tyranthraxus Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 There is one for the 2600 and 5200 but none for the 7800. Anyone know why? Lack of interest? Hardware problems? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted August 18, 2002 Share Posted August 18, 2002 Size could be a problem, but I think the real reason is lack of interest. The 7800 isn't the most popular system and 90% of the games are easily obtainable. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Actually, I think the main reason there isn't a 7800 multicart is because so many of the 7800 games are bankswitched. Look at the 2600 multicart, no bankswitched games. Look at the 5200 multicart, no bankswitched games. About half of the 7800 games are bankswitched, so a non-bankswitched multicart would be pretty incomplete. Of course, that's just my opinion. The fact that I have a 7800 RAM cart that plays 95% of the 7800 games, makes me feel the need for a multicart not quite so badly.

tyranthraxus Posted August 19, 2002 Author Share Posted August 19, 2002 So then my next question is what is a 7800 RAM cartridge and where do I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plans for the older non-bankswitched RAM cart are here. I don't think the plans for the new version have been offically released yet.

That was my point, neither the 2600 or 5200 multicarts include the bankswitched games on them. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the plans for the new version have been offically released yet. So does the new version support 2600 bankswitching too? Or just 7800 modes? How about third party methods?

Walter_J-64 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Using the 2600 100 in 1 multicart is the closes thing you are going to get for a multicart on the 7800 It work just fine on the 7800! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangles66 Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I'm wondering if a "cuttle cart" is possable for the 7800? I sent Chad an email asking that very question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
