OSX PPC machines (all sound was in little-endian format, but PPC is big-endian).
• The OSX DMG archive now contains proper modification dates.

from Elektronite Homepage:

One smart ape has escaped from his cage. Mario, the zookeeper, is in a real fix! The gorilla Darwin has captured a very special lady and made his way onto a construction site and up bewildering, unfinished structures and a veritable King Kong! Leap for your life over bouncing barrels, ride fast-moving platforms to dizzying heights, scurry under runaway springs, and avoid roaming flames and dangerous balls of gas as you make your way up. It will take not only Mario but one of his brothers Toni and Bruno to outsmart the big ape and return the girl to safety.

It’s TWO games in one! The first arcade game, PLUS a second game with five all NEW levels inspired by the arcade hit D2K: Jumpman Returns! 9 Screens in total!

Features:

• New graphics and sound effects. Hear DK growl for the first time!
• Separate high scores for Game 1 and Game 2. Perfect for high-scoring competitions!

I’m happy to share the photos of the day spent with Damiano (Manosoft) that besides being a good friend is also the father of the interface C64SD Infinity for Commodore 64/C16/VIC20.

We spent a pleasant day of old memories, we are watched and commented some demos for the Commodore 64 and we have completed the repair of the keyboard of his Commodore SX-64.

Thanks Damiano for making me visit and for giving me a lot of things that are now part of my collection.
