a2600 Driver update

[rcoltrane]

Hi people,

Any chance to get an Atari 2600 driver update for the LJP?

Is this a "hard to emulate" console, and that's why it's not fully emulated by LJP until now??

I really wish to play the Good'ol Breakout with my Centro

Cheers,
Roger.

Thanks for the tip I'll give it a try. It also has some other cool games I had in the past!!!!

WOW! This Atari Retro is really good. Now I can hit those colorful bricks again and again!!

I first tought it was some sort of a remake but in fact it's real emulation of the original games.

I managed to fix one tiny bug in the VCS emulator; It was chopping off the bottom of the screen(where many games show the score). I noticed that the rendering portion of LJP was only rendering 192 Hlines, but when I dug into the emulator code itself, I noticed that it appears to have 200 lines of resolution. When I simply increased the render loop from 192 to 200, the missing lines came back! However, there are still many games that do not work, don't work correctly(sprite problems and such), or cannot even be started(none of the keys actually start the game). I still may try to research whether it would be possible to replace the VCS module with one based on the Stella emulator. Stella seems to be the best VCS emulator, IMHO.
