RamrodHare Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I'm looking for a Memcard/Savekey for the Atari 2600. I'd really like one either made by Richard H. or CPUWIZ, but if someone here is willing to build me one for a reasonable price, That would probably work too as long as it looks at least semi professional (not a Hot glue mess or something. I've been looking for decent instructions so I could build one myself, but so far, I haven't been able to find anything detailed enough for me to make sense of it. I think CPUWIZ may have had an LED on his (can't remember for sure), but if it did, that's the one I'd really like to have.

Come on man, hot melt glue is just like 3D printing or better 3D cursive even. So, why did you not PM CPUWIZ? He has awesome products. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did PM him this morning, but I wanted to cover all the bases, in case he didn't have any of them. Turns out he did! So long ago. I got your PM and I'll fiddle one together this weekend. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/93491-save-key-review/ Still have LOADS, 11 years later. Thanks! I was really hoping you might have some left! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamrodHare Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) This is awesome news! I'm really excited about getting mine! I don't have many games that take advantage of it, but from what I've heard, it's going to be great on the ones that do! I got to thinking about something, but I'm no programmer, so forgive me if this is a dumb idea, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to create a "patch" program that could be used to add basic high score saving to some of the older games? I know there are multiple patches and patching programs for NES and such, so I thought it MIGHT be something that could work for Atari games. Maybe?
