Mr Robot Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is there any Atari software that’s is cartridge only? Never been converted to xex and never had an atr? Space Harrier and Jim Slide XL spring to mind but is that it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 There are literally hundreds of titles, but a lot have been converted to .XEX files for convenience although ROM images are available and with an EPROM programmer you can program Eprom's and make your own Cart's, I've done 2 myself, Montezuma's Revenge and Pastfinder. Check here for most cartridge titles:- http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-400-800-xl-xe-p_total-page-step-cartridge_404-1-25-1_8_G.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Atari machine without a cartridge slot and I want to know what I won't be able to load on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartridge slot(s) filled with Play Doh and/or crazy glue? A Ben Heck creation and/or other Frankenputer? Pics, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) SpartaDOS X, Diamond GOS. Two examples of software which capitalise on the unique properties of banked cartridges and which can't simply be ripped to an XEX. Altirra Extended BASIC requires an AtariMax cart.
