santosp Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hello to all. I think in the future to make some repro of Atari 8-bit computer cartridges. Also with the help of some to make a custom good quality long life decal, and why not the original manual of it. Of course for all that the final price must be the lowest possible, otherwise the whole project have no sense. What is in your opinion a most wanted cartridge to begin with it?

santosp Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Yes Robert, this I believe is a good start! But... because also the "none" word has its meaning , please explain some your self as to understand.

Marius Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 There are a few carts that could 'use' a reproduction, although the needs are not very big. 1. Synassembler cartridge. This is a standard 8KB cart. 2. Mac/65 cartridge. This is the OSS Supercart; that could use a reproduction. But for the rest, I agree with rdea6. There is (for me) no need for reproductions.

Roydea6 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 ok 'NONE' was to strong, as Marius say's some of the Language cart's could be reproduced at no harm. IMO any of the 'ER' rating should not be repro'ed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is possible with the atarimax flash cart http://www.atarimax.com/flashcart/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 @Gandor Yes and No. The software will work on these, but these carts are not 100% compatible with the OSS supercart. With Qmeg you can switch the cart off and on without the need of rebooting. This not 100% compatible with the AtariMax Flash carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well, I would like to see all Atari 400/800 only carts reproduced as Atari XL/XE only carts (e.g. Fort Apocalypse, Demon Attack, Gorf, etc.). It does not matter to me if those carts are common, rare or ultra-rare, they should work on my 800XL, thats it... -Andreas Koch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Do you know Andreas why they not work on XL machines? I mean technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifershalo Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 instead of repros Iwould be more interested in games that were never released and disk games/tape games on cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (1) Action! by OSS (2) MAC/65 by OSS (3) SALT cartridge (whichever version is best; never had one) (4) SpartaDos X (5) R-Time8 (sorta kidding, as this is hardware, but make a new one!) (6) More of those XEGS carts you sold out of, recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Hello santosp Why not put a lot of "new" games on one cartridge, with a menu, like BigBen's MegaCart (no longer available): I'ld like to have Cubico on it, along with stuff like Mazezam and Ridiculous Reality to name but a few. A cartridge with lot's of MultiJoy games would be nice too. Sincerely Mathy Edited October 13, 2012 by Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndusGT Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I agree with the OSS carts, they are going for crazy bucks on e-bay, look at this: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180977662412 $250 bucks for that, all other carts nothing less than $100 Sparta dos X $195 on ebay while we're on the subject there's a Yoomp cart up: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 180994627611 $250, really? the seller asks for a "strong offer" How about the authors doing another run of Yoomp, I missed out last time...

santosp Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 As I see everyone wants something different! Now its time to open my new factory! Ok seriously now, I see cause the pcb of Synapse can accommodate one of the above titles. Action! MAC/65 Writer's Tool Basic XL Basic XE Plus another idea was the Bounty Bob Strikes Back, with very strange bankswitching method and complicated custom ic rom. None atari Cartridge can handle direct its original rom. But thanks to the efforts of Bernd Herale, this is possible using his own proprietary code of 2 Gals ic. Already it has given me the permission to use it if I decide to make it. Pcb is already.....ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox-1 / mnx Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 A super cartridge with programming languages would be nice. One that holds all languages that were once available on cartridge or modified to run on cartridge, like MAC/65, ACTION!, BASIC XL, BASIC XE, SynAssembler, TurboBASIC, MicroSoft BASIC, Atari BASIC A/B/C, Pilot, Logo, etc... I don't think this is the way you want to go as it involves several different bank switch schemes and there wouldn't be enough space on the label to list all the titles :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cartridge case that allowed for larger labels would be great Atarimax's carts lose half the space on the front that can be used for a label... but going in another direction would it be possible (and cost effective)to have case made like the orange Carts with the OSS logo like this: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 170923825330 I have a feeling after 3-D printing hits mass markets, there's going to be a lot of reproductions...

mimo Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I would leave bounty bob alone, bill hogue still looks after the ip and is not happy about it being copied, just ask sal. Having said that he is a really nice guy to chat to, maybe if you got his blessing first things could be worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosp Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Bill Hogue has sold the rights of his work to some other company who make games for the cellular phones? if I remember right. This arose after a mail to him. So probably not him but the others is not happy about this. Although even bother with it! To skip this, on my plans was to make the cartridge but without the eprom inside! Rom will sold separately as a spare part for original Cartridge. But all that was just plans, if ever happen.

BillC Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 http://www.retrobits.net/index.shtml http://www.retrobits...i/osshack.shtml 4 in 1 Cartridge. Steve Tucker has already made an image for the 8Mb Atarimax Flash that contains the following as individual cartridges, it doesn't simulate stacked cartridges. SDX 4.45 (the 1mbit build, modified) Express! Diamond GOS MAC/65 Basic XL Basic XE Action!

Mathy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hello z1013 Cubico ??? : try http://www.atarimax.....php?f=4&t=1136 It also has Crownload 128kB and Yoomb! plus a version of Loops, although not the same as the MegaCart by Bernd. The first two are on both carts. On each cart you have a couple of games you don't like. Conclusion: This cart is not for me. @All: Did I mention that I'ld like Cropky on the cart too?
