vanman Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Does anyone know how to link 2 atari 2600s? I read about it and I cant figure out how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebue Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 what do you want to link together between 2 ataris? I know the insides of the 2600 pretty well and should be able to help (I even rebuilt one... it's on my profile pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Are you talking for some kind of two-player (via two screens) game? So far no one's made a game that does it, but it's possible to do just by reading and writing the controller ports. The only real question is whether or not you can process the signals quickly enough in both games, and how you sync them up (could be a tough one).

Well, I had made a demo once... Check out the "[stella] Teleterm 2600" thread under: http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archiv...08/threads.html It wasn't so much a game as it is a text transmission mechanism; send and receive true rs232 serial (no UARTS) with just a few wires. It was an awesome project Thanks, -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
