128k multi cartridge for A2600
« on: April 16, 2012, 04:18:33 pm »
I built this eprom cart to be able to play rare games on my atari2600. EP-rom stands for erasable programmable rom, so I can burn games onto it :)





Edit: Now with 128k RAM instead of rom! Can hold 16 games!

This is nice. This includes homebrew, right? (assuming there are any homebrew roms)

Yes, there are some cool homebrew games and demo's out there! I just have to build an eprom programmer to be able to burn rom images on it. I will also add some switches to select a game (one out of 16)

I think I'll be able to make this work with my S-RAM chips too. My ram chips are 1k, but the pinouts are pretty much the same (but it has less adress pins)

Awesome. By the way this greatly reminds me of those NES cartridges that were sold years ago in which you could put a flash card and play NES roms in your real NES, along with other stuff. :)

Anybody remember that? http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?products_id=34

Gold coins? ???

But yeah it's quite expensive compared to yours. How did you get all the stuff for 1 euro, though? I bet here at The Source it would cost $19.99 per part O.O

Bump. I modified the cartridge so it works with a RAM chip. It's powered by a small battery when it's not plugged in the atari so it retains the data. I featured it on my website:

Wow, another great project of yours'! No more reason to shell out 80 bucks for a harmony cart ;)
I'll definately try to build one of those. Also your new site is looking good ;)
