2600 emulator?

Recommended Posts

A standard ST is way too slow.

 

I've got (or had) an 800 emu for the ST - it was lucky to run stuff at 20% actual speed.

 

Doing the 6502 emulation in itself isn't really an issue - but doing graphics, especially cycle-exact (which would be vital for the 2600) takes a lot of grunt.

I've used that 800 emu back in the day, only to back up A8 disk. :D

ST-XFORMER. Great for loading and backing up disk images. Did basic routines ok. Played Zork using that.

 

Not great with player/missile graphics through.
