+swlovinist Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I bought this bare board at the Midwest Gaming Classic. I know it is a Hamsoft cart by looking it up on Atarimania. Reading the manual I see that there needs to be additional hardware to make this work. I did try to dump this using an atarimania cart(Left Utility Cart option). Can anyone help me confirm what I have here? Thank you to Ianoid for the help as well. hamsoft cart.bin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 That would be Atari HamSoft v1.3... Your dump didn't work. Could you try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrbrevin Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 the chip is socketed for easy removal - if you can identify it you can read it in an eprom burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to try cleaning the contacts before you make another attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Update: Time got away from me but do want to attempt to try this again. If I am attempting to use an atarimax cart to dump this, anyone have some suggestions(proper settings) Just getting a a pea green screen. I dont have the additional hardware to make anything appear on the computer screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 First thing to be sure of is: are you inserting the cart with the proper orientation? IMSMC, most (all?) carts have their chips facing away from the user when inserted properly. The same would go for connecting it to the AtariMax device for dumping.

_The Doctor__ Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Post your dump. Does the original cartridge work in an 800, and 800XL? if yes, then make sure the corresponding switch is set when making and AtariMax Cart. Upload the resulting BINs from the raw dumps, then the AtariMax cart flashing images you made. Folks could look at stuff at that point, or you may find it's working already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just verified this by opening up a couple of carts: Atari BASIC and Epyx Fun with Art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
