smf_4ever #1 Posted March 26, 2003 Since the basic assembly language is the same for the 8-bit and the 2600 (with limitations on ram and such not).. can you use codes (like a player x attraction to player y) ... basically.. I want to possibly steal code from an 800 game.. into a 2600 program.. rather than re-invent the wheel.. as long as it does comply with the differant hardware issues.

Robert M #2 Posted March 26, 2003 If the code does not access hardware unique to the other system, then it should be reusable. Realize that the CPU in the 2600 is busy most of the time executing your kernal of code to draw the image on the screen. Other computers often had more hardware support for drawing the screen, so you will be limited to reuse of mostly shorter routines. Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
