Which 5200 emulator emulates the 5200 best?

This question comes from helping Tempest and Cafeman program the 5200.

 

We have code that will move a player horizontally and vertically based on joystick movement. The code seems logical and it actually works in the vss emulator. When I try the same code in Atari800Win 2.7 and Rainbow 1.36 I get strange results.

 

In Atari800Win 2.7 the player moves to the left when the joystick is to be centered. But when I play Pac-man the joystick response is fine.

 

In Rainbow 1.36 the horizontal movement of our player works fine but the vertical movement is unresponsive. When I play Pac-man again the horizontal movement is fine but I can only move up and not down.

 

Does anyone know which emulator best emulates the 5200? VSS is a dedicated 5200 emulator where the others are Atari 8-bit emulators which let use insert the 5200 BIOS to emulate the 5200.

 

Are some games recogized by the emulator and treated differently?

 

Any help would be appreciated.
