[ukvac] technical knowledge on atari firefox?
how does firefox work?
In the game M.A.C.H 3, the target and horizon data is stored in one
of the analog audio channels for each frame. When a frame is read,
the machine knows where to position sprites on the screen by
demodulating and reading this data from the disc. Does anyone know
how firefox does this?
Does it store this data in an index in the ROM and perform a lookup
against the frame number, or, like mach3, is it encoded on the disk?
Thanks for any advice.

As everyone knows I have FULL technical info on Firefox and all Atari
games..... also I am gaining rapidly a lot of Laser game info.
