Firstly - thanks a ton for your response.
Your suggestion to start MAME64 with a2600 switch, did indeed allow me to start Adventure. Praise be to the heavens!!!
Okay, so it looked blurry and stuff, but I'll figure it out.
Still, you've proved that what I have does work.
But - and I write this with all due respect to Mamedevs - if this is supposed to be an alternative to Stella, then methinks it needs a bit of work.
I was expecting integration on more than a code level. Meaning, I - and a hell of a lot of other people - know how to use Mame for arcade titles. We also know, by now, how the frontends work. I was expecting running Atari titles would be the same process - but clearly it's not (or I'm still missing something).
I guess what I'd truly expected - after some setup - was a frontend just like I've always had. Maybe a folder in the tree for Atari 2600, or even all mixed in. But at the very least, a similar experience to using Mame for arcade titles. But it doesn't appear to be so.
Again, I'm not being critical of the devs. Maybe it's all just one big bit of stupid on my part.
Still, I can play adventure now.
Thanks again.
