Stella
MARINE1142:
i m tring to use stella to run my atari 2600 games but can not get to config it will not find the games. I got it to run on my laptop once but can not do it again can some one guide me in the right direction also i thought that the suffix (.bin) was something else like .srm or something. any help would be great.

I've got Stella working using GameEx as the FE on my new arcade. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly how I configured it. As I work in Michigan but live in Houston, it will be this weekend before I have a chance to post my config. If you haven't gotten it working by then, I'll post relevant sections of my configs.

Once again by playing with the settings i got it to work and can config the button but can not figure how to make it go full screen. Can anyone help me out with that. I m so close i can taste it. The cab is coming to life.

What I did to get Stella to go full screen was when I start a game you hit "Tab" which brings up the video, audio, input selections...if you go to video, there is a box to check for fullscreen...just turn it on, should work. If you are using GameEx as your frontend, there is a command line for GameEx as well that starts Stella full screen that is preloaded...just make sure your working path for Stella is correct.
Chris, I'm anxious to hear something about your use of GameEx. I am also using GameEx, but when I send it to Stella in full screen mode, some of the image is off screen. Do you have a way - or know what we need to do - to do a full screen via GameEx that will show the entire playing field on screen?

Here is my gameex.ini for Stella. As it turns out, I used most of Stella's defaults so I didn't post that file. This probably won't be that helpful for you, Marine1142 - sorry.
RTSDaddy2, I don't think GameEx will be responsible for screen issues in any emulator as it simply launches the executable. You probably need to just run Stella outside of gameex and tweak it until it looks good and it should be OK when run via gameex.
GameEx ini snippet for Stella. All emulator options that were not used, i.e. had no values to the right of the = have been removed.
