Perhaps it would be possible to write an Atari 2600 emulator for the Amiga. Perhaps, even, the creative use of copperlists could make it easier than on a PC or Mac or such things. Is it possible to tell the Amiga to display the same scanline all the way down? if so, an emulator could be made to run full-speed on a significantly fast machine. In fact, it may HAVE to if we use that approach, unless the changes are kept in some kind of cache or something. Unfortunately nobody seems up to the challenge, as I have yet to hear of an Atari 8-bit emulator for the Amiga that is not a port of the Unix C version. -- Archives available at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ E-mail UNSUBSCRIBE in the body to stella-request@xxxxxxxxxxx to be removed.
