Susuwatari Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just checking as I have built a working multicart proto. Currently I can easily make multicart using 1, 2, and 4 Meg EPROM (for 16, 32, and 64 8K games respectively) If I do build a few to sell, keep a couple things in mind: no Activision games for the same reason AA doesn't hose AA ROMs It has to be F8 based so no Parker Bros, Tigervision, M-Network, and few other brands The turnaround tim would be from a few days to a few weeks (depending on other works I have to do) and I still need to come up with a decent label for the multicart. Any idea where to find those foil label like Imagic and Spectravision? Those I've seen are the sparkling and not mirror like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I've seen plain silver and gold foil inkjet paper before. Dunno if you guys have Grand & Toy up there but I saw them at this chain. Staples, I think, also sometimes carries it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hey Susu... Do you have the ability to make an eprom board that is 16k and will fit four 4k games on it? When you turn the cart off / on, it will cycle to the next game? I would be EXTREMELY interested in purchase 100-125 of these for a project I'm working on... Also, on the current multicarts you can make, are these menu drivin or dip switch? Thanks! - Daryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 That could be done but I'm not sure how to make the game switching done automatically. Atari had 32-in-1 that was supposed to cycle through 32 games when you cycle the powerr switch but that never worked and you get random games. Order some standard 4K PCB from AA store with the inverter already added, modify to disconnect the VCC line to EPROM hole 24 add in 27c128 EPROM, wire the VCC to EPROM pin 1, 27, and 28 and finally wire the A12 and A13 (EPROM pin 2 and 26 respectively) to the switching circuit. Let me check around in electronics and see what low cost solution would work. I have lots of Pac Mans, Space Invaders, ETs, Asteroids, and other assorted common 2600 carts for shell.

Stingray Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Do let us know when you arrive at a price. I'd very probably be interested in one. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 There currently is a menu based board in beta testing, you might want to check into it before you invest in a production run. It might possibly affect the economics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I don't think PB games will be a problem. There's only 14 of 'em (not counting PAL), and at least two have already been converted to F6 16K. Make an F6 multicart and they can all go in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
