+wongojack Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Wasn't there someone in the marketplace selling the 128 in 1 for around $90 recently? I think this community may owe you that much . . . edit: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/235805-sold-atarimax-atari-5200-usb-128-in-1-flash-multi-cart-90-shipped/?hl=%2B128&do=findComment&comment=3238080 too bad, it's sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 the reason i was asking is years ago my star trek cart died and i opened it and it was just one chip in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannibalCat Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Mask ROM carts (like commercial releases) and EPROM carts are 2 totally different beasts... to make a working EPROM cart you need a slight modification of the PCB usually, like the addition of a 7408 IC, etc. (and only certain "donor carts" work) For more info:http://arcarc.xmission.com/Web%20Archives/Deathskull%20(May-2006)/games/tech/5200epromcart.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 EPROMs cost a couple bucks each, so in the end I think you are going to spend more money on an EPROM solution if you want to have a decent sized library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwilove Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The advantage of the flashcart - though expensive at first, would be you can burn whatever new game you fancy playing and not be stuck with a game you have finished playing with. It would be nice though if there was an interchangeable flashcart system, which not only burns 5200 games but also others as well, ie. Atari 400/800/etc. Harvey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
