Thank you! I got it running reasonably well tonight. I'm using AdvanceMAME on RetroPie. The rom is Tempest Rev 3. I got it working with an Atari paddle controller. The sensitivity settings are still a mystery, but I at least got it playable. By the way, my machine is using 64-bit Lubuntu Linux. Thanks again.
