Is it possible to disable cycle exact emulation on latest Stella to run it also on slower machines?

Stella is really good, but why is it still more and more hardware demanding? I am not able to run the latest 6.x version on full speed on older ARM computers in Linux. I may run RetroArch with Stella 2014 core at full speed, but it does not run all the games correctly. I remember that Stella run on all the computers the decades ago and now it runs fine just on present and x86 computers.

There is Hyperkin Ranger, I have it, but I dont like it very much, it is not very usable. Just good as a paddle. https://hyperkinlab.com/ranger-premium-wired-gamepad-for-atari-2600-retron-77-hyperkin/

Working for me too, thanks.

Ok, it is fixed, Berzerk was not terminating and I was able to get more than 100.000 points. Also it seems that the fire issue was caused by my joystick. I replaced it and it was ok.

Yes, mainly with regular Berzerk ROM. Also noticed that fire button not working sometimes in some PlusCart menus. Will try today with the new PlusCart firmware.

Today I tried just ordinary Berzerk NTSC to try some high score, if the problem persists. I noticed it also yesterday on HSC Berzerk, sometimes I cannot shoot. I am pressing fire and I see no missile. Tried both PlusiCarts I have. First it worked, later it stopped working, I may just move and cannot shoot a missile.

Now it happened at score around 60.000 This is the screen which appeared. My second PlusCart.

The crash happened a while before these scores. The score was not uploaded after crash, cause the game was not finished correctly. Those scores were just short games which I finished very soon. I may take a picture next time.

Using PlusROM with High Score (HSC) version.

I noticed strange issue that may or may not be a PlusCart issue. I like Berzerk and wanted to make a new high score so I played it maybe 30 minutes until I got pretty high score (more than 50.000) and after that the game was terminated suddenly, like I was killed, but I had a lot of lifes yet. The background changed the color to cyan like it was game over and the game was finished. It happened twice in a row with NTSC Berzerk and then also with PAL Berzerk (score more than 80.000) I have not noticed this issue before. I am using RGB modded Atari Junior original PAL version and have only PlusCart cartridges. Tried just one of my two PlusCart cartridges, will try another too. I am using the latest firmware version (2.1.0).

Thank you very much, I think this may help a lot of people. I will use my non-corrupted cart now (I already have a RGB modded Atari, so I do not longer need another console)

Okay, so one of my PlusCarts will never detect my offline ROMs? How is it possible that I have offline roms available on another PlusCart? I upgraded the firmware on one day, one after another.

Hi, I like the new release, just have to download/detect offline ROMS each time on one of my PlusCarts. How to fix it? Offline roms always disappear with new start of PlusCart.

I use my Retron 77 with my USB joystick which also have extra buttons for start, reset and exit game. Everything works, just have to map those buttons.

Nice TV! I just see you also the colour strip at the left edge of some games as I had on my NTSC AV modded console.

Why not Retron 77? It supports all the ROMS with community build and it is not that expensive.

I just got PS Vita and I like it, but it needs some tweaking, cause Atari 2600 games are starting longer than 10 seconds in RetroArch.

I had almost the same console with almost the same games, but just 128 games (no Outlaw), I wonder how they put 131 games inside. In fact, this was the reason I am interested in Atari, cause this was my only "Atari" in 90s.

I am afraid it is some TIA problem. I tried everything with that contact and it seems that it should be fine

The same here, but Chrome shows a link to video and it is possible to open

I do not own Mister, just Retron and I am sure that Mister is better for the compatibility, but it may be a little overkill just for 2600.

Well, I tried to move that contact using micro screwdriver and it seems like the pin distances are the same. Pluscart should not be a problem cause it works fine on another Atari. I am afraid that some internal component on this Atari was damaged.

I think it is clean enough. Can it be some gamaged component on PCB?

I wonder how to fix that and also how it even could happen. I never thought there were 2 layers of some metalic contact in that cartridge slot.
