Hi all...I've just recently taken up Atari 2600 programming. Haven't done any console programming before, although I have done some motorola 6809 assembly language stuff. 6502 seems pretty straightforward enough (although, of course, that's the easy part :) ). Anyway still learning a lot...in fact the only thing semi-interesting I've done so far is create an asymmetrical playfield which uses all 3 PF registers on both sides of the screen. Doesn't seem like there's much CPU time to do anything else though. :) Anyway sorry to keep rambling on...here's my actual question: OK, not having the means of interfacing from computer to the actual VCS, I was wondering how accurate the various emulators (i.e. 'StellaX', 'Z26') are as far as the hardware goes. Like, does anyone know what, in particular, to watch out for that might work OK on an emulator but not on the actual hardware? Also, what do you guys use to interface with the VCS directly? EPROM writers and old cartriges with the rom chips removed or what? (I'm not really a hardware person in case you couldn't tell) Thanks, Ben __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
