Weird Kool Aid Man behavior in Stella

[Wilbert]

If you change the left or right player difficulty switches to something else than B in the Stella the locks up or shows weird graphics. If you reset the emulation there are all sorts of weird artefacts on the left side of the screen.

 

I really doubt the original would show this kind of behavior on a real system. Could someone verify whether a real cart does or doesn't show this kind of behavior?

 

Thanks in advance.

From the manual:

 

DIFFICULTY SWITCHES

The switch on the RIGHT sets the level of difficulty. In the A position,

the Thirsties move at a faster speed. In the B position, the Thirsties move

at a normal speed.

 

The switch on the LEFT is used to freeze the action of the game by sliding

it to the A position. Position B is used to return the game to action from

the point at which it was stopped. (Always begin with the switch in

position B.)

 

It seems that they want to make sure you start the game with the left diff. switch in position B for a reason.

 

My guess is that this is normal behavior.

It may be correct then, but the first screen still looks quite bad...
