This release corresponds to Stella 6.40. Please refer to the Stella changelog for a list of the changes.

Notably, this release fixes a number of bugs in 6.3.0 that affected the R77 port in particular.

In addition to the changes in Stella 6.4.0, this release introduces support for the Atarivox connected to an USB-to-serial dongle and supports storing the dumped ROM images to SD. Please refer to the instructions in the README on how to dump ROM images.

In order to use the Atarivox, the Vox must be connected to an USB-to-serial dongle with an USB Y cable at boot. Refer to the Stella user's guide for further instructions. The dongle should show up as either ttyUSB0 or ttyACM0. Support of a specific dongle depends on the (ancient) Linux kernel used by the console, but most dongles should be supported.

Please refer to the installation instructions for installing the firmware.
