This has been hacked together in a rush. It shows how to use the Stern emulation libraries from FarSights Pinball Arcade games.

It has only been tested with MinGW, SternGB.dll, 5409-0.0001.

Usage

Make sure you are using a 32-bit compiler, then do the standard CMake build process:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Use the pba-tools rez utility to extract the ROM file (also image.bin / Flash in Stern terminology) from the games REZ file. Then copy all required DLLs to your stern-pba-emu folder and run the following:

./stern-pba-emu SternGB.dll 5409-0.0001

Make sure to have all DLL dependencies in your build folder. In case of SternGB.dll (at the time of writing) these are msvcp110d.dll and msvcr110d.dll.

Keyboard bindings

  • F5 - F6: Coin door buttons
  • Left-Ctrl: Left flipper
  • Right-Ctrl: Right flipper
  • Enter: Start button
