Alright, so what if you make a Raspberry Pi into a Atari 2600 using actual Joysticks just like the old console?
The problem is, you only have 5 buttons.
So I thought about it and I’m wondering if there could be a way to do some kind of joystick combo not used in most games to bring up a menu (which pauses the game) where you could tell the emulator to hit select, reset, adjust player difficulty and exit the emulator.
Obviously, it would be tedious, but at least it would let you do everything from the Joysticks without needing a keyboard.
Can anyone think of any 2600 game that does anything to require you to hold the fire button for X amount of seconds while the Joystick is centered? I’m thinking a 3-5 seconds Fire button hold while joystick is centered to bring up the menu.
I can’t do this, its just a random thought that came across my mind.
