How do you burn a homebrew batari rom to a cartridge?

[haxorjim]

I've been playing with batari for a little bit and have also tested my learnings on real hardware with an uno cart and an original 2600. Before I go any further I want to make sure I can actually get this onto a standalone cartridge. I've been searching quite heavily and haven't found any step by step guide about the sourcing of pcbs or chips and the steps to put it on a cartridge. I needed to use the superchip ram as it's asymmetrical and uses all the available screen lines as well so I'm most interested in Sara/superchip donor carts (e.g. super football, dig dug, etc) or some modernized (and cheap) equivalent. Hopefully something I can buy from eBay or manufacture with PCBWay. I'm comfortable desoldering/soldering etc so that's also not a concern.

 

Any help would be appreciated. I'd be happy to write a modern guide myself if I can get this accomplished.

You can order carts from AtariAge.

Technically you can go outside of AA for that.. but, usually that involves scavenging for SARA chips out of existing carts.  Sometimes those willing to make carts ask you to scavenge your own.

 

I understand you're leaning towards doing-it-yourself but I've found the challenges and effort aren't worth it compared to AtariAge.

I get that, but I'd like the experience of building a new cart with scavenged SARA chips. Any advice on how to do that? I have a few carts already. Looking for parts and instructions on how to either re-use an existing board, or pull chips, flash and put into a new board.
