Dhaos is probably spot-on with his hypothesis, Rambo. As for what I quote from him here: Quote: >As far as 2600 emulators go I think Stella has been the best, but Tricob probably knows more about Atari emulator so you wait for him to weigh in. Stella will run just about every 2600 ROM with very few exceptions. Unfortunately, one of the games it doesn't run correctly is "Kool-Aid Man" (The hero doesn't respond to the controls), which is undeniably one of the best releases ever created solely to promote a product. Z-26 will fill the gap there, but it was only DOS-based the last time I checked. It's been ages since I've run Z-26, as I only have WinXP and Windows-based sound drivers. A Windows version might be up and running now. All you can do is check on it and see. :-) If you're interested in getting Z-26's newest versions (and ports), you might do a search for "z-26" and "sourceforge". - Tricob. "Glass Tiger for life! "

ehhhh....you probably just ran across someone's link or torrent for a complete GOODxxxx set of the atari systems. Programmers tend to keep their emulators packaged separately from the roms, what with the whole violating copyright thing. As far as 2600 emulators go I think Stella has been the best, but Tricob probably knows more about Atari emulator so you wait for him to weigh in.

The only reason I can fathom as to why you would want all of the ROMs for those ancient systems is that you like having totally arbitrary collectible objects (TACOs). You might enjoy THIS SITE then. It provides complete refined (removes bad and overdumped roms) GoodXXXX sets.
