Here is an image of the actual implementation behind the scene. Music and sound effects are on the top two rows. Graphics and logic are on the bottom two rows.

I was inspired by Springmute’s VCV patch on Patchstorage that emulated Atari Pong in single player mode. I decided to take a stab at creating an emulation of Atari Breakout. It is very primitive

  • Oriented horizontally instead of vertically
  • Only one row of bricks
  • Bricks don’t advance (though they could with added logic)

I liked Springmute’s music and sound effects, so I reused that portion of his patch in Breakthrough. Everything else I created from scratch using mostly Venom modules. I felt it was important to use only analog style modules. No programming modules were used.

Here is Springmute’s original Pong emulation patch:

Please tell me you’re heading down the path of “can it run Doom?”
