MAKING THE ATARI
2600PC
In order to convert an old Atari 2600 console into
a PC that can play hundreds of retro video games
and play DVD movies, you have to remove the guts
and replace them with three components: a mini
PC, a DVD drive, and some special adapters that let
you use the original Atari controllers. Here's a
summary of the steps.
