Hi, I only get a black screen when I try to play this in Stella 1.1.3.1. Are there some settings I need to modify?

Thanks!

It's been a while since I played this game in MAME, but it seems to be a
very faithful port so far. :)

I recall each level in the arcade version being fairly challenging. I would
maybe only shave a pixel or two off each side of the balloon swing, if any.
It took me five or six good tries to get through your level, which felt
about right.
