Interfaced Nintendo 64 Gaming System with TNG-4 and NeatTools
We successfully controlled Super Mario 64 using an existing prototype version of TNG-4, which had been previously adapted from TNG-3 platform to include up to 22 bidirectional digital lines (vs. 8 input lines). Control was effected using a) onscreen "switches" in NeatTools or b) photocells with threshold detection in NeatTools to control the states of those switches.
