Atari 2600 Emulator

Post by Jayme »

if that title got your attention, watch the video in the article:
http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/12/m ... atari-2600

basically what hes done is created an atari 2600 machine emulator using minecraft blocks to visually represent pixels/ram/rom and then minecraft command blocks to write the logic that executes the cpu instructions. when you watch the video, its a really nice way of showing how the system works and watching the bits in the ram change.

anyways, I was impressed :P

I just finished setting up a emulator console myself, raspberry pi 3 B and classic controllers usb type using retropie. Have 10k games on various systems, runs nice.
