[Noisebridge-discuss] Need a JavaScript Atari 2600 Emulator

[Alex Handy]

As some of you may know, I discovered an unknown, unreleased Atari 2600 game at the flea market 2 years ago. Specifically, I found 12 revisions of Cabbage Patch Kids Adventures in the Park on EPROMs. Despite the silly subject matter, it's a surprisingly decent game for the 2600...

Anyway, as I have 12 revisions of the game--from first pass with code taken from Looping to near final code that includes a splash screen and background music--I've been looking for a way to build some sort of display for the game that could be used to teach people how a game evolves during development.

While I have hopes for building physical installations that do this, the first thing I'd like to do is put up a Web page on which I can embed the game. There is already a NES emulator written in JavaScript: http://benfirshman.com/projects/jsnes/  and I also managed to find a 6502 compiler/emulator written in JavaScript http://www.6502asm.com/

I thought I'd ask if anyone at Noisebridge would be interested in working on building a JavaScript-based 2600 emulator. It's no simple task, but I figure if any group of nerds would be interested, it'd be the NB nerds.
