bfollowell Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Well, pretty much any and every cartridge ever produced for the 8-bit Atari computers has already been backed up and is available for download, so I can't imagine that you would have anything that would really need to be backed up. Or did I misunderstand the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Flash based multicarts will usually have project files associated so you can just keep them on the PC. The Atarimax flashcart writer interface (USB) I believe allows backing up most carts. Host based backup is equally possible though if it's not a known banking scheme it could be tricky. Note of course copying a cartridge is only part of it - there's no guarantee a backup will work by loading into RAM. And banked cartridges only work unmodified if copied to a cartridge that uses the same banking scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post a list what you do have, there are still quite a few that have not been dumped yet... All of the Carts from Atari Corp have been dumped though... I am still looking for Ham Radio related carts... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
