2600 is BIOS-less.
Most pre-CD systems are.

If you go to www.mess.org and click on the "systems" link at the top it will give you the status of the emulation (sometimes). I don't believe it does much for SNES, most people use the hacked version of ZSNESW and for NES most people seem to be using the hacked version of FCE Ultra or VirtuaNES. You can get the hacked versions here:

For the Atari 2600 use the hacked version. It's attached to the last post in this thread:

http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=17127&page=4&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1&new=1104363073

It allows for input configuration using an INI file.

Enjoy,
