Stella is confusing as crap.

Ok, I'm assuming that the programmers for Stella - the Atari 2600 emulator - were trying to replicate how computers worked back in that time, because this emulator is confusing as all hell.

All I'm trying to do is play Pitfall! I think I've got the controls configured the way I want them, and I'm at the title screen for Pitfall, but how do I start the game? I would have expected to just press the fire button, and I'm playing!

What do I dooooooooooooo?!

Well if you remember back to the actual system, there is a reset and level select. Normally when you first put in the game it goes to demo mode. You first must hit reset to play. I think its f1 or f2. You could try StellaX 1.1.3a its a lot easier to set up.
