Stella is an emulator of the Atari 2600 game console, and takes its name from the console's codename. It is open source, and runs on most major modern platforms including Amiga, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows CE/Mobile, Dreamcast, GP2X, Nintendo DS, and Wii. Stella was originally written in 1996 (and known as Stella 96) by Bradford W. Mott, and is now maintained by Stephen Anthony. JStella, a translation of Stella into Java, allows the Stella emulation engine to run as a Java applet on a web page.
