Prince Manic Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I love to test my games on REAL hardware when needed I did made two socketed NES Prototype carts and I'm thinking of building my own prototype version of the Atari 2600 with Sockets as well I've checked OSHPark and I see Activision styled ones and I'm wondering if that can work for my homebrew games or not I'll list the boards I saw on the site Atari 2600 2K/4K Cartridge PCB - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/ke2psYkp Activision Atari 2600 2K/4K Cartridge - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/fqTcNFkn Atari 2600 8K/16K/32K Bankswitch Cartridge - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Z612kCkR Activision Atari 2600 8K/16K/32K Bankswitch Cartridge - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/gmpugm1I Atari 2600 64K Bankswitch Cartridge PCB - https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/wjP27Tpt Actvision's looks simple to use if I used it as my prototype carts so I don't know - I may not do 64KB so I'll debate on what my game needs Edited June 29, 2020 by Prince Manic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Buy a UnoCart or a PlusCart or a Harmony Cart or Harmony Encore cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmavision2000 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Or you could have the proto ROM be made into a cart on the Atariage store (although I don't know how long that would take). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Project by @vcsrocks with a approach to do all these bank switching types with one setup: He has sent me 3 of his breadboard PCBs in exchange for a PlusCart DIY kit. Unfortunately he has not been online since the beginning of the corona lockdown here in germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use those for the Final Version - using old UV Eproms or its flash version is my own oldskool way of doing things - I do have two GB Blaster (They're Gameboy flash boards) - 1MB is gonna be used as my test cart and the 4mb is my GBStudio Dev Cart With the oldskool way I can giveaway my prototype cart when finished. 6 hours ago, Al_Nafuur said: I didn't know these project before, but they are very interesting..
