Stella (Atari 2600): Is "Difficulty A" easy or hard?

The stella emulator indicates a setting for "Difficulty A" and Difficulty B" .......is "A" equal to "easy mode" and "B" equal to "hard mode" ..... or the other way around.

... and no..... I can not try it myself .... yet ....... just curious

Th real Atari 2600 console have 2 switch buttons about this. What they used for is depend on the game. Yes, They mostly used for Difficulty, but not allways.

[EDIT]
BTW, I recommed you to run Space Invarders to test these swtich. When playing in easy mode, your spaceship is small. In Hard mode, your spaceship is wirder.

So it should been correct, like you say.
