Subject: [stella] Pokey Mod For A 2600 From: crackers@xxxxxxxx Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 04:48:30 -0400 (EDT) |
Anyone got any information on how exactly activision implimented the pokey chip in the Pitfall][ cart? I was wondering if it would be possible to make a pokey chip mod to the Atari 2600 itself and would such a mod cause compatability problems or would it be ignored by older carts. It would be interesting to be able to take advantage of such a mod in new games for the musical soundtrack, while using the 2600s native sound for game sound effects. Does this sound like a possibility? Hopefully the mod would be simple enough that most people who know which end of the soldering iron to grab would be able to do it (the Bob's Supercharger Mod). I guess we'd have to impliment a switch in our games that toggles the mod so that those who don't modify their machine will still be able to play the game.
