Re: C16 played Atari 2600?

Less plausible, but conceivable, would be a raw code translation

to the actual VIC screen on an ongoing basis.

The C16 doesn't use the VIC, but the TED. Which is severely crippled
compared to the VIC-II graphic chip. You need to emulate sprites in software
with it, to add insult to injury.

I am surprised we're still discussing about this bogus project with no
potential application nor any use.
