Just out of curiosity really. I just like to know how things work the way they do. Plus I have a couple of proto boards that I'd like to back-up in case they get bit rot.

Just curious about what modifications are needed to read a rom in a programmer or how is a cartridge reader made?

why couldn't you just make a duplicate of an orginal cart? Is there some special chip that was only made by Big Five? It would stand to reason that you'd only need the rom images and the bankswitching hardware...

Sometimes I don't understand people who would rather have their creations kept dead than to let people discover it again. It's not like he's losing royalties off this. What about all those poor programmers who aren't getting jack for all these atari collection that keep coming out comercially? If it's about money why not build his own carts?Hell if it was me I'd be thrilled that someone out there still wanted to play my 20 year old game. Thanks.

Just wondering if there was anywhere or anyone has schematics for making a bounty bob cart?
