Anyone made a supercartridge for the 2600 ?

It would not be very difficult to download all the ROMS - put them on a large flash chip. Write a basic navigation GUI, and make a cartridge with 95% of the avaiable games. This cartridge could even have a PCMCIA slot on it so that the flash could be upgraded very easily.

Sure would save wear on our colletions.

Sean Kelly has make this. The first Multicart has 256 games inside and has 8 little dip-switches to choose the games.

 

And the second cart has onscreen menu to choose the games, but there are only 255 games on it.

 

I own only the first release.

It's so funny how easy everyone claims this stuff is. I've been working on a development flash cart for the past few days, much less difficult than a multicart. :-)

 

Not flaming... I just wish everyone that said this stuff was easy, would make the stuff, so we all could benefit.

I've made a socketed multicart that you can plug 8Mbit eproms into. It has dip switches to select normal mode, F8, or F16 bankswitching with or without using the Atari 128-bit ram chip which supports about 95% of atari roms. I tried piggybacking 3 8Mbit roms together and added some logic to only enable one at a time, but it didn't work, so now I just swap eproms. It's hard to unplug a big IC from a socket, but a socket unplugs from another one easily, so I just use two stacked sockets in my setup.
