stella
Stella is an emulator for the Atari 2600 game console, and takes its name from the console's codename. It is open source, and runs on most major modern platforms including Amiga, Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows CE/Mobile, Dreamcast, GP2X, Nintendo DS, and Wii. Stella was originally written in 1996 (and known as Stella 96) by Bradford W. Mott, and is now maintained by Stephen Anthony.
If you do have trouble running Stella for an Atari 2600 Game, try changing your graphical mode to "Software Renderer," vs "OpenGL. The below two lines represent both modes in the ~/.retrorig/.stella/stellarc file.
OpenGL
video = opengl
Software Renderer
video = soft
If you wish to correct the gamepad controls, run Stella from a terminal window or through Ubuntu's GUI. Be careful when editing controls, as overlapping assignments may turn the first control assignment to "none."
