You simply need to update Stella to get it to work.

Scramble by Champ Games is DPC+ Melody enhanced. Basically there's an ARM processor incorporated into the cartridge to expand upon the capabilities of the 2600. Sort of a Super FX chip for the Atari 2600.

Such games only started to happen about a decade ago. So an older Stella installation isn't going to have those capabilities implemented since they didn't exist at the time.

Thanks for the comprehensive response. I had a feeling it was something like that. But it’s always better if you can find someone who knows what’s going on before starting to apply the scientific method.
