Tiny Atari 2600 ROMs
- 26 July 2025
On the Atari 2600, a kernel is the term for the highly-optimized assembly code that draws the display, i.e. “races the beam”.
I was pondering a question: What’s the smallest Atari 2600 kernel you can write?
I found this AtariAge thread which packs entire ROMs into 32 bytes. Can we do better?
