Do you remember the tuned Atari I bought for $10 bucks? I took out the guts, reused the chips and two switches in a nice motherboard, and replaced the front plate. Some holes remain, and I've ideas to cover these #retro #Atari #atari2600
Yesterday I joyned the #AvantgardeGamingDay in Frankfurt.
I had my #Atari7800+ hooked up and presented some new games like #ARTI
On a very quick test run we could see the a flaschcard for #Atari2600/7800 based on a #Pico10400 could start #Ballblazer on the 7800+
You have to select the game on a real 7800 and then plug the cartridge into a 2600+/7800+ as the menu is not accessible on the new machines.
This works due to a rechargeable battery on it. Not very much convenient but it should not replace my hundreds of cartridges anyway. I just want to play(!) sometimes a single game which is not available on cart
I guess not all roms will work and I will report more about my testing as I love the idea behind it
The Frob was an #Atari2600 #gamedev system running on #Apple2.
Frobco published source code for their tools, because it was expected that users would write their own, such as this player editor I whipped up, which uses bi-directional comms to send data entered at the computer to a program running on the VCS.
The Frob - A Connoisseur's Guide - was the technical reference manual for the Frob, an #Atari2600 #GameDev system that ran on the Apple II.

The Frob was an #Atari2600 #Gamedev system for an #Apple2.
It did not provide an assembler. You had to. Worst case? Hand-assemble, and use the Apple Monitor to put the code into Frob RAM, using register $C090 to control memory page, and host/target access.
The Frob was an #Atari2600 #Gamedev system for an #Apple2.
ATARI did not document the 2600. Besides the code in the manual, You had to reverse engineer other games to learn how things worked, seen here using Apple2 monitor.

Recogido de un contenedor de basura cerca de casa hace un par de años, este #clon de #AtariVCS o #Atari2600 cobró vida gracias a la ayuda de Valentín Basel y será utilizado como material didáctico de la materia de Organización del Computador donde èl enseña. Sus 128 bytes de RAM permiten estudiar conceptos fundamentales de un solo vistazo. #Pitfall #EnseñanzaDeLaComputación.
Early #Activision truly was a great company! Ice Hockey is a fine example of how to make a good game in spite of limited resources.
