Head over to http://www.jameco.com - they have just about every piece of electronics equipment known to man. I'm fairly certain that they carry the burners, and probably about a hundred other things you'll realize you need badly once you see the listings. Ah, to be a geek. :-) Be warned, though; the EPROM burners don't come cheap.

an EPROM burner is AKA as an EPROM programmer right?

yeah, so if you thinking in burn your own atari carts, it's gonna cost you A LOT...

[blyind]

ok, now i know why nothingshowed up when i typed in eprom burner, heh.

 

i was pretty sure this would cost me a lot...

but i have a master plan, lol.

 

i have a lot of friends with snakes, so i breed lab mice by the 100's and sell them to my friends and local pet stores.

 

lol, sounds messed up but i think it will really work.

[blyind]

oh yea..

i forgot to ask what type of eprom burner i would need?

maybe give me a direct link to one, or the specifics of the kind i would need.

It's possible to develop and release a game without ever using an EPROM programmer. You can use a Supercharger or Cuttle Cart during development and then work out a deal with Hozer Video to make the carts on demand.

[blyind]

yea, i though about that.

but i like to tinker with stuff like this, and if everything works out right...i will be at next years CGE, at a small booth selling carts with my game on them...

i hope, heh.

VCS 2600 carts use roms compatible with 2716 (2k), 2732 (4k), 2764 (8k)... chips.

 

Anyway you have to know the cart won't work just putting the Eprom in the place of the ROM as the chip select line is inverted (high not Low).

So, you'll have to use a 74LS04 hex inverter to correct this.

 

There are more infos about how to make the modification at the Hozer web site.

 

BTW

Yes Eprom burner are very expensive !!!

But if you buy one I'll may need your services

 

Hope this help.

[blyind]

ok, cool.

thanks for the info on that.

i know i'll eventually buy one, im hopeing to get a good deal on one off of ebay, or a yard sale or something...

 

i saw one that was an eprom burner/eraser in one...it looked pretty cool.
