i prefer stella emulator :

http://stella.sourceforge.net/

I've got it, the full rom set, and configured it in gameex, only when i hit escape in game ex, it doesn't quit the game and return to the front end. when i open stella without gameex, it will allow me to hit esc to quit the game. the only modification to the stella config file i've made is fullscreen=true

You need to set Map Keys = YES in the EMUs config section

i copied your code exact and deleted mine and pasted yours in... now hitting escape gets rid of the screen, but the game is still playing and making noise?

Shouldn't be... Here's my command line options within GameEx:

command=stella.exe -fullscreen 1 "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

And my STELLA config file (with joymap lines removed to save some room on this post):

video = soft
dirtyrects = false
ppblend = 77
gl_filter = nearest
gl_aspect = 2.0
gl_fsmax = false
gl_lib = opengl32.dll
zoom = 2
fullscreen = 1
center = true
grabmouse = false
palette = standard
debugheight = 27
sound = true
fragsize = 2048
freq = 31400
tiafreq = 31400
volume = 100
clipvol = true
sa1 = left
sa2 = right
joymouse = false
p1speed = 50
p2speed = 50
p3speed = 50
p4speed = 50
pthresh = 600
showinfo = false
ssdir = N:\02 - GAME DATA\Stella\snaps\
ssname = romname
sssingle = 0
romdir = N:\Console ROMs\Atari\2600\
rombrowse = 0
lastrom = Centipede (1982) (Atari) [!]
modtime = 
tiadefaults = 0

I'm not having any problems at all. Stella has been nothing less then stella-rific for me.

Hope that helps! :)

Hmm, still strange behaviour...it should 'just work'.

Just out of interest, have you remapped any Stella control keys?

You could try this work-around:

Launch Stella GUI from XP, start any game and press TAB. Select the Input Settings button. What is 'Quit' set to? Default is Ctrl Q. Try mapping Quit to the Escape key. If I do this, I can set Map Keys to NO in GameEx and quit the 2600 game that way. It returns back to GameEx no problem...

(See Index.html in stella\docs for the help file, section 9 for more info)

Maybe that's an alternative that might work in your case?

Thank you both for your help, Shbon, your route ended up being easier for me, and I had had z26 working fine, but Stella's screen is a little bigger. I also noticed upon zooming all the way to 6, it doesn't do anything. but i configured the input to esc, and turned the mapper off, and it's lovely. thanks to the both of you.
