Also, mentioned in the Stella manual is the 2600-daptor device, which 
actually performs a little better wrt paddle games than the original 
Stelladaptor.  Neither of these devices are cheap ($35+, and you'd need 
two), but they will give the best emulation experience.  And it has the 
benefit of actually being available (the Stelladaptor hasn't been for some 
time).

You can find the 2600-daptor at the following address.  I can verify that 
these work perfectly in Stella, as I personally tested them during 
hardware development:
