A2600

what is this all about
A2600 is a small project run by 9 people who love their old Atari 2600 and think a cheap open source version of it would kick ass. Thats is why we want to meet at the 26C3 and continue our project of building an Atari 2600 clone based on a lightly modified uzebox(http://belogic.com/uzebox/). For more information or if you want to join please contat 26c3(ät)kingery.de
project status
at 24C3 we designed some hardware and parts of the software based on an Atmega16.But we decided to restart the project with the uzebox as a base. at 25c3 we all gathered and had the first Atari2600 game running. It was buggy but now the bigger bugs seem to be solved. There only seem to be some timing problems and some minor bugs. Next step is releasing the first code to the public. We planed on doing that on the last day of 26c3.
who is involved ?
Apex, Dr. F, Agent_S, geile Tina (no not the girl from the spam emails you recive. geile Tina is a male), jab_doa, oni, VöniXXX, Rippchen, karl
why clone an Atari 2600?
beacuse we are just doing it for fun and there is no console that is more fun than an Atari 2600 and the real Atari 2600 hardware is starting to get rare.
what we have done
A spinnoff is earthsimulator-ng on an ATMEGA16 ;-) But serious. Serveral games are running on our box. We hope to get our timing problems fixed at the 26c3 and are confident, that most games will work flawlessly.
what we need
- 3 tables
- 9 chairs
