MIPS HEAVY INDUSTRIES

Here's what I do for MM development to set the paddles

1. double click mm.bin (stella starts up with game loaded)
   
2. change controllers
   1. 
      
   2. hit tab
      
   3. game properties
      
   4. set controllers
      
   5. OK
      

[*]Apple-R to reload/restart game (control-R under Windows or Linux)

I found that tedious... That's why I wrote a script to do it for me.

 

I see that you're on the Mac, my script won't work, but it's bound to be easy to convert.

You'd think so, but Stella on the Mac ignores the command line parameters

command line parameters?

 

OK well somehow I didn't think that stella had command line parameters. OOPS!

 

Nevermind! If command line parameters work, you can pretty much do what I did in the script by

 

stella -lc Paddles rom\apong.bin

 

 

If command line parameters don't work on MAC then A) they should fix them or B) you could still use a script like I mentioned and you would double click run the script and then double click run the .bin file

command line parameters?

I had insider information - I used to maintain the OS/2 port of Stella before I switched to the OS X.

(A) would be nice, though I don't find it to be a hassle to change the settings via the GUI now that I know to use Apple-R to "reload the game". Initially I was changing the settings, then quitting Stella so they'd take effect when I ran it the next time.
