Atari 2600 Star Raiders Support?

Maybe I missed it, but is Star Raiders not supported just yet? It required a special keypad to play and I didn't see anything specifically called out or any way to map it to a keyboard.

I had it as a small child but the overlay for the keypad was gone and I had zero instructions so I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Now with the wonders of the internet I can at least solve that bit :D

I just tried it with both my SNAC adapter and my StellAdapter. Neither one recognized the Star Raiders keypad. Hopefully once they reintegrate the SNAC code into the main Atari core, they can get the keypad working also.

Thanks for testing it out! At the very least that helps confirm that the support isn't there yet. I was hoping I was just overlooking some setting :D

Play Star Raider on the Atari XL, same game better graphics can handle the normal keyboard.
