Eh. No, I wouldn't call it that. I was answering the other half

It doesn't... but you're right, it should.
Kind of difficult though: Every control causes an SDL Event... if you
hold down the joystick button (or a key on your keyboard), then start
Stella with it held down... Stella won't ever see the "button pressed"
event, because it wasn't running yet when the button was pressed.
Actually that might be one of those platform-dependent things...
We could add -select, -reset, etc. command-line options, and/or "hold
down reset/select" GUI options (you toggle them, then reset the emulator).
