AA member Orange808 has created a new title for the Atari 2600 based on the Tron arcade game that goes by that title. The game uses DPC+ and looks pretty amazing. It uses two controllers to be able to emulate the gameplay from the arcade machine. Recommended controls: Port 1: Mattell "M Network" Tron controller Port 2: CX-22 Trackball in joystick mode. (Not analog) For some reason, the binaries were removed from the thread, so the latest version is not available. I'll try contacting the programmer to see if I can learn what happened.

This looks....stunning!
Curious as to why they don't implement, say, driving controller to truly emulate the arcade version though.

It sure does! I think he gave an explanation about that on the thread over at AA. I can't remember what that was, though.

You totally need to make this work with a driving controller in port 2. Unfortunately, that would require some custom kernel work that I'm not prepared to complete. I looked over the community release of the Indy 500 rom to get an idea of what was necessary. I don't think I could poll the controller often enough to get good results without tinkering with the DPC+ kernel. I would also need to find rom space to hold the necessary lookup table.

That's why I couldn't remember. I knew it was something technical but I did not remember the specifics.
