Subject: [stella] Would it be possible... From: emooney1@xxxxxxxx (Erik K Mooney) Date: Sat, 2 Aug 1997 20:07:39 -0400 |
for 2600 games to use closed-captioning to display stuff? The captioning is just data sent during vertical blanking, and we've got pretty much full control over the TIA's output during vertical blanking... if the specifics are on the internet somewhere, it could be possible... I don't mean to display stuff like large text messages, or to substitute for sound effects (heh - picture Pac-man displaying [WAKA WAKA WAKA] or Missile Command displaying [PBXSCHISHHCHHXTR] ), and not all TVs support it, but it would make for a neat Easter egg, definitely not available on emulators... whaddya think? -- Archives updated once/day at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsubscribing and other info at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/stella.html
