XCERPT
VCS2600 is an Atari 2600 emulator. It supports : Video : all functions Sound : all modes; IO: joystick, paddle, keypad Memory: The 2600 has capability to handle cartridges of 2 and 4kb Bigger cartridges use a built-in paging mechanism. This system allows the program to switch the rom banks in the rom area Of course, in order to make things worse, each company decided to make their own system. The common systems were : Atari Activision M-Network CBS Parker Brothers Mattel Atari designed the 'superchip' : 16kb rom and 128 bytes of ram To summarize : VCS2600 support them all but there are still some problems with Mattel cartridges. Required configuration : At least a fast 486 4Mb of ram, 8mb was needed for the first version A vesa 2 driver WITH linear frame buffer If you don't have it, just go to: www: http://www.scitechsoft.com ftp: ftp.scitechsoft.com email: sales@scitechsoft.com KNOWN BUGS: - SPRITE WRAP not all sprite modes wrap - CPU BCD has problems ! - BACKGROUND problems in games like crystal castles, etc. REMEMBER : THIS VERSION HAS NO COLLISIONS , THEY WILL BE ENABLED ON THE FINAL VERSION THIS VERSION IS CONSIDERED AS A TEST : IF I SEE SOMETHING MODIFIED OR SO I WON'T RELEASE PUBLIC VERSIONS ANYMORE TELL ME: I wanted to add cartridge label snapshots in the menu (one for each rom) it will be done if I get enough requests. English corrections and additions: Phaeton helped in this document. Catch him on EFNet on #emu or mail him for questions at ronchero@juno.com Thanks to Adam Roach (Tech Help) and Ronald Fries (Sound help) Thanks to the testers and people that were sending reports.
