Atari 2600 Emulator totally programmed inside Minecraft with no plugins or mods

[marcgr]

SethBling has programmed an emulator for the Atari 2600 VCS. Atari 2600 Emulator in Minecraft

He uses some two-thousand command blocks to emulate the processor, video card, video system and a few of the actual Atari VCS ROMs.

The Dirt blocks are the zeros and the Stone blocks are the ones. You can easily see how the memory is stored using all these Minecraft blocks.

The emulator uses a scanning electron beam line just like on a real television's cathode ray tube to draw the pixels as it moves.

Don't expect an amazing frame rate though. It's just sixty frames per four hours!

Except for when he submitted a Mario maker level to AGDQ that had a dickbutt hidden inside it.

Stupid question, how does the emulator read the cartridge (whether a block is stone/dirt, and whether an internal block is stone/dirt)

That is amazing, but too bad that it runs at 15 frames per hour.

[RexinOridle]

But will it play Crysis?

Swearing and lewd content is banned, they don't really bother if its an accidental and infrequent swear but they have banned players from attending events because they swore to much.

 

They had a blind Mario Maker kaizo race for 2 events on the run but after Sethblings dickbutt from SGDQ 2016 they turned down Mario Maker for AGDQ in January. No one has ever directly blamed him but its pretty widely felt that the reason MM was refused this time was because of his dickbutt level.

 

I know the MM guys are planning to submit again for SGDQ 2017 so I guess we will see if it gets accepted or not. I also know Carlsagan42 plans to submit as a runner instead of a creator which will be epic, Grand Poo Bear, Carlsagan42, Kronicsauce and Mitch flowerpower all racing together, its like a wet dream for anybody into Mario speed running and Kaizo, I really hope it gets accepted. There's even talk of Panga being involved, maybe as a level creator!!!!!

didn't bonesaw get banned in short because his jak and daxter run at sgdq was too god damn entertaining? Staff there was all hugs, acted like it was all cool when everyone was looking, then a while after the event they banned him.

Apparently Bonesaw was banned because he was given direction during his run that he ignored but I must stress that that's not official, neither GDQ nor Bonesaw have ever commented on the reasons behind his ban. Big John (GameJ06) was also banned from attending SGDQ 2016 but again no reason was ever made public however his ban was only for 1 event and is lifted now.

 

I totally get it though, they want to keep the event family friendly and suitable for minors which is why they're so strict about lewdness. Heck anybody aged 13 or over can attend as long as they're accompanied by an Adult.

I heard it might have been because of the whole twitter thing. They yelled at him but it was too late to stop people.

I know right... I mean... as a 9Gagger I find this fascinating lol

[VerticalDiscussions]

Now thats cool. Whoever made this has a lot of patience, knowledge and deserves respect!

[bcredeur97]

i clicked on that expecting it to be cool but a big waste of time, but as soon as I saw how you could see the memory load in visually and edit it by placing blocks, I was like:
"OH MY GOSH THAT'S AMAZING!!"
