LYNXGUY Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I have alot of favorite games that I used to play on my 2600 and I was wondering if there is a emulator available to play those games on my PC I was also wondering if there is a way to use the old atari joysticks on my PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvis Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'd like to add try picking up an XBOX and getting it chipped, it can emulate a 2600 (and just about every system up to and including PS1) and is better than PC emulation because it connects to a TV. (assuming you dont have TV out on your PC) My XBox is pratically dedicated to emulation. My favorites being 2600 and SNES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to point out that getting an Xbox "chipped" (or modded) is not as easy as downloading a freeware emulator and trying it out on your PC.

Saikyo Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Yeah X-Box chips are expensive and take a loooonng time to be fitted Get a PC emu instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 There's also other ways to get Atari Joysticks working on the PC. Actually, the http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm PPjoy drivers allow you to connect every type of controller from the 2600 joysticks, right up through PSX analog pads, with a fre parts from radio Shack. The adapter you build for Atari Joysticks takes 2 minutes to make. It doesn't support paddles though, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvis Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 A solderless xbox mod chip takes all of 15 minutes to install start to finish. Very easy to do, and I am no electronics wiz. Personally I wouldnt attempt the soldered ones, but the solderless are easy and reliable. The chips are also any where from $40-70. Which it isnt a whole lot of dough when it can emulate Atari, coleco,inty,nes,mame,snes,C64,GBA,PS1,Genesys, among others. Also a rumor is the xbox is dropping to $150 shortly, so a used one from EB should be around $100-125. The with the built in HD the xbox is an awesome emulation machine. Highly recommmended. It is also a great media center, with the ability to play videos & music and streaming internet content. To be honest I hardly use it as an "xbox".
