Dennis90 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'm wondering where i can get PCBs, especially for 8/16/32k games, it seems they are not available to get anyware? Or mabye someone here has some to sell? or guess there is a way to make them yourelf? But seems much work to wire up the pins on the ICs and so, considering it needs that PLD bankswitching IC too, or is there some kinda guide or so somewhere how to wire up an old 2k or 4k PCB?

+5-11under Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have re-programmable boards available that will do either 2K/4K, 8K, 16K, or 32K (sold as 4 different products). They are similar to my Vectrex boards in programming method (see the post here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/224351-vectrex-shells-and-pcbs-interest-check-colors-multi-carts-too/). Price in the $5-6 range, including programming if you'd like (otherwise, you'll need an $8 connector and an EPROM programmer that is compatible - most are, but not necessarily all).

classiccollector Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've used the attached (See Attachment) technique for 4k games and it uses a recycled PCB from pac-man carts, I've never had any problems with it. 2600C1.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis90 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 5-11under: Oh! That does seem very nice! And so if im right, you put the PCB in the EPROM programmer and write the game into it and then it's ready to play in the Atari? cus think i whould be intrested in getting that then!classiccollector: thanks! I will see if that may come in handy also mabye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PCB has two connectors (i.e. PCB fingers) on it. One on the top, one on the bottom. The bottom one is for gameplay as usual, the top one is for programming. The PCB therefore needs to be out of the shell to program/re-program it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
