godzillajoe Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Does the 2600 have the power to pull this off? Something like Pitstop II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokumaru Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Since the TIA can be completely reconfigured every scanline, the 2600 can certainly draw double gameplay screens. The bottleneck is CPU time and RAM, since you have to handle twice the game logic and state. It should be possible though, if the complexity is kept at a sane level.

+SpiceWare Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sure, see the Ballblazer topic over in the homebrew forum for a split-screen demo. Use both joysticks to scroll the two displays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
